i think this guy is getting mixed up between dubstep and techno, i dont like either of them but for people that do there is a difference between them so im guessing thats why people are getting confused.

I agree with what most people on this thread are saying and that is, it depends on the game. Personally I love dubstep but I would not want to hear it in games like Diablo or Skyrim. I think dubstep would best fit in with futuristic, fast paced action games but there is always exceptions.
I like how everyone in this thread puts youtube links to brostep and claims it's dubstep.
Dubstep has been around since about the year 2000 - 2001. If you started listening to it 6 months ago and hold Skrillex as the key artist working in the genre, you're limiting yourself.

There is Dubstep I like and then there is dubstep that everyone else seems to like. For some odd reason I seem to prefer what most people think is terrible while I think that what most people listen to is straight up unbearable.
I like smooth dubstep, not that harsh screechy stuff everyone else seems to love. DJ Ephixa's Zeldastep stuff is amazing and that's about the only thing me and my friends can agree on regarding dubstep.
In games, I don't think dubstep really fits in, at least, I can't see a way it would fit in, other than games designed around the music... Mind you, I did have an idea for a game based on a dubstep song I listened to...

So you want to keep Dubstep out of gaming hmm? Well unfortunately for you, the trends say it's going to find its way in anyway because it is a popular type of music. And what is popular in one medium will go in to other popular media. Frankly I don't care if it does go in so long as the game designers make sure that the music matches the setting. Otherwise it would simply be pointless.shurikenshado4 said:
Honestly, dubstep isn't really mainstream at all save for specific parts of the internet and fandoms. I highly doubt it's going to consume everything you love, especially since (well I hope) that developers are smart enough to include it where appropriate. I would play a game similar to REZ if it had dubstep since I never got that into trance. Though I like drum and bass and glitch better. Plus who cares? it's trendy so of course people will use it.
I'm rather neutral towards dubstep. I don't understand the outright hatred. Sure, in some games it can be unfitting, but I can appreciate it when it's applied tastefully... it's the same with say, hip hop.
E.g., in Borderlands
Then again, I think a good game can make any kind of music seem good.

(Too avoid having a low content post) The only example of Dubstep in gaming I can think of off the top of my head is the mission complete screens of Saint's Row 3, and getting my wub on was pretty rewarding post-mission so...I'm gonna hop on the "Depends on how it's used" boat. Although that applies to any kind of music really.
Actually, I'd point out that this thing we keep calling Dubstep isn't actually Dubstep. Real Dubstep is derived from Dub, which is itself derived from Reggae. The best Dubstep is almost always British. Blackleg's a pretty good example, as he doesn't overuse Wobble Bass.
"Brostep", however, is all about Wobble Bass, and it's mostly thanks to Skrillex that this subgenre has become popular. It's not a bad thing, but you can plainly feel that this offshoot is going to appeal more to folks who still like the occasional fast guitar riff and something that feels harsher, overall.
Real Dubstep, though, tends to be slow and steady.

No.
Why not? Because if it fits, it fits. Sure, I can't imagine dubstep fitting in a lot of games, but I certainly find it fitting here:
Also, your taste isn't everything.

Dubstep, the only musical genre that can make a railsim look badass.Matthew94 said:
You'll have to explain to me what that is, I'm afraid; as far as I can recall I picked up the phrase from the guy that does Rage Quit.AC10 said:
