The Escapist's opinion on 'Dubstep'?

[Wicky_42]

Good dub it good!

Done thread has been done!

Internet memes are ubiquitous and endlessly useful...

 

[Alade]

I've only enjoyed two dubstep songs so far, Chrispy - FYD and Nero-innocence. Haven't looked too much into the genre tho.

Personally I'm really into it at the minute, not so much Nero and Flux Pavilion, but SBTRKT and Noisia too name a few.
Right thing to do - SBTRKT [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmV0gWzp9PQ]
Exodus - Noisia. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDS872M9Y9c]
The second track has a superb video may I add.

Forgive me, but I just had to post this:


OT: I don't mind it, but I don't like it either. I don't actively listen to it.

Although it does go well with racing games.

Viva la Skrillex.

Spoiler: My face

Words can't state my reaction, so I used an image.

Good choice, good choice ^_^ Skrillex fan uh?

 

[Lord Merik]

I don't like it. At all. Its just random noise to me.

 

[MASTACHIEFPWN]

Kill it.
Kill it with FIRE

 

[xXAsherahXx]

It's ok, but not fantastic. I liked that recent collaboration Skrillex did with Korn, but not much other than that.

 

[Reptiloid]

Talentless garbage. I prefer my music to have some structure. Psytrance all the way!

 

[Baneat]

In America there's almost a cult following.

Favorite song:

Never heard it before, so beast. But did Youtube kill the bass in that song? I'm using some decent stuff and for something with bass that's supposed to be there, it wasn't at all.

Viva la Skrillex.

Good choice, good choice ^_^ Skrillex fan uh?

Spoiler: Probably should have posted this one.

[sub]So sorry mate, not really a fan...[/sub]

Ahh...my bad. I suppose when it comes to shock you can go one way or the other, 50/50 eh?

 

[duchaked]

I was first introduced to it in that "Dubstep Guns" video (Klaypex) so my opinion of it is highly favorable haha

but I pretty much avoid all the crappy stuff, especially "remixes" that are everywhere

 

[TornadoFive]

Not my personal cup of tea, but I have long since come to the realisation that humanity is weird, wonderful and above all, just plain strange. Therefore, feel free to enjoy whatever kind of music suits your tastes. I will not judge you.

 

[Joshimodo]

An abomination in 99% of cases, and even that 1% is average at best. It's just noise.

 

[Private Custard]

Someone I know said it was like listening to your speakers being sick.....but in a good way!

Me, I think it's great. It reminds me of jungle from the early nineties. It doesn't take itself too seriously and revolved around massive bass......which is good!

I was set a challenge by a guy on a flight sim forum a while back, to use something hard in a video. I have to say, it wasn't easy!


Although I do think that 'kill everybody' is walking a fine line. It's a bit manic, even though the underlying beat is there.

 

[AndyFromMonday]

It's better then club music but that's not saying much.

 

[oktalist]

We like to categorise and classify things as belonging to this or that genre, but it fails in the end because (a) there is much overlap and (b) genres become stereotyped.

This is greatness:
