How has dubstep still not died out?

[izotonik]

dubstep is an empire. with lots of people living in it. it wont die soon.

I have some years of clubbing and I experienced great peak phases on several genres, trance, house, psy. and I'm surprised (+sad) to see how some things changed (to worse).
dubstep and edm are appealing to young people. and amazingly this young public is not picky or demanding at all
and that's a mine that these producers/labels/promoters are exploring.. imo.
quality? it's not always a must. everything goes.. or so it seams.

some people are making old school-ish dubstep again culprate

like i said, i don't care about oldschool. Hell, i prefer new school, most of it is just crap.

[izotonik]

so. give your contribution.

Isn't that the same discussion that's been around since like forever? It makes me wonder how people are constantly exposed to music they don't like...

novelty wore off? it's the same as saying that the best has already been done.
is it??

No, it isn't. There are amazing producers out there like Culprate, Skrillex, XKore that are pushing the genre forward. Some just sit back and copy.

It is people like them that keep the genre back...

Yet the ones that copy still get famous, which really shouldn't be. You'd expect that the genre would have developed some quality treshold over the years, but it's still like "if it's dirty it's good". Madeon is completely right.

I had to explain that Invaders Must Die by The Prodigy is not dubstep the other day.

I hope you explained it with a BITCH SLAP to the face

I think you meant BITCH SMACK :p


and while I myself am a prickish dubstep/garage elitist, i've pretty much tuned out what most people enjoy and what edm fad is currently popular. It's always been the same, just with different styles and genres, and I've learned to just ignore most people and stop caring *shrug*
