It's the best thing ever. I think it's the future of music, dog. It's like, you're sitting there, listening to Smash Mouth, then one day you wake up. Why did you wake up? Dubstep.


Think about it.

So, I was laying in this corn field listening to dubstep, and I was like, "Dawg, this be life, man", you know. 


What is up with dubstep suddenly being the best thing ever?

I was overjoyed when I discovered dubstep when it was still pretty underground and new and fresh...
Now I'm kinda bored with it though.

Dubstep is way slower for one thing. Drum and Bass is about 170bpm. Dubstep is more like 140bpm (in half time). And oscillation.

LOL yea, duh.

It's like, dude. You think you know dubstep, but you don't. You know the Mass Effect theme? That's dubstep. Not all dubstep is whirr whirr bwub bwub bwub bwub bwub. There's ambient dubstep, melodic dubstep, experimental dubstep, post-dubstep. Dude, everything you listen to is dubstep. I know dubstep is new and all, but I'm glad us Steppers have overtaken the genres and attached them into their appropriate dub categories. I'm a big fan of melodic dubstep, personally:
  
  I mean, can you imagine what that would have sounded like without one of our 8 dubstep samples? It would have been completely gay.

When Britney's new single features a dubstep breakdown you know it's kind of played out as an actual 'scene'. I think dubstep has still produced enough interesting sounds and ideas to make a good contribution to contemporary pop music production though.

I really want to get into Dubstep but I find that a lot of it is hit and miss. Can some of you guys suggest some to me based on my tastes? I really like:


Deadmau5 - Raise your Weapon
Deadmau5 - Ghosts n' Stuff (Nero remix)
Nero - Innocence
Skrillex - Nice Sprites and Scary Monsters

I find a lot of dubstep can be boring, but then there are songs like the ones above which have these really futuristic sounds and stuff going on, and they just sound awesome. Any suggestions?

I cam't stand any of the wubwub, Skrillex/Borgore stuff, it all sounds the same.


However, I am a big fan of the more subtle* dubstep. Burial, Mount Kimbie and James Blake (his EP's, not a big fan of the album)

I dunno what dubstep is but i'm enjoying some of those Scrillex jams that have been in some Video game Trailers.   Mostly notably the reptile theme and the uncharted 3 one.

Katy B - Katy on a Mission is the best dubstep track ever. I'm sure purists hate it, but it takes the best parts of dubstep and forces them in to a genuine song, you know with verses and a chorus and a pop structure. Obviously I don't need to post it if you're British because you can't have not heard it, but the best Brit popstars never seem to make it in America so here it is for anyone who's not heard it.

A song doesn't need to be overly complicated to sound good.

I tbh, think Dubstep is one of the worst musical movements to date. I've yet to hear a song that was even slightly original and technically proficient. If y'all want to lay about listening to ambient music listen to Explosions in the Sky. And if you want music that is about the bass then you're insane.

Also not enough pictures in the OP...

Ok, well let me rephrase, if you're British and ever listen to top 40 radio or go to nightclubs then you'll have heard Katy B - Katy on a Mission.

Just noticed this. Great pop music has never been, and never will be, about technical proficiency. If you want technical proficiency you listen to wank like Steve Vai (or preferably jazz or classical music). Granted there have been highly technically proficient musicians who have written great pop music, but they've generally written their best work when they've reigned in their virtuosity and wanky tendencies and concentrated on writing hooks. On the other hand some great pop songs have been written by musicians who can barely play their instruments. Hooks trump technical proficiency every time.

Dubstep always seems terrible when played in a social environment. It comes on in the middle of a mix, no one knows how to dance to it and everyone fucks off to get a drink and wait a while till some good unce unce unce comes back on.

Dubstep is fucking stupid.

All too often the actual "Dubstep" portion of a track sounds like it's completely unrelated to the rest of the track. Once the drop happens, it's like the worst DJ on the planet is lazily cross-fading between two incompatible pieces of music.

By the way, check out my Dubstep track:
