Dubstep is HORRIBLE!!
So I took a listen to dubstep twice to see what all the hype was about and the shit is HORRIBLE!! I always have an open ear before judging and I listened to it two different days and I just concluded that it sucks. I have no idea why hipsters are all about it. It sounds like chopped and screwed electro that's undanceable.

it's definitely a niche. You can't mix it with anything else. With alot of songs you can sneak it into a normal club mix. I can just picture sneaking dubstep into a mix at the club and getting "the look" by everybody like WTF is this shit!??

My opinion, To understand dubstep sound quality counts, poor fidelity might make sound very bad. that bass pumping and low frequencies will make you shake.

I'm not really into it that much.. I looked into it a few years ago but got distracted. This is still one of my favorites that you CAN drop just about anywhere: www.youtube.com view - but like everyone said, you gotta have proper sound to get the full effect.

I'm not going to sugar coated or justify it by saying I didn't catch the full effect by playing it on home speakers or crappy speakers or whatever. I've heard it in a good sound system and it's still horrible to me. Not only that, but the crowd didn't know what the hell to do while it was playing.
That is all.

I just realized something - MUSIC ALWAYS REPEATS ITSELF. Just like Rap & Hip Hop has become the 70/80 BPM hot garbage that is popular has become "Rap",
I guess Dubstep is like the parallel equivalent of Drum and Bass - slowed down garbage without the funky breakbeats to make it LIVE (sorry sniffles).

Lose the House Piano, Funky drum loops, and samples (AKA all the good shit) - you got dubstep....

I used to love some of that stuff on Reinforced Records back in the day, that Bass was unbelievable on a good system.

IMO dubstep is definitely the worst edm ever made. I've been into a lot of just about all of the other genres too, but 99% of dubstep isn't even music to me. For fans of dubstep, pitch up those bass tones so you can actually hear them, and then check out how off-key a lot of the shit is. Many (not some, but MANY) of those "producers" can't even write music even a little bit, it's horrid. There's people that I KNOW around these parts that don't know shit, and never knew jack shit about music, and I know for a fact are terrible producers (swatchdog is not one of them, he's talented) that are putting out highly praised dubstep releases.
Like everything there's exceptions, but I can't think of anything else people have called music that in general is even within nuclear missile range to being as crappy as dubstep is. Not David Hasselhoff, Smurfs theme song mash-ups, or those super-alternative instrument bands that play saws and coffee cans and whatever else they had lying around the garage.
Dubstep IS however VERY effective at keeping it "real" underground. You're not gonna see more than a couple hundred people (or even 100) at very many dubstep events.

dubstep has half-time snares but is actually 130-140 bpm. so it mixes well with fidget and bassline house

The first dubstep tracks I heard were these
Horsepower - Gorgon Sound www.youtube.com view
Artwork - Red www.youtube.com view
Skream - The Bug www.youtube.com view
One of the tunes that had the template for the typical halfstep thing before it became cliche is Loefah - Disko Rekah www.youtube.com view From Serato HQ in NZ we've put a bunch of huge US DJs onto that and from what I've heard it's getting played a fair bit now.
Just to show dubstep isn't a one trick pony this is one of my fave tracks in any genre from the last few years:

the reason dubstep... might catch on is.. its a lower bpm. people dont wanna be fist pumpin. it does have some nasty basslines, ur gonna see people puttin 50 cent over this shit...
i live in a town where house/electro is not well liked, people call it techno still, but dubstep might make its presence known, i can see it working here, which is better than most hip pop out there that im forced to play...

people use to talk mad shit about bmore before it blew up. look at some of the really old threads where a lot of djs were talking shit like they are now with dubstep. bmore sounds repetative, its the same drum sequence, the phrases get boring, etc. etc.
I know because I love bmore and had to take a lot of shit for playing it before the crowds started loving it and before "i'm the shit" made it popular. Actually, a bunch of the other bmore heads had to take a lot of shit too.
I hate Drum and Bass but I still don't bash on it.

Breaks turned into electro house and got shit - some good stuff coming back now tho.
Wobble Wobble dubstep is just crap for kids. No different to jump up DnB.
Techno/dubstep stuff is great. 2562 can be added to your list as well.
Where it's meeting with house and garage is interesting. Hyperdub for example. Roska, Cooly G, Guido, Untold, Soul motive, Applepips, joy orbison
Try these, all really well know, or should be but very different from the tracks earlier in the thread.
Joy Orbison - Hyph Mngo - www.youtube.com view
Guido - Beautiful complication - www.youtube.com view
Cooly G - Love Dub www.youtube.com view

You think the Top 40 crowd can name an artist or song title to Top 40 songs? How many times have you've gotten a request like "Can you play that song by that person? It kinda goes like this (da da de da da de da da de da da)......you know what I mean? You don't? You call yourself a DJ?"

So far the only that is passing without ethnic support is Trance and I don't see a HUGE Trance following here in the States.
I remember doing a friends Sweet 16 for his daughter about 4 or 6 years ago (whenever that stupid Spongebob song was hot) and they kept requesting Baltimore Music. I'm thinking Charli Baltimore (mediocre rapper), they went and got a mixed CD for me to play that was Bmore and I thought, this shit aint bad.
Dubstep is interesting for the moment, but I don't see it as the "next big thing" but i could be wrong.

Dubstep sounds like someone autotuned a fart
I agree with deez. I've been hearing about dubstep from the hipsters/trendsters since late 2006, and this shit STILL hasn't taken off? You know why? because it sucks.
Unless youre a Top Tier/world famous DJ (Kraze/Klever) where anything you play will be dope to the crowd, or you have a niche following of those who enjoy dubstep (AC Slater, Winter Music Festival), youre just going to look like as ass trying to play dubstep. Dubstep will always be a underground, PBR drinkin, back-room sound. It will never take off in the mainstream. Some people want to compare "baltimore" club music to dubstep. Just like dubstep , "baltimore" has barely infiltrated the Top 40 scene, DJ Class- I'm the Shit barely counts, bc even that song is a watered-down popified track. All this "baltimore" club shit that is being played in the mainstream is just remixes with the bmore drum loop. Have you EVER heard in original/non remixed baltimore club track (Rod Lee) in the mainstream/upper echelon clubs? NOPE.
So in conclusion- I think dubstep is whack as fuck and it will never take off. Only world famous DJ's and niche DJ's will be able to play dubstep. I do respect AC Slater tho, I saw him here in ATL and it s kind of dope, but then again, it was in a underground basement club, that serves PBR to a broke, non money havin crowd.
Fuck Sniffles.

All this "baltimore" club shit that is being played in the mainstream is just remixes with the bmore drum loop. Have you EVER heard in original/non remixed baltimore club track (Rod Lee) in the mainstream/upper echelon clubs? NOPE.
So in conclusion- I think dubstep is whack as fuck and it will never take off. Only world famous DJ's and niche DJ's will be able to play dubstep. I do respect AC Slater tho, I saw him here in ATL and it s kind of dope, but then again, it was in a underground basement club, that serves PBR to a broke, non money havin crowd.
Fuck Sniffles.

the reason dubstep... might catch on is.. its a lower bpm. people dont wanna be fist pumpin. it does have some nasty basslines, ur gonna see people puttin 50 cent over this shit...I was just thinking that... I'm thinking some dirty south slow hip hop right on top of it. Like some Waka Flocka or Gucci acapella right over an instrumental dubstep track.. People.. Party party party let's all get wasted... I mean, really, isn't dubstep all about getting wasted like a white boy? :)

new school dubstep sucks... well it doesn't suck but its not as good IMHO. if you like drum n bass then you'll like new school dubstep. old school dubstep uses a lot of jazz samples and doesn't try to be fat just to be fat.
my favorite dubstep song by far is rutten by skream.
and btw, dubstep has broken the mainstream threshold. everyone and their dog listens to it now.

There goes your usual dubstep party. Expecting something, then getting lost in massive bass and the need to punch someone, even though you just jump up and down with your hands in the air. Everyone can say what they want about dubstep but you won't know till you hit a full fledge dubstep party!

main stream in the scene. there are now dubstep stages at raves instead of DnB. I work in a corporate office and all of the younger guys listen to it here. (yes, hipsters but as soon as hipsters listen to something it means it breaking into the main stream) and by your main stream definition trance is still underground. doesn't get radio play, and the average Joe thinks that all EDM is called techno anyway. plus dubstep is being anally raped right now! thats why its catching on because its becoming more "middle brow" friendly. (the people that listen to the radio)
you want pics here: blogs.myspace.com this is one of the biggest deathcore bands around and they had one of their albums remixed into dubstep.

Everyone said the same shit about electro and that got DESTROYED through the masses. I'm sure a lot of the people who aren't digging it now will be playing it in a year or two if it gets picked up.

of course everyone knows tiesto, and doesn't know dubstep, because it's a niche style of electronic dance music.
if someone asked you to name a psychobilly band, or grindcore, or bluegrass, odds are people that aren't into it aren't going to know.

dubstep (both music and the scene) was way better before all the hipster electro guys and clownstep dnb guys started jumping on the bandwagon. It's been steadily going downhill since then...
Especially since so many dnb guys used to hate on dubstep until they realized they got to play to actual people at dubstep parties (in NA, i know dnb in london and a few select places is still pretty huge).
That being said, there's still a lot of good stuff out there, but like anything else - especially when it becomes the hot shit of the moment - you have to dig through a ton of crap to find it.
I think that's the problem - is a lot of you new jacks just getting into the sound are hearing the hot garbage versions of the core genre. It's like the difference between soulful deep house and hipster electro house. Technically the same genre but like night and day in sound and vibe. The shit you're probably hearing is the standard banger-style, disposable tracks for the kids at the parties.
And you'll rarely ever hear dubstep in a mainstream club unless it's a specific genre night and even then, it's generally better suited to raves, warehouse parties and festivals. However, seeing thousands go off to a nasty bassline being battered by several subs is pretty cool to behold.
That being said, i doubt you'll ever hear dubstep break into the mainstream other than a couple curiosities... but the same could be said for most electronic styles that do break into the mainstream. People in the top40 mentality don't really think in terms of genres too much outside of the usual "rap" or "rock" or whatever. But there's no denying the influence of the underground electonic scene on top40 at the moment. Hell, Will.I.Am has been sampling house tracks for a while now and pitbull has made a career out of sampling older house anthems... the listeners won't be able to identify it as house per-se but it's still influencing the producers and the music makers.

Probably the Skream remix of La Roux - In for the Kill is the best example here in the uk. Got Radio 1 play and was used in some computer game advert so was on the telly. Lot of coverage in the press last summer as well. Leaked before it was released. Think it was up for download on the nme website. Played repeatedly at all the festivals last year.
Last 50 seconds is ok, rest is fairly wank.

Oh wow some people dress like hipsters, good for them, most people here (in dubstep) are here because they like the music (not all.....some people are just trying to be apart of something) so whatever. you dont like it, don't listen. dont attend events. its not mainstream so it can't be THAT HARD for some of you to avoid.... right?

are you serious? did you even read my post?
I was trying to illustrate the difference between styles of dubstep. It's pretty obviously the mid-range wobble sound is the style du jour and it's pretty one of the few sounds that non-fans are hearing as that's the sound that gets heard outside of real dubstep parties, and that's the only sound that people associate with the genre.
Or did you just see the word "hipster" and get all snitty cause you thought i was insulting the way you dress?

It's like hearing Gucci Mane and making your judgement of hiphop based soley on bad southern crunk.

No...all I seen was this link to Shambhala as if it were a Dubstep Mecca and you know piss all be all! Dubstep isn't hip hop, it has its facades to fit everyones need. Whether it be mad chill or mad crazy. None has to be the definition of what it is. It can't be whatever..... as long as people enjoy it. Whether its super chill and reggae influenced, or super harsh with what Caspa and Skream kinda did with it which progressed. Who cares! Who cares who listens to it whether it be hipsters, hippies, or fucking World of warcraft nerds! who fucking gives a shit. Just let us enjoy what we like in the way we like and fuck off!
Thats my point

what the hell are you talking about? no one ever said shambles is the end-all be all of dubstep (in fact, it's more of a breaks party) - that was more for people thinking you'll never see more than 100 people at a dubstep party.
And no one ever said you can't enjoy whatever music you like. But at the same time, this is a forum of djs and people are allowed to have their opinions on what music they enjoy.
sounds like you have some issues with a persecution complex.
I just have an issue with someone condemning an entire genre without actually hearing the full range of it.
anyway, here's some stuff from some of my favourite producers coming from the west coast of canada.

Seen Lady Gaga's latest tour has been using a Zomby track?

Sure, it's something off Where Were U In '92, so it's rave/hardcore, but it's still a dubstep artist hitting the mainstream a little.

new school dubstep sucks... well it doesn't suck but its not as good IMHO. if you like drum n bass then you'll like new school dubstep. old school dubstep uses a lot of jazz samples and doesn't try to be fat just to be fat.my favorite dubstep song by far is rutten by skream.
and btw, dubstep has broken the mainstream threshold. everyone and their dog listens to it now.
so much hate! I like dark places so dubstep is fine by me.

If you're liking that zomby new/old rave (breakstep maybe?) stuff then some of the sully and hate/unknown tracks are worth a listen. Only found them on boomkat. Few on there but for example....
www.boomkat.com (bad organs is the better track)
www.boomkat.com (flashback and bless are both good)

Nice, thanks for the heads up. I'm definitely into rave, 91-92 was when I really got into music.

There isn't "chill" and "mad crazy" hip hop?
