Why is Dubstep Music Becoming So Popular So Fast?

also to pompende: i don't think pkay was serious about profit at the end there

I think most posters in this thread understood that.... pompende seems to be that overly serious dubstep type who is angry about everything

yeah just to clear up that i did think you were joking (i did not get the south park reference), you got offended that i used the word 'jackass' instead of 'joker' i then mistook what you said to be a validation of scenesters and substance-less hype.

hey man it's all good.... no beef here. Bad grammar, and shitty jokes make it pretty easy to misunderstand shit on messageboards.... cheers man!

theres soooo many possibilities as to why dubstep has become so popular. I think remixes have played a big part in pushing it into the mainstream, In For The Kill being a perfect example, the tune has been and is still played at pretty much every type of club night out there and it is appreciated by people who listen to all genres. The release of this tune into the mainstream reminded me of when Eminem released Stan, I'm sure Dido is very happy with the exposure she received and the same with La Roux.

on a different note I'm sure the increase in popularity of dubstep can also be put down to drug culture among students. I know a large amount of people who would never listen to dubstep casually on their ipod or at home and even comment on their dislike for the music, but then will go to a dubstep night and indulge in a cheeky bit a gear purely because they like the music when they're getting a bit wired. Fair play to them, enjoy yourself, as long as you don't take your t-shirt off for everyone to enjoy you sweating out.

I like to believe that dubstep popularity is down to the production of very good music that can be appreciated by people from all kinds of musical background. I'm looking forward to where the scenes going to go this year; boundaries being pushed as well as revert back to the deeper days, hopefully the torrent of "tear-out/wobble/brostep" stuff will die down a bit.

I can only see dubstep getting bigger.

safe.
