Dubstep Culture

[Walt Thizzney]

There is two sides...

[test_recordings]

I don't think dubstep in particular has a culture itself so much as it being part of others...

[Dezbeatz92]

it used to attract (and still does in the right places) open minded people with a thirst for knowledge of the sound certain people were creating, the soundsystem n dubplate culture was important so much more then...

(this isnt a rant or anything its literaly just me being stuck in the past with that stuff lol)

i still wish it was those eyes down, dark room, hood up, blazin near the bassbin days...not the topless, sweaty, NUS card holding, high frequency, glow stick days we get now lol

thank god/mala for DMZ!

DMZ over here are at the pinicle of the 'culture' in my eyes only events still left that are eyes down hoods up ones!
since 2009 the audience has changed sooooooo much like others have stated i dont want to mention the terms i have in mind but lets just say since dubstep hit mtv and the likes of i need air so on so forth.. things have been changing rapidly in the uk as im sure everywhere else!

from what iv seen on nights out most of the people aren't there for the music . they are there because its what everyone is talking about or whatever . what i dont get is the people that pay money to get in , then stay in the smoking area all night " cos its cool to listen to dubstep"

There is absolutely no scene whatsoever in my state, but I know there are still dubstep nights here and there in some surrounding states (that I've yet to attend). I've been watching the scene unfold from behind my computer screen since Fabriclive 37 first came out, and I'd agree that even since then, a lot has changed. As far as who the music attracts, I actually know very few people who enjoy dubstep like I do. In fact, there is only one other person in my close circle of friends who enjoys it. If I were to stereotype the kind of people we are, along with the others I know who enjoy the music, I think it would be safe to say that in Indy, the college/ young adults/ hardcore music/ hip hop fans/ nerds are among the 'fanbase' of the genre.

Again, my knowledge of the scene is quite limited, but just figured I drop some input, considering I'm probably in the minority since the Midwest seems to have shown very little interest in anything and everything to do with dubstep. It's actually a motivating factor in my learning to mix- because there is so much bullshit within the genre that people have to sift through, many turn away because their first impression is lackluster. I want to mix for parties and show the college crowd that there is really some amazing music out there...

That, although I never got to experiance it due to being a late starter.
Living inside the speaker gives a good insight into how I imagine it used to be an I wish to god I had gotten into dubstep around that time.

An bring on DMZ in the Dam!!!!!!
