DID I RUIN DUBSTEP? I RUINED DUBSTEP.

[therebel730]

I ruined dubstep. Someone shared it with me- I loved it- shared it with everyone I could- I thought I could make my own- I wouldn't talk about anything else. Dubstep is sick with the deadly virus: myself.

This beautiful thing was created and then grew because of the loving attention of its stewards and now it's out in the world and it's going to die. Well it won't die. It's doing great. But its' soul is going to die. It's going to be everywhere isn't it? I should have kept it to myself. You should have kept it to yourself. But if you had I never would have known dubstep. I don't know if that would have been better or worse.

I'm way late. I see this artform I love being perverted by all these joiners and I am them! I am betraying dubstep. I have already betrayed dubstep. I didn't know. I didn't know. I thought I was helping.

Why must popularity be contrary to creativity? It's not. A growing collective interest will spur development to a point and then you reach critical mass. then serious money becomes involved. rock didn't make it out with its dignity. It exists but its scattered and a little lost. Levis owns rock now. Vevo. And there's one like them with their eyes on dubstep.

I'm wrong in a sense. They won't take dubstep away. They'll take the name away. They'll take the essence away. They'll butcher the concept of dubstep. Dubstep will be appropriated by pop music instead of the other way around.

I am devastated. I don't see any way to avoid this. I haven't even enjoyed my first anniversary of having known dubstep. This is not the end of music. I know this. Change is the way of life. I know this. But dubstep is something very special. The act of listening to dubstep changes you as a person in ways hard to express, you get lost in dubstep... BECAUSE WHEN IT"S GOOD ART YOU CAN"T HELP BUT BE CHANGED, BE DISORIENTED. I feel entitled to more time with dubstep. I haven't had enough time. It is so new to me. I maybe even deep down thought I could spend the rest of my youth watching dubstep develop as an artform. But I done went and sold it down the river.

I'm done. I really do feel awful about this. I realize (of course) that statistically I have virtually nothing to do with this. But in principal, in an ethical sense, I have literally everything to do with this. I am sorry.

LOOK. I CANT GO FOR A DAY WITHOUT READING THIS BULLSHIT ON THIS FORUM!

You just ruined dubstep right there. Hater.

[duderonomy]

i'm new here. can someone tell me if i'm ruining it too?

here's a little about me: I live in Los Angeles. i don't own heavy frame glasses. i don't own any converse. I am clean shaven. i do own a few plaid shirts. i own one hoody that I wear out on occassion. my jeans aren't tight at all and allow my jans to breathe. i don't shop at american apparrel or urban outfitters. i can't shuffle. i don't have a 'crew'. i dj bass music with ableton using mp3s. i don't smoke weed regularly but will on special occassions. i go to the gym. I prefer to drink GOOD beer (i'd rather drink your mom's tit sweat than a PBR). i drive a car instead of a fixed gear bike, especially after midnight. bass music takes up about 75% of my free time in life.

from that description would you say i'm ruining the dubstep?

Did i post this up? holy shit we are twins or something. the only thing you didnt post right about me is that i do own converse haha wtf that's a trip. i like how you put "i drive a car instead of a fixed gear bike" because i fucking hate the fixie trend.

You two DEFINITELY ruined dubstep. Mp3s? Allowing your 'jans' to breath? Don't get me started.
