Death of Dubstep?

If it bothers people that much then they should just produce/listen to another genre and quit whining.

Certainly an overly biased write-up.

No problem mate!
lol couldn't agree more!

Anywho people I just wanted to see what your thoughts on this article were.
I hope I didn't bring this up again and anger some of you.(not my intention at all)
The guy sounds like just another listener, following the herd, trying to sound awesome because he knew what dubstep was before anyone else

Seriously! Music fads are like cafeteria food, when something new comes along people will eat it up until it becomes stale and rotten...
Then they will move on to the next desert that comes out...
Right now it's up to us to evolve and grow as a community..It's not death, but more of a reborn!
It shouldn't even be about genre's anymore..Whatever kind of music makes you happy, makes you proud is the kind of music you should make!
Now I don't know what some of your intentions are, but music is music guys! & we're the next generation

End rant-

Its clear a lot of people have a strong emotional response to the perversion of the sound. I think the main issue is that heads that got into the sound cause it was moody / minimal / dark etc. are now embarrassed to be associated with the crap that gets hundreds of thousands of plays on youtube and radio 1 airtime, and that sound is now dominating and hindering the growth of the deep / dark etc. sound as more and more producers jump on the filth train and more and more events book those types of artists. Hence why this type of thread is so prevalent on this board and why this argument will keep coming up time and time again.

I agree that both styles should separate. Brostep in one corner, Dubstep in the other.
I also agree that Brostep isn't a development. It's an off-shoot. I don't even regard it as a sub-genre, it's a completely different thing imo. The deep stuff is still around and developing on it's own. And the same can be said for Brostep, you do get the likes of Skrillex and Datsik, but then you get the likes of Flux Pavilion, or Bar9. Many different sounds within each to make up these sub-genres.

Though, I do find it kind of sad to bang out an entire page about this. If you don't like it and you want to let the world know, don't come off as a whiny tnuc, attacking individuals. It just looks unprofessional. Things like this should be conducted as means of education rather than an idiot going off on a mad one..

It`s all the fault of Dubstep.

Ignore the name and make Bass music

Terrible article... however

It’s like sticking your cock in Vanessa Phelps and telling everyone you fucked Shakira.

Music's subjective. Surely my top 10 tunes are different to everyone elses.
I personally think skrillex is a wanker. More because he was a gimp emo singer before he made electronic tunes to piss me off.

Surely no-one can deny there are shit producers in London? And with Noah D, DJG, Babylon System, 12th Planet, Nick Argon, Widdler all from North America/USA, surely this guys just a bell-end like all of us, but just thinks his opinion is fact

maybe I'm wrong

"Skream: Look I know people dont like this but I am a massive Skrillex fan....He's musically great and an extremely good engineer/producer...I dont think its fair to say he's caused the death of Dubstep...Especially when its not dead"

Oh shit DSF, what now?

Dubstep has survived Chrispy, Borgore, SaladUK, and other silly remixes. Dubstep is too strong now, nothing can tarnish its reputation.

how could you make sweeping statements generalising a whole nation of producers as ruining your precious little genre. i take it he hasnt listened to anything UKF puts out? all it is is these 'screechy mid bass lines' he talks about and a good 90% of it come from BRITSH PRODUCERS. this dudes acting a little too patriotic when theres so many british record labels contradicting everything hes saying (circus records, never say die)

'I know I’d rather be wanked off by Freddie Kruger wearing a wire brush round his palm, than go out and listen to that trash.' - you can tell this guy's an amature who doesnt know jack shit about what hes talking about.

i hate this never ending fight between 'brostep' and 'real dubstep.' who gives a shit?
both metalica and lamb of god can both be classified as heavy metal and they are clearly on different ends of the spectrum

This article writer ruined himself when he generalised the whole of the US. Regardless of that, he actually made some valid points.
