Not really my speed to be honest. I'm more into heavier things like excision I guess. But it was pretty chill.

ermmm... its all the same speed mate

Well Horrid Henry was a bit strong for my taste. I was just saying heavier in reference to the first vid you showed me. But some of my songs off the top of my head you might know are, sunlight hurts my eyes, bass cannon, feel so close, turn me on, optimus prime. And then I guess I would say Excision is about as heavy (sorry if im saying it wrong wobbles) I go. But yeah those are some really general ones.

that explains everything, i'm guessing either you're quite new to the genre and havent done much (if any) research into the history and roots OR you have done the research but you have crap speakers and as a result have totally missed the point

yes i am being a judgemental prick, and what?

Well "not my speed" is term of use, "slow your horses" wouldn't imply you to actually do so. I was just saying It's not my preferred style.
As far as history goes, I feel like I know the basics, I have been listening since Jack Beats was something to chill to, and my system is pretty legit, so you probably just judged me off my posts instead ha.

But enlighten me on the history part (something that isn't on wiki), besides saying it all started in London.

jack beats aint dubstep mate

dubstep started in croydon at big apple records and was pioneered by guys such as el-b, horsepower productions/benny ill, zed bias and artwork when it was still just a dark offshoot of 2step/garage then you get skream, benga, mala, coki & loefah etc who also get into it through the big apple connection but who bring a wider range of influences and you start to see the evolution of halfstep (the standard dubstep beats) pirate radio (RinseFM) and clubnights (fwd & DMZ) acted as focal points for the small thriving scene to develop and it grew and grew

fast forward 2011 and the word dubstep has somehow become inextricably linked with the name skrillex and innovation and experimentalism have been replaced by copycat noise

that is basically a rough history of dubstep... yes i am missing huge chunks out but i didnt want to spend hours at work trying to describe something that can easily be found with a bit of time and patience to someone who i dont even know

For the record, There's equally as much copycat noise in deep dubstep... (and before you go bashing how ignorant I am, I'm just as much a fan of deep dubstep as I am of "bro-step").

no one cares
get out

@incnic: no one cares
get out

why though? why come here to show people skrillex?

@jayladder: Because it's an open forum... Maybe take a step back and try to grasp the fact that you'll never be that important (but then again, neither will I). Why be a douche about it? the answer to both questions is probably the same...
