Brostep / Skrillex and the Forum.

[antipode]

The question is who do you honestly think has been the most detrimental to Dubstep as a whole?

Nobody. Find me a producer that has stopped producing, a DJ that has stopped DJing, a label that has stopped putting out tunes just because brostep happened.

loefah?

was gonna say this. Think you could seriously claim, especially with that recent interview, that he stopped producing because he felt that dubstep was templating. Not specifically because of brostep though. His last tunes were around the time Caspa and Rusko blew up but he actually says in the interview he doesn't consider them brostep (they in no way were back then anyway). Didn't Toasty stop under that alias for a similar reason of just feeling he was done with it, but a lot earlier?

Exactly. Could apply equally to the Dungeon Sound.

My point was nobody stopped because Boregore/Skrillex started.

If anything, I reckon those two have been responsible for more producers starting than probably anyone else involved with Dubstep/Brostep/Complextro.

The only reason anyone dislikes Skrillex is because when you say
"I like dubstep" someone says "you mean like Skrillex?"

hasn't harmed the music scene in anyway, except for what music is played at clubs

it's just frustrating

Depends what clubs you go to.

Gotta be honest, I spend most of my free time reading about music, writing about music, listening to music, buying music, and I've only heard one Skrillex tune (That scary monsters tune). I'm either very lucky, or it's a lot easier to avoid music you don't like than some dudes make out.

this is true! to be quite honest i haven't been around here much and between the odd friend coaxing me to leave the techno room to go see some funtcase at a music festival i hadn't really been in contact with brostep, i haven't been around it much in real life either...i just stick to the deep sounds normally for some reason, with the odd midrange screamer that catches my attention every once in a while. but once i started hanging around here and reading the posts i've realized i am coming into contact with it MORE, which is kinda ironic considering most of you boast the deeper side of the spectrum as being superior

hell the other day i had to ask if some brostep tune i liked was brostep on here, had no idea what the criteria for brostep even was...

[Killamike49]

I dont understand how people can say they like Borgore/Flux/Dr P etc and not like Skrillex. Surely it is just all the same sounds/noises just in a different order?

Nah son. That's pretty narrow minded of you. To be fair though, alot of producers are starting to sound exactly like the skrill. But even between kill the noise feed me and skrillex (artists i consider to sound like each other) you can hear pretty drastic differences in the way they make their filth wobble.

i wish Feed Me kept making drum n bass

Those two have no influence on me. It's just the other 15 year old fan boys that have only started making music because of them (no offence to any other 15 year old otherwise).

I started producing after hearing Drumz West, Night, Red Eye, Spongebob and Horrid Henry.

EDIT:

Why does everyone in Brostep use the same fucking snare?

Also why does everyone feel the fucking need to use a synth in between basses?

I'm beginning to hate Brostep more and more by the day.

i find it fascinating how people keep this thread/topic alive with so much PASSION!
the horse is dead now (and has been for a good while). what about trying to NOT GIVE A FUCK?!

[idontreallygiveashit]

Modestep are on a quest to destroy all "commercial music". Ironic? No?

The only good part of that entire video was the women.

I don't even think that can be classed as UK Bass that was just fucking noise.

90% of the people I know that know about "dubstep" know about brostep
they don't know who mala is, or pinch, or kode9
that being said their overall music taste is pretty trash, but still this is who I'm talking about

it must be a geographical thing, and no one can just collectively talk about America because it's radically different city to city & state to state

But a lot of people on here know about the many faces of dubstep, so I get my talking done on here, outside of the 3 or 4 people I know with decent taste. I just bite my tongue otherwise.

[dickman69]

I've learned to do the same as well lol

or just say bass music, and then when they look like they have no idea what bass music is, then run away
