Why Do Dubstep Fans Hate Mainstream so Much?

[Foul Matta]

Haha what happened with Tunnidge and Modestep?

Apparently Tunnidge was at that UKF night and went to see Modestep and tell them his thoughts...

Massive like.

I would pay 1million rupees to hear what he said

[DannyLifted]

sad people use their taste in music to define them as a person making them far too personally invested in music made by someone else

it's not cool to be a dubstep fan if everyone is a dubstep fan... if your scene becomes too big you get lost amongst the crowd and those sad people I mention feel like they've lost their identity.

Most rational people understand that mainstream music is mainstream because it strikes certain nerves amongst people and can discern that the dubstep scene and the mainstream dance scene are two entirely different things.

^^^ This.

Honestly, I don't even know what "BroStep" is??? The "Dubstep" that i've heard that I like the most comes from Datsik and Chasing Shadows. Are those guys "BroStep"? Cuz if so i think i like bro step lol.

And for the record, yes i realize the system of a down remix in my sig is MUCH more "industrial" then it is dubstep.

There's more to life then money my friend, one day you'll find out!

um yeah no fuckin shit. Where did I say life is only about money?

Btw Teams of musicians and writers? Oh yeah now I recall they can't even make their own music! Pre-made ftw
Just saying the music sucks ain't hating btw, that's called opinions.

yes many mainstream pop songs take teams of musicians and writers to create. It's a team effort and every person has to play there position correctly to create the perfect production. Rather then 1 guy with a computer.

Just saying the music sucks ain't hating btw, that's called opinions.

saying all music to ever make radio sucks definitely shows clear signs of haterism.

So what if people "hate" what the mainstream plays? Does it make a different to the mainstream, not really. Is it such a problem for people to like what "one guy with a computer" makes than the mainstream "teams of talented musicians" can create? This topic seems pointless.

Better be trollin son... When did anyone say that on here ? Distance - Falling will probably (certainly actually) make its way to the radio. I'm not from the UK but I'm pretty sure James Blake went on radio. And you can still search nobody's hating on that. A lot of mainstream indeed is $$$ and that's what the hate is directed towards.

not at all. I usually prefer the music that one guy with a computer makes too. But I still respect the skill and talent level that goes into creating a hit song

There's also a lot of people that can't accept different people have different tastes. Just because somebody doesn't like a "mainstream" track, doesn't mean they only dislike it to feel superior.

I don't like the more brosteppy sound in general, because I think it sounds horrible. Levels of popularity won't change that.

Some people just don't like that sound. Why is it an issue?

[skitz_0]

Some people just don't like that sound. Why is it an issue?

the only issue, at least imo, is that the particular sound/style becomes exclusively synonymous with 'dubstep'. i've come across people who, when i mention the word 'dubstep', what comes to mind is midrange tearout.

sure, some people will gravitate to it and may find that it isn't the original sound. but a lot of people are turned off by it, and thus may never really be exposed to the material that has more sub-bass emphasis.

btw, i'm not opposed to the idea that it may leak over into the mainstream. there are a lot of artists that have paid their dues, and if they're given the chance to get some commercial exposure and continue to produce quality music, they deserve it.

Oh definitely. More than once I've had to listen to people slating dubstep because all they've heard is the tear-out, jump-up stuff.

My question was aimed at the OP, who seems to have some sort of genuine issue that not everybody here likes "mainstream dubstep".

im talking about the people that are against anything "Popular" in general.

This guy said it best ^^. All genre's of music have these types of people but dubstep is littered with them. OF COURSE not everyone that listens to dubstep has that mentality. But that mentality is a common one amongst hardcore dubstep listeners. Like if it isn't TRUE dubstep by there standards and is only known amongst them and there little niche market then its SHIT. no matter what. And god forbid one of there "True dubstep" niche artists starts going "mainstream" now all of a sudden its called a new sub-genre and it's not cool to listen to anymore

[AggyFace]

ITS NOT MAINSTREAM THATS KILLING THE SCENE. IMO ITS HELPING IT THRIVE
ITS ALL THESE SHITTY MAD FUCKED UP DIGITAL BROSTEP RELEASES THATS WHATS KILLING THE SCENE.
THANK FUCK FOR........ DEEEP.MEDI. BLACKBOX. DISFIGURED DUBZ. DMZ & WHEEL N DEAL!!!!

[Sheff]

Chill out mate ^

[smuttley]

And you all seem to be ANTI-money. What the fuck is that??.

music aint about money even though in that god awful track you claim to be featured on by chasing shadows,you seem to be all about ego,talking about yourself and money. this scene doesnt want that.apparently your ill,about a 100 dollar bill,about a hundred thousand more until you got 10 mill.

Would I rather bump bruno mars over Datsik? Of course not, Im not a faggat.

also lol.

[DannyLifted]

LMAO YEEEEAAAAAAHH

[DannyLifted]

and apparently you know the words to a song of mine that hasn't been posted anywhere in this thread. er nevermind i forgot its in my sig haha

[DannyLifted]
