Hipsters

[JBoy]

god dammit my troll thread gets 30 times the views of my track threads. at least i'm having fun though right?

But seriously Skream's over old dubstep can't you guys move on?

If something isnt broken, why try to fix it?

When Timberland created dubstep, he definitely didn't see it turning out like this.

British hipsters always have to come along and mess everything up.

Lol, skream loves old midrange dubstep, haven't you heard what he's been putting out?

[Neptune]

I thought this was going to be about PBR.

/disappointed

Pabst Blue Ribbon?

[flood]

we all have to do what skream does. yep.

[AllNightDayDream]

Definitely see where OP is coming from

[Goremeth]

james blake is terrible, overrated hipster trash

I'm not a hipster, and I like him. So there.

[mIrReN]

Sup? Someone called for me ?

Naw, I see where the OP is coming from, well, kinda.

James Blake is amazing etc, but I think the fact that he associated himself with the dubstep scene is a major reason for his success. He easily could have put the same music out as indie and went that route, and wouldn't have had nearly the exposure. He basically skipped the queue of great indie/electronic acts trying to get out there by releasing on Hessle and R&S instead.

Man was posting bare dubs on here in 07... This sound is where he came from, and I'm proud of that. He's a talented individual

[Widowmaker]

cant get into him, i hate indie so go figure. its not hard or dark enough haha. still great though obviously just not my cup of tea

[garethom]

Swear, some people on here, you'd think James Blake had picked up a telecaster and started doing Razorlight covers.

[JensMadsen]

Not seeing the big problem with hipsters to be honest. In Denmark the hipsters rate good dubstep like James Blake, Mount Kimbie, Burial etc. etc. Anything "alternative". The only thing i might be able to criticize is that they might not like it tomorrow because of the culture.

[Ayatollah]

"Hipster" in 2011 means nothing more than trendy, cool young people. It's well beyond entered mainstream. People who whine about cool, young people are a pretty sad and bitter bunch.

[Widowmaker]

this describes hipsters perfectly. for me anyway

mate are you serious? although his album might not be dubstep in it's purest form his earlier productions certainly are. can't believe you're even suggesting that

lol sig'd that

[StimpsonJay]

People trying to bring the phrase "hipster" over here to the UK

fucking stupid, keep your stupid cliques in America please.
As for James Blake, sure not the biggest fan of his new album but his old stuff so great that he gets nothing but respect from me.

[wfg1]

why do chemical/red eye both stock him in 'dubstep' then?

i think the music he produces isn't exactly dubstep and perhaps more ambiant.. but then you come back to all that 'label' bullshit,
but his music uses all the same production techniques as dubstep artists do,

its a bit like mala, he wouldn't exactly class himself as a dubstep artist, but he's one of the pioneers of the sound (obviously not blake but you know what i mean)
