is anyone really surprised by this?

i mean, at the end of the day, the funny thing is that whoever does the thing for style is actually right; dubstep is a big look right now. With so many good tunes out right now it's hardly surprising that the music is going overground.

Beginning of the end? End of what? No-one can seriously believe that scenes will never evolve or never get exposure to the masses. Fair play, the innocence of the scene might be lost a little bit, but i don't think the style guide will be responsible for that. At the end of the day, its up to us as the scene to make sure there is a quality control on what gets played at.

the fact is that is they say it is fashionable, then its fashionable. I guess the point is that people might turn out for DMZ because they've read its the hot night (which is true), not because they like it (which is sad, but not surprising).

Do they understand it? Dunno... can't speak for them... i don't like the intellectualise music; if they feel it, its all good no?

the end will truly be here, when I find some fucka shouting at me on late night TV advertising Dubstep Anthems Vol. 10

unfortunately it seems to be a rule that when something becomes 'fashionable' then the shit heads jump onboard and rip the soul out of it

still things are on an up right now

hope it stays that way

At least now, more people might know what I'm on about when I say that I'm into Dubstep.

The looks on peoples face when I say I like breakcore or dubstep...

I love to know what they actually thought it was.

The Roni Size of dubstep? When will we hear that? It needs to enter the English dictionary first. Then we can say it's shit

Dubstep is one of those types of music you HAVE to understand to go to dances (not trying to imply here it is an exclusive club-either that you get it/it gets you or you dont) people gonna stick out like sore thumbs if they stand around stroking their beards. Can you fake a skank?

EDIT: that doesn't really come across correctly at all. This is the question that I think Im getting at: Is dubstep a form of music that is susceptible to being populated by the fashionista's?

Is any form of music safe?

To be honest I think this has been blown out of proportion a bit. The journalist who writes this could be a music aficianado for all I know, and may truly love dubstep so they put this on the 'hot' list. The kind of target audience that the Style magazine has is unlike to trek down to DMZ just because dubstep got named briefly as 'hot'.

This is what I hope anyway. The last thing I want to happen is for people to get into dubstep for the wrong reasons, because its downhill from there...

I think Dubstep going overground is a good thing. People are desperate to hear music as good as this shit. People will throw out terms like "fashionista" or "dilettante" but the truth is stuff like this can also provide the initial exposure to people who will become massive fans for a long time to come. The sound is massive and it deserves a wider audience. Prospect of the Stella Sessions on Radio 1 sounds pretty freaking sweet to me!

I remember when "Noise" became fashionable.
Who else remembers when the press was going mad for Sonic Youth, Harry Pussy, E.A.R and others....
(I aint cussing there music, it was/is called "Noise" and was listed in Rough Trade at the time as such)
No-one else remember? Oh well maybe I'm jus old, lol!

But yeh this is the beginning of the end as Paulie rightly says.
"Stella Sessions" on Radio One! I cant think of anything much worse than people with no knowledge of this music listening to some of the best music out there and comparing it to the pop shite that Radio 1 play most of the time.
"I love that chilled tune with the flute, you kno that dubby thingy, Radio 1 played it after that Heaven is A Place on Earth trance tune"<- This is where we are headed if we aint careful (do you want that?)
