i'm guessing that (like every other fucking genre) it'll turn into shitty hipster electro house before long..

enjoy it while it lasts kids!

I kinda thought the same thing with Drum & Bass when Pendulum blew up within the hipster scene. I honestly think there will be a couple dubstep producers who will join that same bandwagon but with DNB - it is still underground, there is still nasty dirty basslines and it's not that commercialized. I feel the same for the future in dubstep. I feel it's only going to get better. With more and more dnb producers doing dubstep now - it's going to get awfully dirty. SPL, DZ, and Babylon System are way ahead of their time IMO.

When pendulum released another planet i thought it was amazing, and then since that time pendulum have turned d n b into pop/metal....and i hate it!...

"All-a get number for ya little sister
It true we cold like alaska, freezer"= i rest my case.

dubstep will go over ground and deep underground at the same time, im sure.

eventually the sheer weight of negative whining shitheads and double page guardian features will cause the good ship dubstep to capsize.
Those who make it to the life rafts will then make some unbelievably uncommercial decision, like slowing everything down to 49bpm or removing the drums and replacing them with their nan shouting.
This new scene will then begin to attract negative whining shitheads and three page guardian features.

it's the circle of life

Dubstep will evolve in a different way for every imaginative producer involved in the scene, just as it has since it first emerged. Some people will make more commercial music and be rewarded with hits. Some people will make more difficult music and be rewarded with underground credibility. Occasionally someone will bridge the gap between the two and make a record that everybody agrees on.

At some point, in the not too distant future, dubstep’s media profile will peak before attention moves on to something else and sends it back underground to the faithful. At that point, the scene will continue to thrive as long as there are still figureheads for the scene prepared to tie its disparate elements together under a single banner (this is the essential role of your Malas, Kode 9s and Pinches).

For a music scene to survive it must be confident enough to encourage diversity without losing its sense of itself. I think dubstep is in better shape than most styles of music in this respect because of the range of influences already at work in the scene.

Oh, and in a year or two every two bit singer and rapper in the whole world will want Joker to produce records for them.
