Arghhh, it's just people influenced by different things?! You don't put 2 rock bands in different sub genres because one song was influenced by a girl and another by an arguement?

Most dubstep started dark anyway? After people branced out from the Horsepower style of darker garage, early Skream and DMZ tracks show that. Damn Rusko creating banger after banger and putting ideas in peoples heads that thats how dubstep is always meant to sound.

well think about it, you could hardly bring spongebob into the new kontext 12" on immerse could you...you can obviously build & build & build & build until you get to spongebob style stuff, but for me i prefer all deep all night, get me.

LOL I love how you folks scared away the guy who started this thread.

My thoughts, if ppl choose to create names for a particular strand of music, then let them do it...what difference does it make in the end. All the "labels create limitations" business is all in the mind really. It doesn't become restricted because somebody who blogs or whatever applies a name to it. It's not like a producer is there being like "fuuuuuuuuuuuck these folks went and labelled my shit Icestep so now all my tunes will subsequently sound chilly as hell". Nobody with common sense would allow that to happen to themselves. While yes, it gets confusing because there are a lot of subgenres and sub-subgenres and sub-sub-subgenres, most people have enough intelligence to figure it out themselves.

Music does not get any worse because of genres....it only gets worse when producers get uncreative...therefore you gotta question THEM personally.

This, but also you get stuck with people only going out to specific kinds of sub-genre events.

you could probably split almost everytune in to a sub genre if you really tried

Ha ha, when did he say that? Have to admit that the vast diversity didn't seem much in evidence on sunday night...

Re subgenres, I tried to say this in the other thread but noone took me up on it - everyone goes on like calling something 'liquid dubstep' or 'deep dubstep' or 'wobblestep' is going to cause those genres to coalesce and stratify. But despite all the frantic self policing, tearout wobble has basically turned into a fairly rigid subgenre anyway. So all this paranoia seems a bit like someone referring to a brain tumour as a headache in the hopes that that way it won't kill them...

Talking about 'deep dubstep' is a lot sillier because it's a much broader and more continuous range of stuff, but it seems like calling wobbley bangers 'wobblestep' or something could hardly make them much more rigidly defined than they already are, and might help people to realize that when people talk about the diversity of dubstep they don't mean that it varies from Caspa to Rusko to Unitz... Or maybe if people start coming up with loads of subgenres producers will be so afraid of being pigeonholed that they'll start becoming militantly diverse?
