They hear something that is interesting (this basically includes a lot of urban music and dance music) they then find some approachable tracks and play them on radio programs around 8pm (high time) and place prominent reviews in magazines (NME). This causes a small number of people to become increasingly interested and then begin creating that music (or what they now as that music) themselves. This causes a sound to be produced which isn't necessarily how it began but what the media has perceived the sound to be. The same happened with D'n'B, hiphop, and 'Grime', although they have removed that genre so far from the original genre it's completely unrecognisable.
Essentially it makes people feel 'cool' and unique because they listen to genre of music which is new (or so they are told). The original music is fairly unapproachable so this replacement makes it more approachable and as a result, it's overall sound changes.

and please, for the love of god, dont you start pushing jump-up dubstep in raleigh... the only thing worse than trying to explain dubstep to people is when they think they know what it is. for instance, everyone in WNC thinks its all wobble-bangers and rusko remixes, and in the piedmont everyone associates it with the skeezy fucks and meth-heads left over from the breakbeat/DNB scene.

The first big wave of dubstep fans had to do with people in the electronic scene hearing about a new genre of music and becoming interested and fascinated with a new evolution in music.

This current, massive, second wind of dubstep has more to do with people following the hype. Dubstep is a now a lifestyle accessory.... a fashion statement.... the hip place to be... and young oblivious types are simply following the pussy. I may have added a slight bit of humor to it, and you may think I'm chatting like a jackass, but I'm telling it like it is.

Sorry If I'm not taking our scene as serious as you'd like. I'll wear a suit and tie to my next gig.

pkay wrote: You seem to be in a bit of denial.

Have you experienced much dubstep outside of north carolina? Are you going to go to WMC? Being totally serious here. There is a nice chunk of dubstep fans who are showing up at shows because their favorite EDM magazine talked about dubstep... or they heard bassnectar at a rave and are suddenly dubsteps biggest fan... or their favorite blogger talked about the newest Joker remix.

Sorry if this is bad news to you... or if it makes you feel like the bandwagon may be getting full... but dubstep (in most large metro areas) has touched on the mainstream and the scope of dubsteps influence has changed noticeably over the past year.

I think most posters in this thread understood that.... pompende seems to be that overly serious dubstep type who is angry about everything
