superbowl 2012

[pompende]

I think whats more crazy about this is that over 100million people via TV will hear dubstep (whatever variant there of), quite possibly for the first time. 5-7 years ago, you'd struggle to get people to give this music a listen.

it is very interesting. altho mostly, to me, it is an irritating reminder of how much of a herd mentality most people are stuck in.

also, the aesthetics and elements that are used to define dubstep in the mainstream tend to be common to many genres. a lot of it has been in the public consciousness since DNB, i think. I suspect this will be more of a look for EDM in general than for interesting-rhythm and sub-bass.

that said, the article makes it sound like it could be very good. i'm excited.

Anybody else watching out of curiosity?

[Sexual_Chocolate]

^^ my dad is.

walked past afew times giving him shit about it..... godamn it looks so boring

[Muncey]

Oh i'm not watching that, i got my mate to tell me when it was HT so i could see how embarrasing this "dubstep" is. The game is terrible, i lasted 10 minutes.

Madonna to out do Janet Jackson and get her snatch out?

[dickman69]

This game isn't bad...

[FuDuzn]

So Madonna is doing some dubstep? Ok then....

Game is ok so far, less offense then I thought.

There may never be another superbowl where the dude scoring the winning touchdown, really didn't want to at the time

[Raggles]

Those halftime kicks and sanres were so dubby. I was dubbin gout.

[Morike]

Was a good game, the superbowl half time shows are always so cringe...shocking miming etc

Last year when christina aguilera fucked up the nation anthem was the highlight

[DiegoSapiens]

what happened at the end, who "did dubstep" ?

[Today]

i was working a ritzy high-class corporate superbowl party and the dj spun "dubstep"

i can't believe the way a tempo + halftime which came out of the darkest, coolest underground scene can change the entire face of commercial music like this.

it's pretty amazing... i mean it doesn't seem as though 160 breaks were able to do that
bravo dubstep

I watched the Super Bowl, didn't hear the piece in reference, but y'all should be thrilled about this.

It means some major attention is about to come your way. I mean, yeah, a lot of newbies think nutty rave-type brostep is what dubstep is, but a lot of people will do their own research and digging and that will translate to more U.K. dubstep artist digital downloads, now that the genre is a global phenomenon that has a commonly accepted definition. Regardless of your opinion, this performance single-handedly makes dubstep more legit than any other promotional endeavor thusfar. But I'm only talking in terms of worldwide audience participation.

That little "dubstep" breakdown was awful man.

[Devry_Kaneda]

where can I hear audio of this?

Madonna. Though it was really more like thirty seconds of half time drums in a pop tune, hardly dubstep by any definition of the word. I doubt anyone who wasn't already aware of the genre is going to be converted; everyone is too busy bitching about MIA giving people the finger.

It was a staged act to create some promotional buzz for her new single. This is confirmed by the fact that there's a billion news articles about the "incident" by this point, which nobody actually saw, and lasted for less than a second. I didn't even realize MIA was in the halftime show, and I watched the whole thing.

[fractal]

she's got a pretty recognizable face

[BonerJams04]

I really hate that MIA song. You know the one.

I watched the Super Bowl, didn't hear the piece in reference,

it was played right at the beginning, and then in some of the commercial breaks.
