I agree, seems to me that it's a sign of how strong the genre has become that so many sub-genres of dubstep now exist.spydee wrote:halfstep IS dubstep imo.

How would you define dubstep then? IMO it's hard to define dubstep without refering to an aspect that has featured in most of the tunes since the genre sprang up.mashmash wrote:depends how you want to define dubstep. it's not about whether it's half step or not
people are going to have different opinions. the main thing about dubstep is the sub bass and emphasis on bass in general. yeah you can define it by saying it has a half step beat but then that rules out everything else including earlier dubstep e.g 2004 - when dubstep started to get differentiated from grime, lots of it was tribal sounding and with garage influenced beats, as well as the early half step stuff. so there weren't really a defined structure to itDJRaynes wrote:How would you define dubstep then?

saying dubstep is half step just creates barriers
