I guess this is a weird way to introduce myself but you will have to manage, and I know there have been a million topics about Skrillex, etc but here me out. I am from the US, so we usually get a bad rep for our contribution to the "dubstep" genre. To be honest I don't think we have contributed anything to the dubstep genre. We have made the train wreck of a genre called brostep.( Well I dont know if we can take all the credit for it.)To get to my point, I see Americans, and mostly kids being stereotyped all the time for listening to brostep, as it has started to get even more mainstream. I am a teenager, and I cannot stand brostep. I have to deal with other kids talking about how awesome Skrillex's tunes are, even though his synths all sound the same, and when I try to introduce my friends some real dubstep tracks I get "This isnt dubstep, and besides it sound like the same thing repeating itself." God it is starting to bother to me. I havent found a single person my age that listens to real dubstep. I really do not want to ramble on so I will get to my point.

- Are there any teens that listen to real dubstep?(Loefah, Mala, Coki, Scuba, Goth Trad)

- Are there any American artists that produce dubstep that does not sound like kittens being grinded up in a blender?

Feel free to tell me your opinions, I want to here what you have to say. Have a nice day... or night.

I'd say this is a pretty good contribution....

Yeah, there are tons of us teeny boppers who like "real" dubstep. Tons of us produce it as well. I'd venture to say that a large portion of our board members are in their teens. Some of us are less pretentious and more open minded to change than others but *shrug* I like kittens getting grinded up in blenders on certain days just as much as I like dark brooding sub bass on a swingy rhythm on others.

Edit : Oh my god, this Starkey track is ... just...

yeah i was 14 when i started listening to real dubstep. now 18. never looked back. does jitset count as dubstep/grime? if so ive been an avid listener since i was about 12-13.

also




do these count?

there are plenty teens out there listening to well produced music, I don't think age is how you should be looking at it though, it all comes down to musical preference although i think it is known that a younger audience seem to follow trends easier, I'm from Sydney an the tear out stuff is the only stuff making a big impact here my news feed is constantly flowing with skrillex etc normally followed by a comment of how filthy it is, seems to be the trend at the moment an as I said before youth do follow trends easier. oh an I'm 19 been listening for about 3-4 years

I got into dubstep when i was 15, i'm 19 now, used to get into super dub pressure in brighton with a fake ID, those were the days. Saw so many good acts down there, I don't think it happens anymore, but being 15, in a club, seeing a Digital Mystikz b2b 2 hour set was out of this world, nothing has compared since. I remember seeing Loefah, Kode 9, N Type, Jamie Vex'd, Silkie, Breakage and so many others down there, wicked nights.

So yeah I listen to "real" dubstep, i do kinda hate how when i tell people I like dubstep the instantly conclude I love Borgore and Funtcase

i'm 18, we're behind the times here though, everyone else seems to listen to bassline and grime rather than brostep around my area

i know loads of teens that are into the deeper sounds, don't be ridiculous

you know how old ramadanman was when he set up hessle?

compa is about 14 as well i think and A-List is 12

its funny cause nineTEEN was the transition time for me, where i moved away from 'brostep' but still liked it... then by abt the time of my 20th birthday i decided i really disliked robots and just listened to "real dubstep" (whatever that means)

no way is compa 14?
that guy can mix dmn good and has a good taste of music.

i'm 19, i was into dubstep when i was 15 i think that was pretty early for belgium since we did get the first international dubstep djs to belgium and then the scene exploded here.
