Hey guys! :)
I am student at The White Mountain School and I am doing independent project on the future of dubstep. Could you answer few questions? It would really help me.

What changed in dubstep music in past years?

Do you consider those changes positive or negative?

What do you think the future of dubstep is? What do you see coming next?

What do you like/don’t like about popularizing of dubstep music?


Thank you for your time! Have a nice day.

What's the context (i.e. what kind of class is this project for)?

Independent research. We can basically choose whatever we want to study :))

Global economic inequality, for example. Far more interesting than what you could learn about dubstep just by searching this forum.

Too late. My research is mainly focused on the making of the dubstep, but I also have to do this part.. :)

Biggest changes are A) the people (there's more of them and they're younger: this includes audience and producers) and B) the institutionalization of subgenres, even though there was never really one sound to begin with.

Having been through pretty similar cycles before - DnB did this, punk before that - I don't feel any which way about it any more. It just is.

The future will include more such stylistic meta-cycles.

pretty much this

dubstep followed the same steps as any 'nuum-related genre up to a point, then it kinda splintered in various separate directions (brostep; dungeon; future garage; "bass music"(whatever that was/is); producers moving over to techno, house, uk funky, juke etc; labels with their own niches (keysound, hyperdub, night slugs/fade to mind, etc))

Can't speak for other countries but as far as the UK was concerned, the smoking ban had quite a significant effect on the scene

there have been talks of a smoke ban here, but luckily nothing materialised. i imagine it would be a huge blow for clubs and bars. i mean, without exaggeration, go to any night and the vast majority of people there smoke
