I've never in my life dismissed an entire genre of music, but I'm not into the extreme contrast of sawtooth wobble-wobble on both the low and high end freqs. It just doesn't leave enough room to catch your breath.
I've heard a few decent dreamstep tracks...but they are far and few between. It's a genre I simply don't understand very well.
I like some of it. It's kind of like reggaetron reborn. Every so often something new that the kids like comes along and shakes up the scene but eventually the more traditional stuff takes back over. Ive been listening to dance, club, house, techno, electro, trance, etc etc for just over 20 years now and it's just another phase. I try not to automatically be against the NEW thing like old schoolers typically are (not saying you are) so I can give it a fair shake but yes half of it sounds decent menand half sounds like noise. Cool thread. Some of the posted videos are taking me back.
I can relate. I heard some decent dubstep back like 10yrs ago when it was sorta gaining popularity (not like the "popular" style of today ) and some of it was pretty smooth.
I was thinking the same thing. An online club? What the hell happened to REAL CLUBS with REAL PEOPLE dancing FOR REAL to...I have to say it, REAL MUSIC?!

EXACTLY! I remember when that raggaetron crap was popular for about a year...then everyone realized it was THE SAME DAMN BEAT OVER AND OVER AGAIN ON EACH SONG. Hopefully dubstep will go the same way.
I do hope that trance stays around. Already I have dumb 19 year olds telling me I'm "stuck in the past" because I like trance. Sorry, but I can't help but smile and break my neck trying to do some capoeria (or a bad imitation there of) when I hear this:
It's prolly age since music is emotional, with bits of everything you grew up with (comics, video game music, anime, school shootings, murders on tv, hormonal love[lust] etc) plus my gen hangout in online clubs with real djs etc.
some dub i'm listenin to now with friends in an online club with about 300 people.
most of these have been voted on by at least a third of them (300 people) in the positive and some have gotten love votes with no meh votes.
I think the last too may pass as dubstep today, while the first one would be said to be "not filthy enough"
I think this whole dubstep thing is people wanting "noisy" as in sampled music, while not having the darkness of industrial.
Want dark? Want "filthy"? This hispter crap isn't it. For that, we have to take it back to the early 90s...and the stuff, while dark and noisy, still had something dubstep lacks, i.e, A BEAT YOU CAN DANCE TO!
I can't stand it. Unfortunately, I occaisionally hear it for 30 minutes to an hour when I visit a friend, and unfortunately he has a powerful stereo.
I'm not young anymore, but I know for a fact that I would have recognized it for the sh*t that it is if it had been around when I was young.
haha yes, exactly.
I am 41. My kids are 20, 15, and 10.
The older two generally share music with me and vice versa (the 10 year old listens to whatever we put on her MP3 player and once her radio broke, and the Disney Radio was no more, it's been great). We have very similar tastes and when their tastes vary greatly from mine, it's still stuff I can respect and understand why they like it, even if I don't love it myself.
That is, until the 15 year old started liking dubstep. Or claiming to like it since he really doesn't listen to it that much. I think he is just trying to tick me off.
My older son used to jokingly tell me that I'd given him nothing to rebel against because I wasn't like most of his friends' parents and we liked a lot of the same stuff musically and I've been a fairly laid back sort of mom. Maybe this is my 15 year old's struggle to find some way to rebel?

Yeah, I'm accustomed to dancing & socializing in the flesh...lol.
I guess if that other poster here is still in HS or under 18, then online clubs are probably the safe way to go.
