Scarlett O'Hara

GTFO of my thread.

It depends. I think of stuff like Burial and Kode9 as dubstep, even though they're completely different to the kind of stuff that plays in clubs. I reckon plenty of it could still be good, as long as they don't let it devolve into a boring mess of Same Song Different Samples like DnB.

It's basically today's big beat. I like how it's starting to go mainstream though, that means more of my friends will start liking it, that way I can brag about how I was into dubstep before dubstep was considered cool. =P Plus, even the "brostep" stuff is fun as hell to listen to high so I approve of it. Yet again, I ain't an indie hipster dude so what do I know? =P

I had my ex girlfriend listen to dubstep before, and she said she hated it, yet again, her music taste consisted of mainly screamo/pop punk bands and top 40 girly pop. haha XP

My cousin Michael's best friend is a well-known dubstep DJ. Because I'm not a total douche, I won't mention his DJ name, but on August 5, 2011, he expressed concern about the very same thing this thread is mentioning.

He was predominately concerned with the lack of an impression each given DJ would make by pushing the envelope, as it were, and I sympathized with him until I choked on glass and wound up in the ER with esophageal hemorrhaging.

But he made a good point. Granted, I'm not entirely sure how it will all play out, but when something becomes mainstream, the others are typically overlooked.

I don't think that Dubstep going mainstream will ruin it.

If you are a true fan of the music and producers then you won't care. Sure the scene might get a bit more crowded, but that happens with every genre of music.

Then there will always be awesome websites that will promote the good **** that will come out of it! (like dubstep.net, squitty, obzest.co.uk, and so many more!)

so sit back and enjoy the ride, and enjoy the music for what it is

Like every genre that has a little success, there will inevitably be a whole glut of music that barges it's way into the mainstream that bears little relation to the original ethos of the genre. However it was a genre that you had to dig around a bit before to find good stuff so that hasn't really changed except you have more crap to filter through.

Funnily enough Dubstep as a genre has been slowly fading out for the hardcore fans. Typical of the mainstream to get to the genre a year later and find that the best stuff has already been done although Nero and Skrillex are doing some interesting stuff still.

I'm listening to Nero's new album right now and I am not digging it all. It feels...incomplete or something

Well, if it was ever a question about whether dubstep has gotten mainstream yet, this should answer it:

Dear Lord I just died a little inside.
