"I don't know what the hell a "dubstep" is..."

Is that tag for Subby? Because he/she obviously also doesn't know what a search engine is either.

Honestly, Why do people think it's smart, funny or witty to advertise their own ignorance?

Five Tails of Fury: Will that make everyone who listens to "real" dubstep hipsters when the junky stuff turns mainstream?

In USA everyone is hipster anyway, and on the other side hipsters can't exist

Tradskinzd: Dubstep = techno
That's all that most farkers need to know.

Ahh, no. No it's not.

I like techno and electronica in general quite a bit.

I was way into Lords of Acid, Daft Punk, Chemical Brothers and The Crystal Method back in the late 90's, and still have Daft Punk album Alive along with the Tron Legacy soundtrack in my car. I love Deadmau5 and Glitch Mob, Wolfgang Gartner and Shanghai Restoration Project.

AND I CAN'T FARKING STAND DUBSTEP.

It's seriously crap. It's the anti-rhythm, the unholy marriage of computerized metronomes and whacked-out compostion. I wish it would die a quick and loud death, preferably in a 4-on-the-floor 160bpm pattern. Yes I know Deadmau5 does some dubstep, but only 4x4=12 and only the last 2 songs, so I can safely skip those and enjoy the rest of that kick-ass album every day just fine.

I didn't think it would be possible for Bieber to suck worse, but going into dubstep might just do it.

ProfessorOhki and probessport, thank you, you got 'em up early.

tehbeermang: GreenSun: UGH dubstep music sounds so depressing, it's like the world just got blasted by a handful of atomic bombs and millions of people died. Dubstep is suicide music, even if you're a normally happy person.

You're apparently not listening to this. (new window)

I fail to see how that sounds really any different than the rest of dubstep.

This is a continuation on the "I don't know what a Justin Bieber is" meme from fark about a year and a half ago

I lost faith in humanity recently (for the umpteenth time) when I couldn't convince some stupid coont friend of mine that Skrillex was garbage by showing him Skream tracks.
The day Midnight Request Line gets laughed at because "it just doesn't amp you up" as much as a Skrillex track is the day I go in a killing rampage.
The high point for me was after, when he said "then I guess I just don't like dubstep" and I just nodded.

On the topic of Skrillex, had a major LOL moment when I heard his new track on the radio. For some reason I started to like it, only to reason later that it was just a Flux Pavilion track with vocoders in it.

It's Star Wars, it has structure, cohesion, and a great sound.


And it's dubstepp-y. It's not all bad. Just the vast and overwhelming majority of it is.

1. I was a raver in the 1990s (when it REALLY existed), and no, it didn't look like emo, Skrillex, or any of the stupid face-painted crap today. Rave looked like punk with more dayglo, less black, and a penchant for monochrome stripes or classic clothing. DJ KittyLitter wasn't goth, Ronna(the basketcase) from the move "Go" was raver.

2. That fat blob of goo in the photo is NOT TECHNO. Those are club kids. Please please please do not confuse club kids with ravers. They're nothing alike and they're a couple generations apart.

3. Ravers not exist today, nor has it since the early 1990s. What exists today is something else that is often mistaken for being rave by younger people who don't realize that techno was an era, not a fashion choice. It was a subculture based on creativity (and filled primarily with artists), and NOT something you could buy at the mall. If you wear it without making it or altering it yourself, it's not raver; It's mall-punk, at best. It's cheap-ass scenesters at worst. It's emo leftovers at Hot Topic at very worst.

4. I can believe Jen Aniston was a raver. She's an artistic person, and it would have been a natural fit for her.

5. Despite what halfof33 said, the Mod movement ended in the early 1970s, and it was primarily an English thing; Didn't happen much in America. Mod eventually blossomed into Glam.

I still don't see why music from 1999 is "the shiat". I enjoyed it then but moved past Metalheadz to squarepusher. Warbling 60-40Hz with stab sampling seems pretty old considering what is out there. I would prefer 8bit or bent/glitch to that any day of the week. To each their own and I guess most of the folks listening to it now were like 4 or 5 years old the first go-round lol. I still fire up my Kraftwelt and ATR like it is 1998 lol so I guess to each their own. Maybe this Beiber guy will make dubstep jump the shark if it hasn't already.

1. It's a Justin Bieber/Fark meme that you apparently missed. So you've sort've "advertised your own ignorance" on that mark.

2. I'm actually not sure what "dubstep" entails beyond awful techno bass, but I don't feel guilty for it.

Herp derp.

Can we just agree to strangle hipsters with their monster jam headphones and be done with it?

You're not looking very hard then. Old style raves are very much alive and kicking, and like back in the day you have to know where things are going down to be apart of it. Warehouse parties, private shows, etc. Most of these types are parties are filled with the same artistic types that go to burning man. Burners are, essentially, the ravers of today. The artistic types you speak of.

http://estheticevolution.com/

Things like that are still all about art, creativity, and everything that defined the "rave" culture of the early 90s. The music has changed, but many aspects remain the same.

Other than that, I agree with you. What most people consider "ravers" in this day and age are not that at all. They're emo club kids jumping on the skrillex band wagon. You try to talk to them about proper house music, or take them to a real rave, and their eyes would gloss over before you could get a drink in them.

Cyno01: So.... if im understanding it right... dubstep is supposed to sound like some 14 year old just discovered the pitch bend wheel?

/i feel old
//im only 25!

Welcome to the club.

/now I feel old again.
//People born in _{(before this date)} 1991 can legally buy alcohol
///People born in _{(before this date)} 1996 cal legally drive now
////Oh NOES.

I like taking lots of hetty mahlz and wub wubbing all over the dance floors with sweaty hetty brahs. The SSRBs can be annoying, but like I said, I go to dub step after parties for the hetty brahs!

This could form a black hole of suck.

I checked it out but I still saw visions of malnourished people dying, cities burning, and a burning red sky as I listened to it. I dunno, it just sounds like something from a post apocalyptic setting. This is the only music style that actually made me have visions at all. Maybe it's effective for that purpose.

FARK!!!

I could understand that reaction to early Skream tracks. But DZ's "Down" sounds like the second cup of coffee to me. It brightens my day.

I have no idea what a dubstep is but I'm old enough to know that it sucks

That is exactly what its supposed to sound like. I had the same visions when listening to some tracks. For example this Skream track..

This track is also a masterpiece

Skream is a pioneer in dubstep, producing some of the best sounds ever. Morning Blues is my favourite. But I also love Summer Dreams, Emotionally Mute, and Colourful

I like electronic music, but dubstep is just a recording of clowns being raped by power tools.

/raped by power tools
//rape rape.

Deadmau5 was pure musical happy. Especially I Remember (Link (new window)) and Move for Me (Link (new window)).

Anything since then by him is meh.

No actually you`re just old. And lame.

Also no one likes you because you smell.

Music is evolving. You can join the anti-dubstep chorus but most of them wouldn't even be able to tell dubstep from the house/trance you listen to, and would likely thing you are just as retarded for listing to "Oonce Oonce Oonce Oonce Oonce Oonce Oonce Oonce Oonce Oonce" for hours and hours on end. Most will just go back listening to the radio or some poppy Rhianna crap they thought they were edging for buying $2.99 on itunes.

I thought dubstep was crappy at first. But then kind of jumped on it since it's different from all the pop/hip hop commercial garbage that hasn't changed a bit since 1998. Pretty much anything that's not Top40 I will give some credence too. However, if you listen anything on the Top40 chart you immediately become an artless aesthetically challenged and prone to advertising drone in my point of view. I mean really, beyond all differences of opinion, it just sucks.

"Oonce Oonce Oonce Oonce Oonce Oonce Oonce Oonce Oonce Oonce"

I didn't know what dubstep really was so took the Youtube tour suggested here. Holy crap that's some boring shiat.

Alright, so lets hear some music you like.

When Bieber can do the dubstep dance like this guy (new window) [Freakin awesome, once it gets going], I'll have some respect for him.

Seraphym

Daft Punk = stole everything, none of their songs are original. They didn`t bother to change anything in the original songs.

Also Deadmau5 is just plain crap.

I'm turning 25 next week and I have no idea what the FARK dubstep is. Other than a fancy way of saying techno.
