There really aren't all that many electronic subgenres. Well, legitimate ones anyway. If you wanted to go and count up all the bullshit blog tags we'll be here for days

How is blackened death a genre? I mean granted I know fuck all when it comes to that kind of stuff, but isn't it just death metal at the end of the day. Black metal influences sure, but still falling under death metal

Two posts taken from the "why do you hate Skrillex so much" thread on dubstepforum.com that I felt like sharing:

you have people who have poured gallons of blood, sweat, and tears into this scene since before skream ever made his first tune, when the music was pure, the scene was small and close knit. although i don't have as much experience as a lot of people, i'm very protective of what i think dubstep is and what it should/could be and i can only imagine what a lot of londoners have invested (monetarily and emotionally) in this music.

when i got into dubstep, it was all about atmosphere, minimalism, and meditation. ask anyone on the street what "dubstep" is now and they tell you it's all aggro wobble filth noise from a bunch of ras trents. it really makes me sick, sick to the point i don't use the term "dubstep" in context of the current popular form, or at all because people assume i love borgore.

when i started posting on this forum, the big names posted. some still do, but not to the point i used to see. i'm sure it's because all these diaper wearing amateurs just make them slap their foreheads. the disrespect and ignorance is amazing.

variety? sure. watering down the first original scene i was able to be a part of since its inception? fuck no.

rant over. if you still don't get it, go through tempa's back catalog and tell me it in any way resembles what a lot of people claim their "dubstep" to be.



But to be honest since Datsik and Boregore and all that crap, those of us that have been around forever are all of a sudden being told that what we do isn't dubstep lol. I don't know. I have a feeling we haven't seen the worst this genre can bring us. It is going to be real tough to grin and bare.
