The quotes from dubstepforum do

Album Rating: 3.0 | Sound Off

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.



that's a great post

The worst thing from my viewpoint is just how overshadowed true Dubstep is by brostep. I have no problem with that style of music existing as its own thing, but it's damaging to an incredible scene.

But most elitists seem to blame Skrillex for that. It's not Skrillex's fault that he is considered by the general public to be the defining star of "dubstep". People are just really dumb and idolize him and only listen to him instead of exploring the entire dubstep genre. I, for one, like Skrillex, but I also like Burial, Noisia, James Blake and Broken Note.

these guys seem pretty upset over an ideal that only exists in their own minds

Well they treat the scene as a religion, so yeah....

why is it called brostep if bros don't listen to it?

Because bro's listen to it

And jockstep doesn't have the same ring to it

bro music is like Dave Matthew's, Jack Johnson but manly pop-country singles

i still like to browub sometimes

My problem is he seems to be thought of as some god of electronic music (by mainstream public) but his stuff all sounds the same. . plus he hasn't actually put out much

Dude bros listen the shit out of skrillex. Trust me, bros are all over my campus and I hear some skrillex track blaring out of car speakers alone at least every other day. Also:

Are we talking about elitists or tr00 dubstep fans in general? Because yeah, the elitists might. But that's taking the douchey side of the fanbase. I'd say most dubstep fans are smart enough to realize it's not necessarily skrillex's fault. I've said it many times before, I don't hate Skrillex, but I hate almost everything that has to do with him.



"People are just really dumb and idolize him and only listen to him instead of exploring the entire dubstep genre"



THAT is exactly what I (we) hate.

I listen to pre brostep
