It's still better than 98% of his other songs or so

Album Rating: 4.0

still pretty boring



actually, I think I prefer his big singles. At least bangarang, first of the year and scary monsters

were fun and in their field they were the best there were. I just don't see the point of this.



Not sure what to think about it overall

"The entire comments section of that video is filled with some of the most rage-inducing stuff."
The current top comments are pretty fitting though and although I have no clue who the fuck DFRNT is that quote there is pretty acurate.

"it's more of a 'thank you Skrillex for exposing future garage to a broader audience'

imo"
except that he won't as you can read from a lot of the comments made on that video. Also, people can't party to this so eh.

he's taken a glance and the response to Burial's music and thought, "hey, i could do that". what a

silly man



"Also, people can't party to this so eh"



i bet people will try.

I really hate the idea that some of his fans will think he's come up with a really unique idea and has

innovated the sound or some shit.



And DFRNT is a producer who's made some awesome dubstep (among other stuff):

are future garage and chillstep actual things or are they just terms people use to describe dubstep when trying to look clever

"are future garage and chillstep actual things or are they just terms people use to describe dubstep when trying to look clever"
Asked myself the same thing.

"I really hate the idea that some of his fans will think he's come up with a really unique idea and has

The moment people are gonna tell me this I'm going to start printing out evidence that that is wrong.

"And DFRNT is a producer who's made some awesome dubstep (among other stuff):"
Sweet song. Thanks.

From what I understand Future Garage covers the UK dubstep scene

it's basically the correct term for what people used to call 'post-dubstep' (fuck pitchfork)

Don't shoot me if I'm wrong though

I've tried explaining dubstep and electro to my friends but they pretty much just stare at me blankly and go on to ignore me. And they said "hey listen to Nero, they're dubstep".



Even at that level it's impossible

Both terms especially FG have been adopted by a lot of people who aren't necessarily trying to look clever, but just actually think those are different things. FG has been adopted pretty heavily actually, but it's usually just forward-thinking dubstep. It's usually the more layered atmospheric stuff (burial, clubroot, swarms, etc.) that leans a bit more to the garage side.



But yeah it's all still dubstep, except people tend to label some plain old modern garage with that tag too. Basically it all can be either considered dubstep or garage, but the second someone starts to change up the percussion in the dubstep track and add some layered atmosphere like burial, people will start telling you it's future-garage which is just stupid.

So TM, is Skrillex's track future garage or not?

And no I would say future garage and post-dubstep are both equally wrong.



It's just an expanded dubstep sound, some progression/evolution of the genre. Calling it something different from dubstep makes dubstep a genre that has to sound like it was made in 2006. There's no reason why it has to become something new when people experiment a bit within the genre, because most of it is still rooted in all the same concepts.

It's not like I necessarily care for genre tags but the influx of people rambling on about somewhat "random" genres is beyond me. Especially based on something like that. I mean what'd they call the new Mala? Worldstep? Oh boy, hopefully no dimwit ever reads this post and picks up that term.

Some people would certainly call it that, but it's dubstep.

I just like the term 'future garage'

It has a nice ring to it

That's pretty much what I thought.



I've never fully understood the dub part in dubstep though.

I don't wanna know what some people would call Two Fingers or recent Amon Tobin work.

"I've never fully understood the dub part in dubstep though."
Because it has to do with dub as in reggae from what I gathered, I'm not entirely sure of the exact correlation but I read it once.

Yeah I definitely like it more than post-dubstep, and I'm not ENTIRELY opposed to its use simply because it gives a better idea of what the stuff sounds like. But I think if it's going to be used at all it should be acknowledged as a sub-genre or style of dubstep, not something entirely different (still a dumb name though).



I really don't like when people claim something is future-garage and NOT dubstep though (most notably when they're correcting someone's use of the dubstep term). I think some of it is an attempt to distance the style from the use of a term now widely associated with brostep, but doing that just makes it even more difficult to say you like dubstep without people mis-interpretting what you mean. I think most of it just comes from people not knowing though.

This so much, for every genre. Blackgaze and similar terms make me cringe.

Although I have to admit as for describing stuff like the majority of what Tobin does I'd not be entirely sure anyway, although what some people could come up with for this might be even more horrible.
