its the same thing which happened with Jungle, Drum and Bass, Garage.. after about 6 years or underground, it crossed over and now we have Brostep..
I didnt get dubstep for a long time, then I heard Benga and Skream play at set at Maria here in Berlin, and after that, it made more sense.
Its all about the sub.
As for Skrillex.. he has already said he is over it and moving towards techno.. so.. good luck turning that mainstream..

Dubstep didn't die, it just hung around long enough to be given a name, whence it was appropriated into something more commercial, but you can say that about pretty much every semi-popular musical sub-genre at some point.
- what are you talking about, dubstep as a genre has been around for at least 10 years..autoflavour
- dubstep evolved from Grime, Grime evolved from twostep/garage..autoflavour
- its very linear.autoflavour
- I'm saying that just because an aspect of a genre gets subsumed by the mainstream, doesn't mean it ceases to existFax_Benson
- of course not, hell, there are still regular two step and drum and bass nights.. but they arent mainsteam no moreautoflavour

When are people going to realise that dubstep is just drum and bass played a 50% speed.
And yeah, it's fucking shit.

I love this:
James Blake vents about dubstep's "pissing competition"
http://www.inthemix.com.au/news/…
Just last week, incoming Stereosonic star Datsik mused to inthemix about the new generation of US producers who are taking dubstep on a divergent path from its UK origins.“When you talk to people from the UK, they say Canada and the US are all about noisy dubstep,” he said. “But I think that the only reason it’s like that is because Canada and the US haven’t really experienced good, deep dubstep on a big system. It was never introduced like that. So it’s really hard to get some of these big UK producers who started the genre over to the US, because kids have never heard of them.”
One Englishman who espouses that opinion of Stateside dubstep is DJ and crooner James Blake, whose sets plumb a moodier kind of bass music. In a recent interview with The Boston Phoenix, the usually reserved Blake seemed disturbed by the appetite in the States for big, brash, brostepping sounds.
“I think the dubstep that has come over to the US, and certain producers – who I can’t even be bothered naming – have definitely hit upon a sort of frat-boy market where there’s this macho-ism being reflected in the sounds and the way the music makes you feel,” Blake said.
“And to me, that is a million miles away from where dubstep started. It’s a million miles away from the ethos of it. It’s been influenced so much by electro and rave, into who can make the dirtiest, filthiest bass sound, almost like a pissing competition, and that’s not really necessary.
In Blake’s opinion, if you’re making frat-step, you’re only going to attract frat-boys. “I just think that largely that is not going to appeal to women. I find that whole side of things to be pretty frustrating, because that is a direct misrepresentation of the sound as far as I’m concerned.”
Is he taking the words out of your mouth, or are you siding with Skrillex and co. on this one? We just hope the guy isn’t including this masterful remix from Benny Benassi in his critique. You can read more about Benny’s finest hour in our ‘The worst dubstep remixes ever’ feature.

I'm "friends" with a guy I went to high school with on Facebook, who constantly posts this kind of shitty music. He's also one of those people who wears nothing but those aggressive looking Affliction t-shirts, and posts pictures of him and his friends posing in high-end luxury cars they don't own and never will own. Three strikes bro, you're off my list.

This is why I listen to black metal. You can't sell shit in corpse paint.
