I like slow bassy dubstep...

And I swear to God - I know you can't judge a book by its cover but, where dubstep is concerned, it's safe to say that the more minimal the YouTube picture, the less ridiculous the sound.

Ridiculous is good when it comes to dubstep, Some of it is genius, and i can replay the song 20 times and not get bored of it, because people cram in 5 different genres. Most of it is shit, But most of any genre is shit, the cream @ the top of the cup is always a very thin layer.

Depends on how you break it down. Most of dubstep is shit, but if you look closely, most atmospheric dubstep is very listenable, where as 99% of brostep is awful.

+1 Brostep is shaping the world sadly. That and unicorn PLUR pop-trance... but that's entirely a different story

EVERYONE knows about brostep, most of my friends who have never really listened to any sort of electronic music know about a lot of brostep artists.

So, this is just a theory of mine, but I figure this is probably the most appropriate thread to bring it up in. The popularity of the loud, bombastic wobble-step (here in the states) is most likely due to the explosion of loud and grating "screamo" and hardcore rock that occurred throughout the early 00's and onward into the last decade. A lot of people who I knew in high school who were into that type of stuff when it was at it's peak of popularity have since moved onto dubstep. In their words "it's like hardcore but electronic, bro".

They connect with that loud, harsh sound since it relates very well with the screamy loud rock they liked when they were younger. Hell, Skrillex was the lead singer of this band:

So in the US, it seems as though there's a whole generation of people who were primed for that type of music, and they've kind of taken it to a whole new level from there. Personally, I am not a fan at all.

/drunkpost. I'm waiting for Jack to come and absolutely waste me.

No, that's an interesting theory. And no offense to Jack, but I doubt he knows as much about the music-listening habits of people your age in the United States.

But anyway, I still blame you Americans. You popularized this and cheesy unicorn trance.

The friendfs of mine from high school who listen to brostep and shit are the people who listened to like "hipster" music in igh school and who think they're really special and unique and have found this great "underground" music. I don't think they listened to hardcore sceramy shit. They just think it's good underground shit.

God I hate them.
