it certainly is a deviation from what a lot of the core following consider to be real 'dubstep', i.e. the burial's of the world vs the skrillex's. bit of a change...from restraint, soulful and dark textures, to self serving, obnoxious and overflowing basslines... i reckon this form of complex and thoughtful dubstep has a place in the future

In all honesty, I think dubstep will continue to turn people onto a harder sound, and will get more people interested in that kind of stuff - for better or worse.
Electro and fidget were what drove people to that sound in sydney. Dubstep just picked up where they left of as music for s to head bash to.
Of course, its not actually dubstep but brostep, which is a different bag really.

Sorry, my bad.
And I'm just speaking from personal experience here; I know a lot more people who are into Skrillex and the like than Wolfgang Gartner.

Skrillex is an incredibly long way away from dubstep. Its like saying that Benny Bennasi is trance. Mind you I'm not keen on any of that stuff so I don't expect anyone to know about it on here. There is some good dubstep though, and I think people on here just associate the word with absolute rubbish.
Most dubstep is actually really good, its just that there's a few examples of really bad stuff that gives people the wrong impression. And now it's taken off in a commercial sense it makes things even worse.
This is dubby dubstep
This is more "brostep" oriented dubstep
This is good harder dubstep
This is UK garage
This is complextro/some that's the bastard child of brostep and electro.
Now can everyone on this damn forum get the genres right now please:whip:

If you think that all those tracks I just posted were then I pity your taste in music. Sure, a few of them were, but some were absolutely awesome. Floating points? Awesome.
Skrillex says he's dubstep because it makes economic sense to identify with that scene. Its like Deadmau5 said he was electro right after Faxing Berlin. Nothing electro about that track. Don't be ignorant about a whole genre of music just because you've only listened to the mainstream side of it.

i just cant stand dubstep beats and fart-bass/fx anymore. it might sound nice to some but give it a year and youll feel the same. its SO INCREDIBLY overused. it was interesting the first time i heard it but its just like the minimal wave; a hipster trend.

You've just lost any respect I might have had for you by playing the genre-naming game :p

seriously. unfortunately the scenesters that are currently into brostep/drumstep/dubstep/whateverstep/stepwobbledrumorsomething go thru genres like they go thru a pair of converse shoes. every 3 mos they've moved on and took a genre for all it's worth.
back to the original topic, the scene in the states is the BEST it's ever been. I've been DJing here since 05 and i can tell you this is the strongest, most open minded i've ever seen it and i'm so so so so thankful. Just in san diego alone THIS week, we had 3 drum & bass/dubstep shows (zedd, chase & status and another), 5 house nights (sharam, starkillers, etc), 3 trance nights (gareth emery, paul oakenfold, aly & fila) and a bunch of other smaller house nights.
These amount of acts 4 or 5 years ago would have been spread out over 3-4 mos, not 3-4 days. It's exciting because regardless of whatever music you're making or your into there's a scene for it right now. Makes me smile :)

Dubstep seems to be the latest of dance genre explosions, where does it go from here?
I personally think that reliance on big drums in dance music will slowly diminish as average human ear will get tired of over compression and loudness. Maybe i'm naive but like to think of a new reiteration of classical music in some form.
im sorry but i think dubstep is one of the worst Genres of music since speedcore. if thats even a genre
