This thing called dubstep may be getting out of hand...

[Pete for President]

I dig the violins. I dig the samples. I dig bombastic classical pieces. But Muse, why oh why did you get the dubstep virus?

[Rocket Edge]

I have never liked any dub-step song. I'm all for a tune having good bass or good house music, but the genre just sounds silly & annoying. I'm sure from Muse's point of view they wanted to try something different & not be labelled a one-genre band - which I'm all for, but bottom line; I think the song is crap. Bad music is bad music at the end of the day.

[Sephex]

Can't listen to the link right now because I am at work. Dubstep has reached the point where almost every song is unintentional self parody with how the breakdowns overdo the WUB WUB and other distortion type sounds.

[Cuchulainn]

Loved dubstep when it first came out...it's absolute trash now. That idiot Skrillex is the worst thing to happen to music since Yoko Uno

[Jessweeee♪]

There are a few dubstep songs I can enjoy, but I'm not especially fond of the genre as a whole. It's okay I guess.

[Cuchulainn]

Americans ruined it.

[Jinx]

Whenever I put on dubstep, I instantly feel dirty, and have an overwhelming desire to take a scalding hot shower.

what on earth happened there -rantz

[escobert]

We ruin everything
dubstep sucks. I hate going to festivals and hearing dubstep at 5 am while I'm trying to stop tripping/sleep.

[Agent Proto]

My brother loves this kind of crap. I don't see what's so appealing about it. I can tolerate it since it's not really terrible.

[Peegee]

Dubstep is terrible. However it's so prevalent I actually have ONE song with dubstep after the drop. Ridiculous.

However whenever I complain about dubstep my friend joe will just play Gabba / Gabber

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabber

after 0.1 seconds I cry and say 'I'm sorry just play dubstep'

it's that bad.

[Clo]

I like dubstep. But I also like getting drunk and baked and dancing at bars where dubstep DJs are playing. So my opinion might not be the best.

[NorthernChaosGod]

I don't care what any of you say, but I love dubstep now and I love Skrillex too.

[Pete for President]

I'm surprised about the subtle amount of comments about Muse. Maybe they've attained such a weird image no-one's surprised about anything they do anymore.

[Bunny]

What the fuck.

[Laddy]

Dubstep is awful. That is all.

[Psychotic]

I dislike the word "dubstep" and thus the genre by default. If it was called floppy fish or banana butt I would probably be less hateful towards it.

[Old Manus]

People on the internet loved dubstep until it became cool.

I just don't like people mistaking dub for it

[Goldenboko]

That's why you record your roommates and secretly make a dubstep of their quotes :jess:

[fire_of_avalon]

this is just a bad song. Had potential. I like the idea of a concept album based on the second law of thermodynamics.

[Quindiana Jones]

I love the pop remixes. DubSteps is my favourite.

#Love's got a hold on my heart womp womp#

[The Man]

I still don't have more than a vague idea what dubstep is, and I'm not really curious enough to put the effort into finding out.

[krissy]

oh hey look the muse guys found out about zeitgeist the movie and skrillex in the same week

i really hope that's the only song on the cd that is doing this robot screetching

the last one was good but mostly for that orchestral set at the end of the album
they should really just do some compositions and not do this trendy rock stuff anymore

[Tigmafuzz]

I do enjoy some dubstep, as I've always enjoyed chiptunes, keygenmusic, 8-bit techno remizes of songs, etc. but there is a lot of titty stupid dubstep out there. Some people seem to think random noises thrown about in their music with a loud bass track in the background makes things "music." It's like a high school garage band where the lead guitarist and the rhythm guitarist can't agree on whether they should play neo-punk or black metal except none of them have ever even heard of nonetheless studied music theory.

Americans ruined it.

You're like a parody of a parody. One day, for my own amusement, I'm going to dig back through the history list and figure out what percentage of your comments don't boil down to "I have an unnatural hatred of America."


I don't mind dubstep. It's dumb music, yeah, but dumb music has it's place. It's the type of crap you blast in the gym to drown out the inexplicable pop radio that usually gets pumped through the weight room.

Skrillex is exceedingly crap though.

You should do that I'm sure we'd all enjoy that little titbit of information, followed by your usual WALL of text as you still have not worked out how to summarise.

*snip* - Keep it clean. MILF.

[Quindiana Jones]

I would've gone with "There's no such thing as an unnatural hatred of America", personally.


Some not-complete-tit dubstep (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDw5NJrgufg)

See, if you take out that fucking "loose arse flapping through jets of diarrhoea" sound, that's a great little track. Not something that I would listen to for the fun of it, but something I'd enjoy hearing on a night out or would have on whilst working out. It's the stupid little noises of indigestion that ruin what might've been good beats. :(

Yup.

Although I do like dubstep, you know what's better? Sampledelia.

I'm going to kidnap all of you and tie you up in the back of my car to force you to listen to hours of dubstep.

[Shorty]

Dubsted sounds like club music to me. I do not like clubs.

aw man how did that typo get in there

I would go to clubs all the time if they actually played dubstep.

This sounds like robots smurfing. I like Muse, but...

[Mirage]

That attachment seems pretty nonfunctional :(

I didn't mind the track. It was kinda short though.

[Loony BoB]

I don't mind some dubstep. It's definitely a hit or miss kind of thing... I don't know what the songs linked are like as I'm at work, but I know that I like the dubstep version of Pumped Up Kicks.

[ReloadPsi]

>Take every song in existence.
>Stretch/compress them to all be the same tempo and have the same annoying noises mixed in.
>NEW GENRE OF MUSIC

smurf dubstep.

Okay, I'll buckle and admit that there are a few dubstep tracks that are original and interesting, but for the most part I hate dubstep because almost all of it is that annoying "wob" noise on turbo fire. It's another of those genres of music that is perfect for annoying the neighbours, and I despise music that is too accidentally capable of that.

[NorthernChaosGod]

You just don't like fun. I'm going to spike your drink with ecstasy and force you to have fun.

I've taken ecstasy. It wasn't fun.

Fun sucker.

[Jiro]

I like dubstep. A lot. I would not, at any stretch, say I know enough about it to be a connoisseur. I leave all the recommendations of good dubstep to Cuch because he knows far more about the genre than I do.

And I kind of liked the Muse song when I heard it the other night. And then they said it was Muse and I was like "but do we still get the old Muse music too?" and the answer is (probably) no and therefore I am sadface.

[sharkythesharkdogg]

I've always heard people go on out Muse, and I've never listened to them.

So I decided to listen to that new song, which uses some dubstep, and then go back to listen to their other stuff.

Y'know what? From my admittedly short romp through their songs I observed they have a broad range of sounds, have always incorporated different forms of electronica, and been pretty experimental.

So for those of you worried that this new song is their new sound, I doubt it. I like some dubstep, and I think they actually did a pretty decent job of making something that was different. I would be surprised if they stuck with it, though. A little here or there in some of there songs is a cool idea to me, though.

Also, cool dubstep/metalcore (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAO3RY1-FvI) experiment.

[fire_of_avalon]

I knew that would be The Browning.

[DMKA]

Can someone explain to me exactly what dubstep is? Like, what makes a song fall into the dubstep genre?

I've listened to a fair amount of stuff labeled dubstep, including the song linked in the first post of this thread and...it just sounds like obnoxious techno. I mean, is that all dubstep is? Why is it called dubstep? What sound is it that's separating it from other techno/house music?

Someone enlighten me please.

[NorthernChaosGod]

It's basically music that falls between 120 and 140 BPM, has a drop, and uses wobble bass. :p

We're musical soul mates. :aimkiss:

You know better than to Double Post - MILF

[Iceglow]

Stuff like Alex Clare is great this track by Muse, unsurprising and relatively well executed. Not enough unfettered guitar work even for a band as eclectic as Muse have grown to be.

[DMKA]

Ah okay, got it.

I had no idea there were subgenres of house/techno/dance music based on the sound effects used and beats per minute. :p
