a good friend of mine is a dj, who is the one who introduced me to dubstep almost over a year ago. right now he is also introducing the whole city to dubstep. it is awesome.

but you do need a massive sub + really good speakers to really 'listen' to the dubstep. you need to feel the bass vibrating every cell in your body, or else it just isn't the same...

ill reserve judgement until i hear it in a club because with electronic music you definitely dont get the full experience at home. but i really dont think ill like it

mafoo gabber is faster and generally harder. hardstyle is a sort of blend of gabber and hard trance. both awesome

imo people need to stop over-genre categorization. its annoying, and takes away from the process of true music exploration.

instead of finding random new bands through different channels, people can just but a sub-sub-sub-sub genre and download everything there that is all the same.

i agree with this. im sure there are some definite differences in STRUCTURE between genres, but its definitely getting dificult to tell where one type of music and its near cousin sub genre end and begin.

^yes .... especially with techno/electronic music in general. I can see how its a fad scene thing but whenever im at festivals some music im into and others not so much. Happy hardcore=no - jungle and dubstep=yes psytrance=sometimes ... i gotta be feelin it

i think if one was to open their mind, they would be open to like some stuff from any genre, instead of ruling out specific genres, claiming they will like nothing in that sub-sub-sub-sub genre.

imo. its all electronic music (most of the composition made on a computer, drum machines, etc). there are no sub genres to me, cause when you think about it, every band would technically have its own sub genre if they were infact genuinely different from any other band

i think that's the beautiful thing about music these days - all of it is 'genre' defining.

some generalization is needed though - how else would be be able to converse about all these artists / share ideas about music (take this thread for example). moreso when conversing with people who are unfamiliar with whatever type of music you are trying to talk about.

electronic music is somehow becoming more 'organic' - with the inclusion of live instrumentation and imperfect beats/rythms. one example being Komodo who plays digeridoo live over sequenced dub step beats. he also employs a friend who absolutely rocks the wind flute

idunno, alot of the artists/bands nowadays cover a wide diversity of 'classifications' in their own sound. but really most of them have more of a structure/foundation based around one or two 'categorys' of music, then branch out from there, but still stay true to those 'structural genres.'

man, i even hate that word 'genre.' doesnt feel good off the tongue at all to me....

but yeah, if im conversing with my friends, whose musical tastes i am well aware of, the best way to describe music would be to name similar artists/musicians/whatever.

i'm baked.

but it pleases me a great deal that there is a dub-step thread on yahooka no posted by myself....

music shouldnt be anything but organic

What i like about electronic music in general is that it seems (i think im right about this but not sure) ... it seems that when the dj is doing their set live for the audience that anything could come next. Its whatever the energy and the vibe is at that moment, they could switch it up and drop a sick bass line or speed it up or w/e really. you kinda have to live in the moment when experiencing a sick dj set in person. i donno thats kinda how i feel, hope that came across right

another downside of over-categorization.


gives the bands rules and procedures to follow to become a part of a scene.

there needs to be more true creativity. step up to whatever instrument is closest to your hand and just jam don't worry about what you sound like.

imo creativity is so hard to find when you start getting into all of these genre fads/scenes

I dont think bands have to follow rules or any set guidelines to be into a scene. I think when they first initially pick up the instruments they play what they like and enjoy listening to. If what they like happens to fall into a genre then great if not then thats great too. Once they get better they get more creative and experiment but i think they always seem to stick to a "genre" for a reason, not because of rules, but because theres something about that in which they like.

but i donno... its too early, im not trying to argue with you at all. this is just how i see it. I do agree with you there are a shitload of scenes/fads with music these days, and it sux

I think the big speaker issue on dubstep is truth.
I hate it when I play it on the computer, but I can get down to it at a venue. Like when they're piping it in while the crew sets up - Love it!

well in theory you are correct, but sadly there are too many money/popularity starving 'artists' who find it to be the easy way out to just stick to a scene.

especially when all aperson creates is dubstep. like my coworker who played on dubstep.fm, all he ever did and talked about was dubstep. thats conforming to rules so you can be a part of a scene, instead of just playing whatever comes to mind that very second.
