It seems to have more or less run its course in London, but suddenly the music blogging hordes, having taken what they wanted from house and electro, show up to the party 5 years late.

Plus, if you’re only use to 4 on the floor, it’s hard to dance to (especially if you’ve beend rinking, as opposed to belonging to a more dubstep appropriate drug culture).

To be honest, I’m weirded out by it gaining any real traction in North America in the first place, at least outside of the little dnb/ragga/dub/post-ravey “underground” scenes, but I suppose every couple of years someone will try to market something in the 2-step/garage/grime/whatever continuum internationally (hey, remember Lady Sovereign? Daniel Bedingfield? Craig David?).

This post was mentioned on Twitter by Winnie Cooper: What’s up with people hating on dubstep? http://ow.ly/FX1m...

IMHO if you’re a real lover of music then you will generally find at least something you like in most genres and will continue to do so as time goes on and music changes. If you only like “bangers” then you’ll probably be listening to “bangers” for the rest of your days – Who are the losers here?

Intelligent jungle anyone?

on a related note, remember drum and bass?

I love dubstep, fucking adore it. But there is an absolute torrent of shit being released. And a new breed of dayglo skinny jean kanye glasses wearing neeks at raves that I want to slap…”Yeah rusko’s well sick inneee”

don’t misinterpret what i mean though… music is not headed in that direction but there is definitely an influence that is obvious. i’m not sitting in a dark dungeon listening intently to dubstep, but i’m appreciating that there is a shift in what has otherwise been a stale music landscape.

i don’t care what your opinion is, just have an informed opinion.
