I wonder how many people don't have to be high to like dubstep....

[Guy Incognito]

I'll be honest I've listened to it both high and not. It can be a bit too hectic if exposed to too much dubstep whilst under th'influence. For me anyway.

Think thats kind of a problem with it, is that there is a lot of similar stuff, not enough changes in mood or feel. But there is good stuff out there.

He inspired this website and I really like this White Panda mashup Foolish Monsters

He's all fucked up, he's OK.

Been skratching over "dubstep" and pre-cursor dubstep beats for over 10 years. I rarely listen to it outside of the context of scratching though.

if you don't like dubstep then you are doing it wrong. easily one of the most satisfying twists in dance music in the last few years.

[ScarySquirrel]

I'm down with dubstep, but I can see why it's not a lot of people's cup of tea.

When it's good, it's really good and when it sucks, it almost makes me want to hate the entire genre like most everyone else.

[Lex Diamonds]

It's one of those genres (like hip-hop) that started off underground where only people that loved the music made it, there was nothing to be gained financially by producing it, and as a result most of it was good.

It has now become one of those genres (like hip-hop) where the people making it have no knowledge of the essence or roots of the music and have diluted and/or twisted its perception and stylistic expression to an obnoxious degree in the pursuit of money. I can't even stand listening to it anymore, unfortunately, despite having some great memories of early dubstep raves in South London & Bristol.

Yup.

Dubstep isn't without its merits, its just that right now there are a bunch of people taking it in a number of different directions, some good and some not so good. Regardless, as had already been expressed, I think it's really important to avoid using phrases like "it's not music" and stuff like that. Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean that it doesn't bring a lot of joy to other people. As well, I'm sure that there are a lot of people that don't think hip hop, Beastie Boys or rap is music either. Obviously that's wrong, and it's offensive too.

Anyways... I think that the best producers in the game right now are Bassnectar, Downlink, Excision and Vaski among others. Bassnectar in particular, he's really trying as hard as he can to push the genre forward, and electronic music in general. Here are some links to some choice tunes, if you want to give it a go.

And for the love of God, don't let NO-FUCKIN'-BODY tell you what to like and what not to like. Your tastes are your own.

EDIT: OH FUCK!!! How could I forget this? If you've never heard of Bassnectar or never seen this video, watch it... some major Beasties love at the end!!!!

wow, dubstep is really easy to dance to (for men)

i found out about bassnectar from a song they used on breaking bad. i figured if breaking bad likes dubstep it must be good

it was this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdnBTJiUVDQ

[yeahwho]

Bassnectar music reminds me of music that should be incorporated into extremely fast scary amusement park rides.

His where is my mind pixies mix is incredible.

It's not a genre I like listening to often. I'll put a dubstep song on once in a blue moon. I like the dubstep that the Youtube user DatsiK makes.

Here's a dubstep remix he did of a track from the Final Fantasy 7 soundtrack.
