So, Justin Bieber's Doing Dubstep Now

if you agree with my point, a single person shouldn't influence your choice to listen to a certain type of music. a single artist does not make an entire genre. simple concept here, if you're willing to give up a certain genre of music because a single artist tried it out, you're a hipster. it can't be said any simpler than that.

This is basically what I was getting at.

i never really got the differences in all these different types of synth music anyways, it seems like once a certain genre gets popular they create new slightly(almost nothing) different genre. as it is right now, if you don't like it, it's not dubstep. excluding an artist from a genre because you don't like it is also a hipster way of thinking. i may be a bit ignorant on what dubstep actually is, hell i don't think anyone really knows what defines something as dubstep anyways.

Skrillex haters are cute. It's fun how they get all technical about why they can't like the music. Well, luckily for me, I can enjoy music without caring about "mid-bass" or whatever.

I'll never forget this night, thanks Skrillex!

I must have heard at least 50 people while going through security talking about how they hate Skrillex.

12th Planet was effing amazing that night as well, possibly/arguably a better set.

Well, first off, the only similar situation I've come across is where there I listened to Trance and I thought Tiesto and his over-the-top cheesy anthems were awful, but I still thought Psytrance was pretty cool, so I kept listening to Psy while I rolled my eyes to Tiesto. So I went on with my own business while I mocked Tiesto for the lulz.

With Dubstep, it's more difficult to deal with because Dubstep is considered to be put all into one place and each style doesn't have an "official" category. The only way it's categorized is Dubstep or Brostep. Brostep is the "popular" genre that has gained so much notoriety, which involves using those "Transformer Sex" effects. Dubstep's got that smooth sub-bass with detailed drum rhythms. So, to hear people calling mid-range noise music "Dubstep," when it's really supposed to be a more low-key kind of music with a chill bass, is like walking into a chick's room you're about to do it with, then you find out, "WTF SHE HAS A PENIS." It's just not my thing, and I would like to have known that beforehand, and not all females have a penis. Plus, it sucks and leaves a bad taste in your mouth. But apparently it's gotten so popular in 2009-2010 that it got out of hand. So Bieber bandwagoning this is sort of like that, and more people will follow suit as a fallout. So of course I'll hate on Brostep as long as it exists, because it sucks and whoever listens to it has bad taste.

I guess I shouldn't really "quit" dubstep though, but I'm just so jaded about its development that all these "you're mad because people are trying something different" people think they have an entitlement to thinking what they listen to is automatically better than everyone else's. It's an arrogant mindset that should probably just die off when everyone realizes that Excision and Datsik are nothing more than a fad.

I see the points to both sides of the spectrum here.
To have someone as horrible as Justin Bieber alienating your genre of music is vexing to say the least; but to drive it out of what you genuinely enjoy would be silly and hipster-ish. The best thing you can do is follow/develop the genre on your own terms and deviate from the perversion of what others attempt to make out of it.

Example: Muse is my favorite band ever, and despite being in cahoots with the Twilight Saga movies, and enduring the sudden surge of twihards invading the fan space, they remain as my favorite artist.
Really stupid bandwagoners or publicity stunts for money don't suddenly make the music bad, only the image. And I can live with that, because if someone can't tell the difference between a legitimate fan of the music and someone there just because it's "hip" or "popular" for the time being, and adversely applys to things that are "underground" then they were probably an absolute tool to begin with.

Something I found earlier today, I lol'd

Yikes, my bad :x

I get lost in my rants sometimes

That's pretty much how I see typical dubstep these days.
Unfortunately I don't have the time nor patience to do my research and hunt down the legitimate talent within this so-called sub genre.

Uh what?

You mean you didn't + that post Nightfyre made just to spite me? :x

I know you're probably laughing just seeing me get beat around like this anyway.

I'll cut you some slack for your posts of passion despite almost contradictory statements previously made.
I too would be rather mad if someone like Justin Bieber put his foot in the door of my favorite artist/genre.

Okay, I should probably make it clear: it's not Justin Bieber that's the problem. It's the style he may try to persue it in that bothers me (and likely a lot of other people too).

I highly doubt that the style that Justin Beiber chooses to use in his dubstep is going to significantly impact your life, and if it does you should probably take a good look at yourself and figure out why something so trivial is causing you so much distress.

You don't have to listen to his music you know.

It'll impact who I meet, sure, but you're right- I really don't have to. lol. I think this whole topic just got blown a little bit out of proportion is all <_<

Not really, if you're going to concerts (I guess they have dubstep concerts?) you're going to be going to the bands you like, and probably have at least some like minded individuals there. Chances are they're not going to be Bieber fiends, unless he actually manages to make good dubstep, in which case if you discount his musical prowess because he's Bieber then you're being ridiculous.

However, given the fact that he is Bieber, he's probably not going to make good music. :c

BUT FANTASTIC LYRICS ABOUND

anyone else think that picture looks like a skinny rosie o'donell about to eat a mic or am i just about good on alcohol for the night?

idk what to say about that sir, but it's one of the most awesome things I've read today

well glad i could provide some lulz with my alcohol fueled ramblings

Yeah I figure it's not likely he'll do it right anyways, but I never had a problem with the person either. If anything, Bieber will be like gateway music to Skrillex, who is also gateway music to other Brostep.

I'll tell you this though, these days festivals oftentimes share a lot of artists regardless if you like one of them or just flat-out hate the other

Needs more

Metal > Brostep anyday XD

Revenge of the nerd lmfao that was funny. Didn't know he looked like.

We all know Bieber is gonna end up like Macaulay Culkin, getting sucked off by some real celebrity and given hush money
