dubstep has been around for 8-10 years.
dnb went to shite in 5 :P
These days I understand Dubstep to mean shitheads using Massive presets and sampling random voice-talk over the top to lend cool and credibility to zero ability.

I realise that is greatly unfair to the many talented people that create dubstep.

I still stick by it Grin

hardcore/early dnb/jungle/dnb has been around for about 20 years now, so it couldnt have gone shite in 5!

will the other music style mentioned still be around in 20 years?

All of these genres went to shit the minute they were given their own genre name.
I'm still trying to figure out how it went from this sound being dominant in the clubs


To this

When did continuing to churn out the same rinsed out basslines and the same rinsed out beats for ten years after they'd got boring become a good thing?

In terms of tunes, yeah, I'm probably going to be listening to the best dubstep tunes for about as long as I'm listening to the best jungle tunes - maybe they're not quite at the same level as the very best jungle stuff, but then not much is. In terms of the scene, why is rigidly sticking to the same scene with the same name and the same sounds a better thing than evolving and changing and trying to keep ahead of the people with the generic cookie cutter tunes and the nights where you know that all the tunes are going to sound exactly the same?

drugs?
Roll any of you knob heads read the interview?


Hahaha
should of used a different quote.

Dubstep's just fast sounding like your everyday commerical RnB rubbish, it'll just become that within a matter of months. Then another genre will get pulled from the underground and it'll undergo the same ghastly process.

Poor old Digital Mystikz though... I feel worst for them in all this. No way did they ever want their sound to be responsible for the state of the genre today, just like how Shift didn't want this thread to become a dubstep-bashing one! Smile
Yeah good interview. You seen his RBMA lecture?
there was some trendy club dj on soccer am a week or 2 back and they asked him what music he played, or whats big in the clubs or whatever

his reply was something like "Grime & Dubsteps really hot now... any dubstep remixes and stuff by Wiley"
Interview's a good read btw Shift Lol

*note to self: check out 'true school'*
