Dubstep what the hell is that all about?

lol

Ah, your right about this music, it’s quite horrible. But only because you don’t know the good artists. I have an ass load of stuff similar to this and I gangsta’ lean to it all the time foo’.

To get the good stuff, head over to http://ocremix.org – yeah it’s a video game remix site, but the shit’s hot!

sorry I’m siding with those you hate on this James, but I honestly can’t listen to metal for a second. It makes me need church.

I don’t really mind if you hate metal, it’s basically the whole issue off metal although being hated should be regarded as music (Well more regarded as music than dubstep anyway)

most of dubstep’s pretty boring but anyone who uses the “real instruments” argument in this day and age is a complete arsecandle. and if you like “only” metal or “only” dubstep or “only” free-jazz or “only” any one thing then you’re narrow-minded too. there’s fucking good music and there’s fucking bad music and no genre has any monopoly on either. obviously, you only started high school so maybe you can be forgiven for being such an ignorant twat, hey. but right now you’re hitting all the “i’m a total idiot” buttons. so, learn to listen, and more importantly, learn to not parade your 30 seconds of ignorance in public.

I am most certainly not a metal only person, granted it is my favorite type of music genre, but I guess the article above really doesn’t show anything else, after all it all started after I got typing about the daily debate we have in the common room about what music is put on, And how Metal is completly shunned even though everyone else that likes metal has to listen to there stuff, and they we get denied when we try

I can tell you that I play the guitar, so not only do I play metal, I also play blues, I love blues songs and yes I do play heavy songs, but I also like playing scales and cords on the guitar, I love all of that. My music taste although being as some people put it as “god awful” and still except or musics as we are all different. But I just had to get the whole dubstep issue out there.

Yes this article maybe Narrow Minded and ignorant, but in the end it’s based on something thats always happening in at college in the common room. And there’s prently of ignorance in my college over metal.

Hope you can see now that im not so ignorant after all.

hahaha, i love metal. okay possibly a “deathcore” fag, but bands like whitechapel, suicide silence etc etc.
however, i produce dubstep.

And no it isnt a “random pile of shit” neither is metal.

you need to understand metal to like it, as is you need to understand dubstep to like it.

i go to college also, me and my mates bring is speakers or use our cars, we play what we want and everyone else can fuck off. stop being a pussy and do what you want.

i want to to listen to whitechapel then i will, i want to listen to caspa and rusko (dubstep) i will, i want to listen to dr. dre then i will.

although RnB is utter shite ill agree with you there.

p.s i play guitar too haha.

i just got bored of metal after a while and most of it sounded the same and too many people around my area wanted to be “metal as fuck” and it just got embarassing.

also i apologise for swearing haha didnt read that bit at the bottom

You sound like the most safest person that listens to dubstep ever, and when you said Whitechapel and Suicide Silence you defiantly made my day, those are two mighty epic bands.

I’ve listened to dubstep and I really can’t get into it, im sorry but thats how it is, to me it’s just noise. But then again people that critise metal say just the same thing so it’s really just a massive battle with blood being splatted anywhere.

Don’t get me wrong Dubstep although I hate, I accept it. I mean I listen to it everyday in our common room because someones got it playing when I walk in, so maybe one day I’ll like it, but Im doubtful.

Thanks for sharing your views though and don’t worry about swearing, swearing is acceptable if it’s used in context which it is in your post.

[...] Mashup wrote an interesting post today onHere’s a quick excerptEnter James’ world where he’s always blogging and providing tutorials for the masses. [...]

You’re an ignorant douchebag. Just because electronic music isn’t made with analog instruments that require technical skill to operate doesn’t mean that it takes any less creative effort to produce. And FYI a synthesizer does (believe it or not) require quite a bit of practice to learn to operate property. Just because it’s accessible doesn’t make it any less worthy to be called music then “metal.” People love electronic music because with such a huge variety of sounds available you can create so many more feeling then you can with just a guitar, bass and drums. Learn to accept that your music is outdated (Every possible chord combination has been played before) and that eventually everyone will be tired of hearing “GWWWWWEEHEHHOWW GWWWWWWHOW GWWWHWHHOWHWOW” and turn to more progressive (Yes, I hate that term, but whatever), electronic sounds. The robots are coming bruv, and eventually all your music will be is a nostalgic memory of a past time where musical elitists put down electronic music because they can’t get their heads around anything other then “GWWWWWEEHEHHOWW GWWWWWWHOW GWWWHWHHOWHWOW”

Im glad people are still reading this post! It must of got to a few people (Never thought it would to be honest but anyway)

Ha ha ha “GWWWHWHHOWHWOW” Awww man you made my day, thats the best way anyones put a guitar in words. Seriously im going to be smiling about that one through out the day today so thanks for that xD

I’ll agree to a extent on your view on the guitar, chords are boring, yes they get repetive and make the same sound. It’s the first thing I learnt and yeah they suck. But a guitar is certainly not outdated and you can create a whole lot more from just “GWWWWWEEHEHHOWW” example for electric guitars you can have pedals which can create additional distortion and add in all sorts of noises to your guitar.

Artifical harmonics as well (Pinch Harmonics) they are sounds you create by your thumb and pick hitting the string at the same time so you get the scream effect. You can do lots of additional sounds with a guitar as well, you just need to know how.

Hey let’s end this plain and simple i personally create/ spin Dubstep i would also like to say metal is a great genre along with Dub. I do agree that it may appear easy to make Dubstep when in fact it is just as hard as metal if you take a look at the programs required to make it no average Joe-smo can make music on them. Same goes for metal. Music is music only those with the skill can make good music.

i forgot to add that i too love Amon Amarth, Suicide Silence, Children of Bodom, and i happen to have friends who are in a Death Metal band called Of What May Come.

LOL
Are you upset that no one listens to metal anymore? No surprise, its written by a bunch of geeks who are afriad of showers and whose fathers didnt pay them enough attention.

Actually, I dont hate metal, its just dated as hell, like several decades dated. Like Godhead was hinting at – i could pick up a guitar, but doesnt mean it will be good music coming from the amp, lol.

Dubstep – its the new black!

I don’t think you realize the complexities behind good production for music like dubstep, just like anyone can write a song on guitar… anyone can make a track, won’t make it good.
There is alot of logic behind the production values behind genres such as dubstep/drumnbass/breaks.

I love metal too, but i’m a dj also, and anybody who dismisses a form of music just cause it ‘CAN’ but not always ‘IS’ made on a computer is a tit.
Someone could download the program ‘Reason’ and make a tune that you might think is good, but to other producers they’d know straight off the bat it was made on Reason.

People record their own loops, their own samples, so it’s just as viable as any other kind of music.

I think you’ve been beat here James.

guess it’s time for you to break open Limewire and start downloading some dubstep! XD

Yeah I listened to metal when I was a spotty teenager too, but since then I’ve grown up a little, and my tastes have broadened! To dismiss music purely because its created on computers is unbelievably narrow minded: all music is soundwaves that hit the ear, so it is irrelevant how it was created. There is only so many combinations of accoustic instrument sounds (and notes that they play) that can be written. Whereas, computer generated music multiplys the amount of combinations that there can be, by a near infinate amount! wikipedia says that dubstep ‘is distinguished by its dark mood’ – WHAT A LOAD OF! Iv got loads of tracks that are upbeat, and if you wanna get technical, MAJOR!

In answer to one of your reply’s about ‘for electric guitars you can have pedals which can create additional distortion and add in all sorts of noises to your guitar’ how do you think they work dipshit! They can create many different varriations of the guitar sound that is played into them, but they cant create a mean subbass that, when played out of “a real set of speakers” eg. Function 1, will pleasure you girlfriend, just by her sitting on the vibrating floor! But beings as you have the spare time to come up with this pathetic, pointless (literaly) rant, you clearly dont have a girfriend!

Dubstep by its very definition has its roots in dub, which is one of the most soulful genres around. You’re listening to the wrong stuff mate! yea that clip thats on wikipedia wasn’t all that, but thats like us playing fightstar and saying ‘metals shit!’ you better do your homework before you mouth off about a genre you have pigeonholed! you dont like the chavs doing that to you, do you! EMO!!

Bleh, I managed to piss off many people. I didn’t even mean to but oh well fun times. Im actually wondering where all of you lot came to this page from, like referral or whatever. I seem to bring out the angry side of people here I iz sorry. Tbh I don’t regret what I put here, this is my blog I post my thoughts and other things here, my space my rules. I maybe narrow minded on Dubstep. I don’t like it thats probably the problem.

I love your evaluation of me posting this means I don’t have a girlfriend. You are correct I don’t have one, but then again, it means nothing, trying to judging me on my personality from simple text paragraphs isn’t clever. Yes I have spare time and my blog is one of the spare time activies. And yeah im on a computer alot probably too much so yeah think what you want if it makes you feel better

Thanks for giving me 1 more pageview to my blog, I am very grateful for the statistic !!!

And thanks for the end comment of EMO. I get that quite alot and im used to it, I’d try and explain that im not an emo but then again you claim to already know me so I won’t bother. Long hair <3

Thanks again <3 and sorry to anyone else that I haven’t replied to, I can’t always reply as and this might shock Womra but I also do other things that don’t resolved around my blog xD

Oh and btw plenty of dubstep lovers basically reverse what I’ve said and are narrow minded about metal. So what do you expect from someone who loves metal. Two way system!

Well I have alot longer hair than u! its just the swept over 1 eye bit that makes me think ur an emo! oh and i found it on google, bout page 3 or 4! and if ur a dubstep lover like myself the title “Dubstep – Whats that all about?” is gunna make u read it! (good advertising)

I did like metal, but like i have already said, there is only so much u can do with it! I’m grade 5 clarinet, grade 4 saxaphone, i can play bass and guitar to a perfoming standard. And after all these years of a producing/performing background, and listening to all genres of different varietys, i have found myself fascinated and devoted to this genre u have grown to hate. I hope that 1 day a new and boundryless genre sweeps u off ur feet!

Btw – the leave a reply part of ur webpage was a good idea!

Good Day Sir!!!

Ha ha page 4 of Google thats pretty funny, I haven’t even tried and yet tutorials and stuff I post and hope I will get traffic never seem to get that far. HA HA, oh dear.

Well im glad you replied back, see despite the hate that’s on this page I still try and comment. Impressive music talents, very diverse and unique and hey you got into dubstep and since then have been fascinated by it, fair enough, im similar excect I listen to rock then progressed into heavy rock and the metal it’s a lovely cycle.

Yeah my avatar may seem Emo but really im not, I don’t wear eye liner or tight jeans then only one thing that possibly makes me 1% emo is that I use straightners on my hair but thats because my hair is curly naturally. But yeah looks can be deceptive.

Im glad you checked out my blog, and I always encourage people to reply on anything I post, what would be the point otherwise. Me on my one posting stuff that no one will talk about after, now thats pathetic.

Again thanks for coming by

This is silly! first off bands like Suicide Silence and Whitechapel are not in way “epic”. It’s in what you like. I love all kinds of Metal music. for the past 10 years I’ve been playing in em and been into it since my early teens. I for one tho like more music, than just metal. being a fan of dubstep, yes!, I do agree a lot of it is noise, but thats what I think of Suicide Silence and the rest of these new Death act’s. nothing but kids that learned how to do blasts beats and attack the strings on their guitars. no true music writing talent. if you weed out the good ones, you’ll def find some really amazing shit. seeing that this dude is only into METAL, he def wouldnt care that Dubstep follows a really traditional process that could easily be considered a homage to some oldskool Electronic music.

I havent enjoyed Metal at all since the latest Veil of Maya and the latest Origin. as for Dubstep?… I know a shitload of metal heads who enjoy that shit. It’s got that dark and real heavy feel.

BOB out with us DUDE

cheeeeeeeeef

suck urself pussy

p.s. suck ur dad as well, u chief

DUDE.

you dont know the first thing about anything it seems.

the “REAL INSTURMENTS ARGUMENT” is sooo old and so played out.bwak sqwak wakk wahh wahh wahhhnnnn.

so you dont like electronic music.

who cares?

not us.

ez homie.

you just keep fighting the important fights, like what kind of music they play at your dorm. Just remember, you are the music you listen to. keep up the good work.

Hehe…so because a piece of music isn’t played on real instruments, there’s somehow less talent involved in the composing of it compared to a piece that is played on real instruments? You’re a fool.

I’d love to see people like you write electronic music…you’d get so lost in having to arrange the multiple layers of sound/instruments.

Stick to waving your hand up and down a guitar and grunting into a microphone – atleast you can do that.

Anyone here realize that in the 60′s some people hated the electric guitar. Im sure some people said “its not even music” at the time. Im sure there were people who were talking about how anyone can make music with an electric guitar, cause its just noise (the distortion)

those of you who are saying “computer” music is not real music……im sorry to say, but you are being left in the dust by advancing technology.

really what it comes down to is that you like what your used to hearing. some things are new, and some people cant accept new things.

for the record, i produce dubstep, and i play drums in a metal band.

You are a stupid mother fucker, you represent everything that is wrong with modern music – an elitist ignorant fuck face,

come back once you’ve open your eyes and ears to something new and refreshing,

you are a certified wasteman. end of story.

i strongly advise you listen to an artist called reso,

each to there own my old son put keep an open mind , as i do to all things metal, even though im an electronic music head

@Asa Im just a average person. I am no way elitist. I never went to private school or grew up in a “posh” enviorment. I go to state schools like most people and can tell you right now I do not believe in Private Schools, paying money to get a better education, it’s wrong. I do Sociology at A level and explored secondary and private education. But it this way by the end of the unit, I hated private schools more than ever.

@kidcazual Thanks. I try to keep a open mind, but I find it hard to whem im just bashed all the time.

Btw to all the comments that recently have appeared I’ve added a little addition to the orignal post basically to reply to the comment and points that people are saying. Thanks for the comments hopefully I can keep reply to them.

You look like a 13 year old girl, and your blog stinks of the same intellectual power.

Stop listening to emo.

Thanks, just for the record im 16 and am defiantly Male

this is such a radical blog, bro! i like the ironic misspellings and the cliche 11 year old boy (girl?) as the picture…really completes the image of terrible blog.

it’s art

Yeah I don’t proof read my articles I really should but I don’t, so I know I’ll never be a journalist for my future career!

Thanks for your little message in the URL: http://yourblog.is/pathetic

Pretty sneaky xD

chief

Completely see what your saying mate, I love dubstep but I also love my metal… But you really shouldnt be preaching to people on a blog just tell the next fucker who turns your music off to float.

By the way all you dubstep heads your giving this kid shit about having nothing better do than posting blogs about his dislike for a genre… Do you not think its a little sad that your coming on here to give a kid shit for stating his opinion. I read through that full post and I love listening to and mixing dubstep and to be honest I didnt find a bit of it insulting. So grow up the lot of you. It’s his opinion.

i don’t think you should have opinions on music as a whole, its obvious that you only follow one genre, maybe cos its fashionable to be rebelious or ur searchin for somewhere to belong, you do not want to be considered the norm – fair play but its these same things that should make you think twice b4 trashin another genre. You are not a music lover you are a genre lover plain and simple.

If you have any respect for music as a whole you would look to the elements within music to draw references – if this was flipped round i very much doubt you would be impressed with these kind of closed minded statements.

I love Dubstep/Metal/Jazz/World Music/Drum n Bass/Hip Hop even some psych. I don’t have to love everything in these genres but i know if i look properly and take the time i will surely find some stuff that will blow my mind.

Maybe this is something you should consider, don’t feel threatened by the new group of kids in a common room interested in a new form of dance music. Get to know…Its just plain silly.

u r a wasteman

@pas de dutche your obviously as stupid as you name makes you sound… He wasnt slating the lads in his common room for there taste in music he even stated he sat there and listened to it for half an hour etc… He was complaining because they were turning his music of and bitching about it.

as for The Face, please if you have nothing usefull to say dont say anythin at all with comments like that the world would probly be a better place if you didnt. MUG!

James , Love your hair … want to fuck?

I got a best “cellar”

I’ll have to pass on that, thanks.

@ scott ooohhh matron, last of the great defenders? lol

well lets be real here then, 16 year olds in a common room fighting over which music to play, werent too long ago i was that age and i hadn’t grasped the concept of feelin other genre’s and slating other scene’s, wether its the blogger or the other kids in the common room-at that age everyone wants to scream the loudest, i should have clocked the age of these people before i posted as i assumed they people involved may have been older, that is the only thing im sorry about. As you were scott – my hero!

Not trying to be a hero, just think its a bit out of order the amount you lot have slagged ths kid

you outlook is as shity as you think dubstep is. ppl are funny!

I’ve got an idea. Why not just listen to metal through your earphones?

At the end of the day, if the majority of people want to listen to dubstep, then the majority vote wins, simple as. Just like we have an election for prime minister, the majority vote wins. You shouldn’t make the majority “suffer” because the minority wants to mosh.

Before you say I’m a metal “basher”, I like heavy music. Not as heavy as the bollocks bands people have been writing on here, but I love Metallica and absolutely adore Dream Theater. John Petrucci is a maniac and Mike Portnoy should be dead by now.

Fortunately though, I’ve become addicted to Dubstep and I can think of nothing better than throwing down some shapes and soldiering to some absolute wobbers. My iPod should be called a DubPod!

You argue that it’s just noise, well it is, ridiculous noise. Bass lines running though you where the only outcome is you bopping all the way home. Well how would you defend people screaming down a microphone? That is just noise. They can’t obviously sing and it just ruins the potentially good riffs you struggle to hear in the background.

You need to climb out of this metal hole you’ve got yourself into. You’ll end up like one of them 40+ guys you see with a lame job, a girl who’s more of a man than they are, all because they’ve moshed too many brain cells out.

Oh, and you’re definitely an emo. Just the way you write, using shitty things like XD and <3, only willy sniffers do that. And invest in some English lessons, your grammar is appalling.

Sadly even though I have my own iPod with headphones if I tried to listen to my own music in the common room at sixth form it would be drowned out by dubstep.

Look this is my blog where I post various things. In actual fact I posted this as sort of a way to let of steam. Not to create some internet war/argument, but looks like everyone here has decided to make it into one so what can you do. I think it’s fair to say I’ve been very accepting of the name calling that I’ve had thrown at me, judgement of my personality etc but not once have I called anyone a name back.

You should contact iPod about your “DubPod” it would most defiantly catch on lol.

See some people have gotten it into there heads that im being some defender of the metal music genre, while it may seem that way. I just posted this one wednesday evening to let of some steam and share it with others. But no a person can’t do this anymore without being verbally destroyed. It’s sad really and to be honest if im just going to get continues hate im just going to remove this article (Which yeah you all will be glad about) but Im getting really annoyed with the same points all the time and im fed of it really, and you may be thinking why did you post this in the first place then. Well because I simply stated my opinion and just let of some steam, but now apparently this is some music war.

And again I replied to someone who said the similar thing about being me Emo.

“Oh, and you’re definitely an emo. Just the way you write, using shitty things like XD and <3, only willy sniffers do that.”

You claim to know my personality by one photo, this article and two commonly used internet characters “xD” and “<3″ sorry but you fail there.

But hey at least you structured your comment and stated why you said those things, which I thank you for. Because comments like “Ur a wasteman” im just going to ignore.

you can’t say that about dupstep whilst not taking time to fully research the topic to be disscussed. And anyway, the ‘dubstep’ in the sixth form is piss-poor. hence why i don’t roll in there. stupid chavs with their mainstream shit.

Most music lovers do not stick to one genre. I for example listen to dubstep, grime, d’n'b, roots reggae, dancehall, ska, various forms of rock, metal and hip-hop. My honest advice for you is to listen to all kinds of music, you never know, you may grow to find something you enjoy even more than metal.

Luckily for you, and unluckily for the rest of us, dubstep is a trend at the moment and the people who like it will probably be a minority in 10 years time, whilst metalheads have been in the minority for a long time and probably will be for a long time. Therefore, you’re always going to annoy those into a current music trend when you put your metal on… and to be fair, I don’t know anyone who feels that metal is okay. Seems like a bit of a marmite thing haha.

On a serious note though, if these people are upset by your music choices, try to find some common ground. When I’m with my friends, I wouldn’t dream of putting on something I know most of them wouldn’t appreciate. Therefore, instead of going for the, I don’t know Pete Seeger or Blind Lemon Jefferson (which, though fantastic, probably aren’t loved by most people my age on first listen), I go for the something I know that we will all enjoy, such as a bit of reggae, Jurrasic 5 or some liquid DnB. Just so you know, I’m most into folk, blues, reggae, ska, rocksteady and drum and bass (althogh it changes all the time).

I suggest you try to find some common ground with your friends, so that next time you share your music with your friends, try to put something on that you think they will appreciate. And be more open minded with your music tastes, always be on the look out for things you haven’t heard. Ask your parents for suggestions (no joke!). That way, your might be less inclined to think of you as the “metalhead”, and more as a cool guy with good taste in music. You never know, after a while they might find themselves more receptive to your beloved metal =)

***when I said i don’t know anyone who thinks metal is “okay”, I meant I know people who love it and people who hate it and that seems to be about it! No offence meant.

It’s cool bro, longer time since anyone has commented, tbh the people I mentioned in this, aren’t friends at all. Just fellow people in sixth form, while I know there names, not really friends with them. Your suggestion is basically what has happened over the years, but now a days I find myself being in the common room less and less, so it’s not much of a problem anyway. Thank you for your comment.

you’re a faggot
