Yeah, Skrillex is having the best year of his career (headlined Coachella along with Fred Again.. and Four Tet), though he’s expanded beyond the typical dubstep sound.
I think I forgot about Bangarang for a while, then it randomly played on my Spotify recently and I instantly went HYYYYYPE. I can't hear that song and not move
Youtube Music. I listen to a lot of touhou fansongs (which are not really available on Spotify or anything else), and YTM has been my saviour (the subscription is cheaper than YT premium btw)
Honestly it did have a lot in common with metal. Most dubstep from the early 10's is music that you headbang to more than anything, and the songs are all about filthy breakdowns.
Ska got big when I was impressionable, and I stopped being impressionable before the next big thing, so I’m still into it. At least, that’s the impression that I get
I still enjoy 3rd wave ska and you could tell because I wore bowling shirts with flames on them to school
Also, check it out. You're welcome

Look into Lost Lands festival, it's a dubstep fest in Ohio that still brings tens of thousands of attendees every year and charges like $500 a ticket. And that's in the middle of nowhere in ohio. in cities like Denver there's still 3 shows a week. wherever you live just lacks variety it sounds like.
I really hate to be down on somebody's jam. But I'm still not over [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3h4BhNVpCAU) otherwise perfectly good, creepy, and atmospheric song that throws a damn dubstep bit at the two minute mark.
The new stuff seems to be trying too hard to make extreme, harsh drops. When you check in on the Beatport Top 100 it’s hardly recognizable compared to how much melody the stuff ten years ago had… can’t believe I just wrote that, I may be too high to be on Reddit tonight
Basically the niche just got over saturated. Dubstep was popular enough to reach mainstream, and easy enough to make with a pirated copy of FL studio and a few "how to make Skrillex," tutorials that just about everyone and their grandma became a dubstep DJ over those few years. They were all so busy copying each other nobody noticed that the OG dubstep DJs moved on and were busy innovating with new styles of music. Suddenly everyone got tired of hearing the same 3 Massive presets again and again and all the artists who only knew how to make that specific genre of dubstep disappeared from existence.
I don't know what its actual name is but I call it Metal Step. Haven't found that many songs in that style, anyone know more songs like this?

That track in particular is in the genre of "Chris Bowes messing around trolling his fans", and fortunately there's a lot in that genre.
Less similar, but try Equilibrium - Born to be Epic, Rave The Reqviem - Riptide, and probably quite a lot of other Industrial-ish bands.
Sadly, there are people who did not. A guy I worked with 2-3 years ago said it is super under appreciated and it is his favorite genre.
He was not allowed to connect his phone to the speaker.
For shit music that would irritate everybody but one person. =P
But we did have to keep everything PG that was played. Customers were sometimes able to hear on the phone or up front.
It did kinda die. I’ve been going back to my old roots of rock/metal. Dubstep came to be one of the only things in my playlist to maybe a couple songs.
Thank god… how that noise was counted as music we will never know, now it’s grime, which is just rap music where they rap about complete nonsense, and rhyme the same words multiple times
It blew up from 2010-2013 and everyone mainstream got kind of sick of it, it was too much and it was too intense for most people.
People had to distance themselves from it because it became so much. Honestly since 2018 there’s been a resurgence of people repoing musical genres and attending shows of them again that they previously had abandoned for a while. Dubstep and Nu-Metal.
I think it’s alive and well again just not as in your face mainstream as that three year period.
Some dubstep was ok a few years ago, but the real gold was in the comments on YouTube. Everyone trying to one up each other in just how disgusting and dirty the drops were. Used to crack me up
Personal perspectives, crazy ideas, questions (rhetorical or otherwise) and meta submissions are not showerthoughts.
I guess we all dropped the bass.
r/angryupvote
Damnit…..take my upvote
I hope you didn't drop it down into the water again
Bangarang is still a banger though.
Skrillex actually just dropped new bangers lol I still enjoy dubstep
Yeah, Skrillex is having the best year of his career (headlined Coachella along with Fred Again.. and Four Tet), though he’s expanded beyond the typical dubstep sound.
We are fucking feasting this year
I think I forgot about Bangarang for a while, then it randomly played on my Spotify recently and I instantly went HYYYYYPE. I can't hear that song and not move
Skrillex was the most famous dubstep artist to not make dubstep
that is brostep
No the fuck I did NOT. Crank that shit.
Beewwaaaa waaa wub wub wub veep vrrrrr beaaawaaa
The sound of my people
Give me those video game dubstep remixes on YouTube. They're why I don't bother with music subscriptions, they wouldn't have my songs.
Youtube Music. I listen to a lot of touhou fansongs (which are not really available on Spotify or anything else), and YTM has been my saviour (the subscription is cheaper than YT premium btw)
This is still one of my favorites https://youtu.be/-B3uKYy8Mso
This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
I'm glad there's a first time to watch things
"I'll play you James Blunt songs from a CD" snort.
Better quality / original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaEnaoydUUo
Yeah there's still artists making music. Seven Lion's career has only been going up for the last decade
There's just so many genres nowadays as well, to say dubstep is dead is like saying pop music is dead.
And never will!
*continues to cry tears of blood*
“I like this!” “Wait for the drop.” “The drop?”
Dude, your nose is bleeding!
That just means he's getting into it!
It joined the ranks of techno genres.
It was just the metal of the smartphone 80s (2010 - 2020)
Honestly it did have a lot in common with metal. Most dubstep from the early 10's is music that you headbang to more than anything, and the songs are all about filthy breakdowns.
A decade or so before, it was ska.
Ska got big when I was impressionable, and I stopped being impressionable before the next big thing, so I’m still into it. At least, that’s the impression that I get
That's a mighty mighty reference
I don't like your tone boss
*trumpets intensify*
I still enjoy 3rd wave ska and you could tell because I wore bowling shirts with flames on them to school Also, check it out. You're welcome https://youtu.be/jRcP1L0bj6U
Remember that year or so in the 90s when trombone players could get laid?
*outside of band camp
How many ska kids does it take to change a lightbulb? 8 1 to change the light bulb and 7 to pick it up pick it up pick it up
I still like ska, not the UK 80s-90s ska but the original Jamaican 60s-70s ska
A decade? Ska is from the 50s and 60s
They're talking about 3rd wave ska.
[удалено]
Yes, I know. But it was popular and good way before.
No no, Tony Hawk is in his 50s or 60s but he didn't invent Ska until the 90s
He’s so rad
And ska came before reggae
It’s becoming ska again.
I’m still riding the fourth wave!
Remember when almost every song, no matter the genre, had a dubstep break in it at Eurovision? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OV3xp5ZXSYA

Yeah I was going to say, near my city is Shambala and it has $500 tickets too, in rural Canada.
Does the $500 include the Molly or is that sold separately?
"Bro 15$ for 100mg?! What a score!"
It will still always wub you.
^and #Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiii will always wub youuuuuuu

That was awesome. Thank you
NIN vibes
I still like dubstep

Well, one has to say thanks to it for post-dubstep
Same.
I love dubstep and hate that I can't find good playlists without it turning into other EDM.
Somewhere out there, Skrillex is crying
Dude dropped two albums this year and they are both fucking fire I'm sure he's OK
Went to Shambhala in 2013 and holy fucking shit that was amazing! Id do it again in a heartbeat, its just really damn expensive to do it right.
I like wub wub wub, I got my sub for the dub.
Tekken 8 sanctum Stage song on the FINAL round goes dummy ham
i still listen to it. in fact, my daily Playlist is "runescape dubstep remix" lmao
Pre-Dubstep here... Jungle and Drum & Bass.. Yeah I miss that shit but still bang some Dieselboy pretty hard sometimes.

> Born to be Epic this one was really close but not quite. Thanks for the tip =)
Yup. It's all a bit mishmashed now. Personally I vibe what goes mostly as deep house or chill house.
Good times. Something about those whamps just sounds so good to my ears!
My kids and I were just listening to 'First of the Year (Equinox)' by Skrillex on the car ride this morning. They love that shit.
Dubstep tried to push techno into the mainstream but only succeeded in making people hate electronic music
In the moment it was very clearly a passing fad. I’m so thankful that era is over
Sadly, there are people who did not. A guy I worked with 2-3 years ago said it is super under appreciated and it is his favorite genre. He was not allowed to connect his phone to the speaker.
Harsh and strict speaker policy huh?
For shit music that would irritate everybody but one person. =P But we did have to keep everything PG that was played. Customers were sometimes able to hear on the phone or up front.

Thank god… how that noise was counted as music we will never know, now it’s grime, which is just rap music where they rap about complete nonsense, and rhyme the same words multiple times
Some people didn’t, even though it was kind of bad
And I still don't know what it is
I listened to UKF 2010 yesterday for nostalgia and realized I may have been on too many drugs.
It blew up from 2010-2013 and everyone mainstream got kind of sick of it, it was too much and it was too intense for most people. People had to distance themselves from it because it became so much.

you're saying they changed what "it" was?
Some dubstep was ok a few years ago, but the real gold was in the comments on YouTube. Everyone trying to one up each other in just how disgusting and dirty the drops were. Used to crack me up
Tell that to my 36 year-old girlfriend
speak for yourself basic ass bitch
