I thought that was just Skrillex.
- timeon 3y agoObligatory: Skrillex is BroStep not DubStep.
- nyolfen 3y agothis feels like the 'USian'/'American' dichotomy
- pxc 3y agoDubstep generally still has some recognizable traces of reggae in it and is not nearly as aggressive. Listen to some reggae and some older dub, then traditional dubstep, and you will see why it's useful to have different terms. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dub_music https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dub_music
- nyolfen 3y agoi am familiar with the distinction, but for most of the world, dubstep is what you call brostep. this battle is long lost.
- pxc 3y agoIt's best not to pull your hair out over it, but introducing the wider range of terms is low effort and it gives you a chance to introduce brostep fans to ancestrally related genres that they might also like, so I don't see the harm in gentle insistence here.
- justinator 3y agoIs this like a "No True DubStep" situation?
- Auracle 3y agoPretty sure it’s a “people discuss musical genres” thing. I used to get mildly annoyed with my friends - who were all in to music more than me - when they were discussing which bands were in which genres. In the end each of their little (sub)genres had just a couple of bands each. It kind of defeats the point of a genre.
- pferde 3y agoI mean, noise from /dev/urandom by any other name would smell just as rank.
