I Used to love dubstep

When that shit first came out it was personally life changing for about a year but great for 4 or 5. I genuinely believed it would have major longevity. Now the college radio stations stopped playing so much DnB and now they play dubstep all the time. Fuckin lame ass college kids always come up to me asking if i know about datsik and saying how awesome dubstep is. I might agree with such a statement when dubstep was awesome, but now it's goddamn terrible and it breaks my heart. How does something go from underground sensation to immediately hella generic and overplayed? Terence Mckenna was right, we is all gonna die.

There should really be a distiniction in genre between good dubstep (typically with other genre elements) and shitty dubstep which what the majority of dubstep fans like. Clearly its not all the same music, so why should it all be chucked into the same genre?

Because the overall creativeness has pretty much gone out the window. It's like the people who were artistic with it from the start continue to be and venture out into other genres of electronic music. That's like 5 or 6 producers out of hundreds of brosteppers. Look at those two clowns Skream & Rusko, two former Og's of the scene are horrid now.

I never really cared about 'the scene'. All i know is that there is still good dubstep out there or at least semi-dubstep. The fact that its relatively underground does not really concern me since i can download it just as easily.

I agree to a certain extent...It has most definitely blown up, and gone "mainstream". As a result there's a whole shit load of generic sounding shit out there.
Doesn't mean there isn't still good music being made. This genre is quite diverse and there's so many different sounds and styles emerging from it. Unfortunately most people think it's all about the "filth" & hard hitting tunes, and that's generally the impression people get when dubstep is brought up...
Like always, lots of people only hear the mainstream sounds of a genre...Doesn't mean there isn't good music being produced...
And there are still plenty of underground "bass music" parties out there. Keep your ear to the ground eh'...
Good dubstep still exists...

that's not what it is at all. It's a the genre was a lot better a long time ago thread. Im sure other people are just as aware of the situation as i am.

I always thought dub step sucked since its birth...I understand how and why people like it though but I dunno I think that it dumbed down electronic music if such a thing is possible

actually because of the flood of dubstep threads over 2010. I started to listen to what other's were listening to and then i realized it was mostly garbage. I had no clue it had gotten so bad. Slowly but surely i stopped mixing and eventually stopped producing. Not only that, but i started to notice the crowds changing at shows it went from a mix of normal people, to emo kids and bros.

Haha...I too have noticed the crowd changing a wee bit over the years. It's becoming a little more diverse, but the so called "scene" and parties I associate my self with is generally a crowd of hippies, burners and folk of that sort (not to stereotype).
Leather, feathers, and fire rather than candy and glow-sticks.
Always thought it was interesting how the crowd associated with a certain genre can be very diverse and different depending on where you are...

Haha. This happens with just about any "underground" genre of music; it gets more popular. If you regard it as "good music" what do you expect? Just continue listening to what you like and ignore the rest.
