okay, but mala has a little note on that putting everything in a specific genre which limits your posibilitiess

edit: one of the best interviews i've heard btw. it rly opened my views on music
long version is 1h40mins btw, this yt video is cut

who defines what something is and what isnt something. its utter bullshit imo. the only reason i would call drum n bass, drum n bass is because ppl know generally what its kinda about.


it seems to me that whenever you ask a person to define dubstep they just talk about the hard wobble stuff. while in 2006 it was mainly about implosion rather than explosion.

true,

but you know, i hate ppl that just say i listen to "dubstep" is because its nowadays for some ppl "cool to listen to that doctor p, and skrillex and whatever music, what super hard bassline 8DDD"

Dubstep is simply an OWNAGE. Nothing more have to be said.

Depends, the whole 'dirty' dubstep scene is pretty bad but I do like ambient dubstep such as:

Only vocal/aimbient dubstep is worth listening, which is hard to find.

I like how you're unable to make a certain type of music if it doesn't fit to a particular beat and BPM.
