Does anyone else ever like sit back, take a deep breath, and thank the gods that dubstep is over?
@Antifreeze 2 years too long hahaha
@mawr @Fuego Basically; it was a whole new sound made with production methods that people simply hadn't figured out/weren't possible before, so of course it quickly saturated the landscape for a while. Same thing happened with a whole bunch of different sounds (drum machines, 303 lines, sampled drum loops/instruments including a few particularly notorious individual samples) over the course of the '80s and '90s.
@Fuego Yes.
I once went to a party that was called "trancemission"
By the time the party happened it was "dancemission" and grew a dubstep stage ;-;
@IrisKalmia tragic :(
@Fuego Is it really actually finally done with now? Are we safe again?
@Fuego I feel like Dubstep was a musical growing pain between good EDM and differently good EDM
or like when someone invents a new instrument and everyone wants to use it but nobody knows how to blend it with other stuff, so they just... give it the spotlight 'cause it's weird and people are curious about it
