Didn't really like this one, which is a shame. I thought Gucci Gucci was really great when it came out. Don't really like this direction Kreayshawn's taking.

One hit wonder

Wow, that's cool!

Bay Area represent! Not sure about the music but she sure is a cutie.

[o well this is ok I guess]

She's so motionless
Is this what it means to "go hard"

[Althusser]

Oh my god... it's so shitty.

Oh my god... it's so shitty.

The right word to describe this video, I think, is kitschy (pronounced "kit-chee").

I like some forms of kitsch.

I think her whole thing is trite, but then again we're in an era where dubstep is becoming a major movement...

Heyyyy now, not all dubstep is bad. Skrillex is SHIT but there is some good dubstep.

[Yuppie Grinder]

gucci gucci and rich hoe are good tunes
kreayshawn is a qt and pretty based

Dubstep is one of the best kinds of music from the last 20 years tbh. Skrillex and the like belong to a substyle called brostep which is far removed from the original style. The original dubstep was a mix of aggressive 2step with dub production techniques. Take a listen.

As far as pop music goes, I've heard a lot worse. I'd probably start hating it if I was forced to listen to it all the time, which is why I avoid radio these days, especially Radio 1 during the day.

Don't knock all North American dubstep (god, I hope 'brostep' doesn't catch on as a serious term) bro. The founders, Excision and Datsik, are the shit though Datsik is trying to imitate Skrillex too much lately.

Brostep doesn't refer to a regional position. British stuff like Rusko and Doctor P are brostep. Excision and Datsik are abysmal imo.

Rusko was one of the founders of the original style and his current output is really not all that stylistically different from his earlier stuff.

[Yuppie Grinder]

lol no he wasn't, his first release is from 2006

[Stand Your Ground]

It's REALLY hard for me to find dubstep I like. I don't like the old stuff, I don't like Skrillex or much of the modern stuff. With me it's just kinda random songs from a couple artists.

Which is right around the time that dubstep became a cohesive sound rather than a somewhat random mix of garage, 2-step, dub, and dnb. Either way, Rusko's usage of mid-range synth lines served as a major inspiration for later producers like Skrillex and Excision and the "brostep" sound in general, but his music still bears infinitely more in common with Benga and Horespower Productions than with Doctor P. Ultimately though, it's just music regardless of the labels we put on it, even within the "brostep" sound, there is an enormous amount of stylistic variation (compare Figure, Flux Pavilion, and Datsik for example)

[Yuppie Grinder]

Dubstep was a cohesive sound long before 2006. First proper dubstep lp came out in 2001.

As someone who plays an instrument, I consider it the death of music when playing your instrument is clicking on your spacebar.

Then you should learn to click your spacebar better, no?

Which one are you talking about? I know Tempa started releasing early dubstep records as far back as 2000, but a lot of those early releases seem a lot more derivative of garage and not quite distinct enough to be considered a cohesive sound (that's not to say they weren't amazing). I mean, this is all pretty subjective/ultimately unimportant, and maybe I just feel this way because I wasn't around as this stuff was happening, so it's all hindsight for me. Either way, I guess I just never liked the way Rusko always gets lumped in with the mid-range "filth" crowd, when his music has always been about the funky drums and big subs I associate with early dubstep, even if he liked to throw in some pretty killer, albeit relatively low-key mid-range synths.

And I mean, come on, even Skream bros out a little every once in a while (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQB4Wi5HmD8) :thumbup1:

Then you're clearly an amateur spacebar player.


Don't hate on that which you can't do.

It's not even real music! Why don't they play real instruments like guitar! There is no melody! Remember back in the 60s when music was real?

Not only that, but it's snobbish to say that genuine music cannot come out of anything other than a "real" musical instrument.

Well that's a caricature of what I said, but okay; your all welcome to listen to whatever music you want.

To be fair, a friend from high school is now a DJ spinnin dubstep and hip-hop at random parties/venues, and I don't think he's ever touched Fruity Loops or any software at all, really ... except to record what he's doing on his decks

Look, even if one no longer has to practice for many boring hours on end, risking RSI just to make sure you're making the right noises, the use of electronic hardware and software in music production still requires the ability to compose music, which to be honest I think is more important.

While I wouldn't call it boring, digital production with any number of instruments requires just as much practice as guitar or saxophone. I've spent hundreds and hundreds of hours honing my technical skills in sampling, synthesis, drum programming, mixing, etc. using a variety of different digital instruments. Reverse engineering a synth patch is no different from practicing scale patterns.

that isn't what electronic music is though dummy.
