too bad you can't appreciate it.

first time I heard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Gb3faOzvBk on a dabears mix, i was HOOKED.

personally I find most dubstep somewhere on a spectrum between grating and boring, and the dubstep remixes of popular songs are universally terrible.

you've gotta have it vibrate your body

and maybe listen to it with the right chemicals

8/26/2010 12:52:48 AM

come on, chemicals

8/26/2010 12:54:07 AM

a little alcohol and caffeine do wonders
maybe some nicotine

if you're prescribed adderall focusing on this music is neat

I would never advocate illegal drug use or dangerous behavior

the ones of popular american songs are usually not that great, exception being stuff like:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNjwLga8D6o Nero's mix of Drake's "Forever"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYysOiXqfm4 Chrispy's mix of Ke$ha's "TiK ToK"

if your average joe tries to remix it, then yeah it's bad. If someone like Nero, Chrispy, Flux Pavillion, Jakwob, etc. took a shot at it, it's probably going to be good. They of course, being British, do more popular british songs.

its old in the southeast and england

it's basically what old dnb cats do now, but its quickly losing relevance

8/26/2010 1:34:22 AM

^Losing relevance my ass, dubstep is taking off.

if you need chemicals for the music not to suck, it's not worth listening to

8/26/2010 6:43:50 AM

^ agreed

I guess dubstep and jamband shit have this in common.
