To all of you complaining that the dubstep scene isn't what it used to be
Posted on: 11.02.2012 by Nereida Jasnoch
Every once in a while on the internet (DJTT included) I see these people complaining on how the dubstep scene changed the last decade. If you count yourself among these people I have something to say to you.

Last evening I went to a dubstep party (like I tend to do every couple of weeks) and I just want to describe the atmosphere there.
The booth: Not separated from the crowd in any way, you could look over the DJ 's shoulder. Technics 1200 at the ready. There were also CDJ-1000s but they saw a lot less action.
The crowd: Not a single frat boy in sight. However there was one douchebag that insulted my friend once because he had long hair. But for the most part really cool "alternative" people. Loads of weed though, but you won't hear me complaining about that.
The music: To give you a rough idea, there was a lot of older skream, coki, mala, digital mystikz played.

If I had stepped into a time machine I would have assumed I was in London in 2004 but actually I was in Leuven in 2012. So people complaining about the artist who must not be named or anything similar or if you post the picture below in threads, please for the love of god, stop your bitching.

TL;DR: Read it all or don't bother, have a nice day.

Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Drop of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.

It all depends on who is throwing the party, and what vibe the are going for. What they get their promoters to focus on bringing in, and who they book and what they are asked to play.

Anything can be anywhere. I've seen the same evening at a club be a hipster's wetdream, and then the next week be a college freakout.

Just a matter of figuring out what you want to go out for.

How many "drops" should a good dubstep track have. Is there a mathematical equation to work this out?

Just how much "Bro" should a track have for it to be considered "Brostep" and not decent "dubstep" ?

And, whats the maximum amount of "bro" that should be in a track to prevent the "bros" liking it and achieving credit from the "real dubstep fans"

I hope someone can answer. I am very concerned for the Dubstep scene.

I do hope its going to be ok.

Personally im just fed up of the constant debate about dubstep, its just become tiresome...whether its new vs old or people complaining about skrillex, this community sees enough of it.

+1... Where I am pretty much the only dubstep being played is the shitty brostep (though there is one DJ who usually warms up for the brostep guys who will sneak in some old classics early in the evening ). That said there is still a scene for the deep stuff and the old stuff cause it's still be made, it's just a hell of a lot harder to find in North America.
