I just recently got into Dubstep about two months ago when I saw Big Chocolate at Warped Tour (where we had a Dub mosh pit. It was odd, yet fitting) and have found it to be quite the perfect genre for me; being both a metalhead and electro fan. My favorite artists so far are Skrillex, Ephixa, and GoingQuantum on youtube, because they all have really heavy drops and quite a violent feel to them. I am however less impressed by dubstep from Deadmau5 (I didn't even know he made dubstep tracks) which has a lighter less violent feel.

So what is your opinion on Dubstep as a whole, who are your favorite artists, and do you find moshing to be appropriate in a dubstep setting?

On a slightly unrelated note. I find it slightly funny how 50s-70s sci-fi movies depicted music and dancing of the 21st century being electric and shrill in a fashion very similar to Dubstep.

that sounds pretty damn good at high db's on my razer mako speakers. only thing i still need to find is a lossless version of the song :P

Massive Attack is also very good. Massive Attack + dubstep is even better

More relaxed edit, but still good.

I'm not a big fan of dubstep. Most of it seems like a bunch of random noise to me

I really like trance though, but I like the bass that dubstep has. I ended up stubbling on an artist named Blackmill, I don't know if you've heard of him, but he makes dubstep-trance songs that are amazing. He calls it Chillstep =)

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUGzY-ihqWc"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUGzY-ihqWc[/ame]Guess it's time to dig in the old thread graveyard. This is the only dubstep song I enjoy.
 
My opinion on dubstep:

Tribal techno. To me it sounds like if you gave a tribe a synthesizer (or some other kind of electric instrument) and watch them go nuts with it along with their other instruments like drums.
 
I gotta agree on the Bare Noize remix of Kill Everybody (Its a lot better), that Borgore track on the front page sounded...odd. It sounded like a pig to me, that thought was so distracting I can't enjoy the track :/.

I didn't like that Chris Brow remix either, but thats mostly because I can't stand Chris Brown (or any other "modern rap" artist besides eminem, dre, jay-z, and sometimes a little snoop)

Blackmill is OK, but its not really my thing. Eyes On Fire sounded like Blackmill, so the same goes for that.
Everything else is great though.

Click to expand...

That is a brutally epic description


ALSO

What is with this whole "Skrillex isn't dubstep" thing? I looked up the argument and it seems to be completely based upon how the guy dresses.....wtf?
