Goodbye U2

Totally defensible. Besides, we're talking about a DJ. For all I know he's polished some of the stuff I dislike into gems by now.
KvP:
Actually I run into all sorts of people who think DeadMau5 is dubstep, which makes sense as the average person 'round here thinks this counts. Or this, for that matter. DeadMau5 is relatively lifeless Tech House but he seems to tour with brostep-y sorts. He's more interesting than Rusko usually is, but that's a low bar to clear. He's not producing bad MIA tracks, either.
When dubstep actually existed it was more like this. These days it's actually more House than Garage. You don't hear many claps on the 3s or snares on the 2s and 4s from the underground.

Only funny 'cause it's true.
--- Quote from: scarred on 03 Nov 2010, 17:43 ---The fact that I find dubstep to be possibly the most boring thing ever probably factors into my decisionmaking.

Thank god I'm not the only one who feels this way.
Alex C:
I don't like dubstep for the most part either, but every once in a while a track catches me off guard and I'll like it. Rusko was surprisingly entertaining when I saw him in Chicago but if I had to choose a dog in this fight I'd go with deadmau5. I just have a soft spot for house oriented music.
Anyway, you'll never catch me trying to categorize any of these guys definitively anyway. Deadmau5 had "Soma" and "Strobe" on the same damn album anyway so fuck if I know what to call him exactly. At what point do you identify these guys by the beats vs. what kind of effects they tend to favor?
KvP:
See here. Not a lot has changed in the last two months, except more and more dubstep OGs are making House music.
In a nutshell
- Are the beats horribly unquantized (ie are they sloppy)? It's Wonky.
- Is it vaguely afro-caribbean in its percussion? Does it have a 4/4 beat? It's Funky.
- Is it just incessant, phallic bass slamming? It's brostep.
etc.
