The dubstep they use in games doesn't bother me too much, though I'm much more of an electro-house guy myself.

We need Danger to do a video game score:

Its being way overused. I remember it being in the "Red Tails" trailer. Sides were hurting so bad from the laughter.

and shame on you all for the Skrillex hate. Hes actually pretty good. imo.

 

[whalleywhat]

This is Dubstep. Sub, not wub.

 

[Blunt]

I like video games.

I do not like dubstep.

 

[NoirVisage]

The word "dubstep" doesn't mean anything anymore considering people throw the label at literally everything.

This thread is about "brostep".

I like how your avatar contains the image of an individual that renders the existence of dubstep in my life null and void, i pretend its my speakers warping, and just recall a random track of his till the predictable Wub wub wub noise stops..

"IIIIII will EAT your SOUL."

 

[DukeTogo1300]

For something like SSX it fits, but I find it jarring in most games.

I so miss the grunge OST's of the 90's.

Are you asking why I used his real name instead of Golgo + 13? Back when I started using this moniker, pretty much every variation of Golgo 13 was already taken, now here we are. I think I actually like Duke Togo just as much if not more. The man just has cool names.

 

[JLuke2600]

Playing TrackMania and dubstep together is the only way I can experience each.

Dubstep started in the late 90s and reached its stride in the early to mid 2000s, then was polluted by brostep in the past two or three years.

So why isn't post-Dubstep accurate now?

Really? I was always under the impression that dubstep was codified as a genre in 2005 - although El-B/Horsepower Productions and Zed Bias' work back in the 2-step garage days (1998-2001) is considered a prototype to early dubstep.

Basically it was. There's people that want to cred it all the way back to 98, but I don't buy that shit at all. 98 was all about big beat and all that fresh Freskanova and Finger Lickin' more rustic sounding breakbeats. 2 step was out there too, but I never heard anything akin to this wub wub stuff at all until around 10 years later. I was collecting vinyl (and spinning it) from around 96 to 2004 and none of this shit had proliferated yet.

If you want to get pedantic about it, Dubstep as a genre was basically half-time breakdowns of normal breaks and 2 steppy tracks. The first time I heard the genre I'm like 'Why would anyone want to take the pressure release slowdown middle section and extend it out to the entire song? How do people dance to this??!'

Truth is, people don't dance to it. Its the ultimate genre for people who like electronic music (or rather, have convinced themselves that they do) but who can't get their asses off the wall and get down to save their lives.

My generation of party kids failed these young people hard.

And for that I'm sorry. At least Big Beat and 'electronica' had some soul...this stuff is just sad.

Again, I apologize.

Just saw some match footage on GAMEacho showing dubstep in Tekken Tag Tournament 2. I am not against dubstep, but I am against lame dubstep. I get that it's hip, but sound designers should still try and make it cool.

 

[wutwutwut]

Dubstep creators might have good musical taste, but it's so popular now that many dubstep fans don't.

 

[BadData]

Ruined the borderlands 2 trailer. I try to stay open minded to things, but this stuff really does give me a headache.

Counterpoint: it made the borderlands 2 trailer.

 

[Oreoleo]

so in conclusion if it's popular (like skrillex) people on gaf gets a bug up their ass about it and hate it and the genre it represents. This certainly explains all comments against Apple in OT.

The problem is he is misrepresenting the genre. So many people in this thread saying, 'I hate dubstep' on the merits of Skrillex alone but I'd bet an alarming majority don't realize that it isn't even dubstep.
