Instead of a long talk, you could provide us some examples... I notice that the language used to describe all those sub-genres are sometimes a little vague, so, learning by hearing an explanation is a little complicated.

How can you make a video about music without playing any music

[Tefixitafuckme]

I waited the whole video for you to actually PLAY music 😒

[rigslut]

i think we've established people run into each other when dubstep is on, thank you

[noteblues]

I was taught that in order to break the rules, we must first learn what the rules are. So, we learn the elements of a genre, and then go change 'em. with our own style/voice. Thanks for your viewpoint.

D&B and Dubstep doesn't have to be crazy and filthy though, there are sides to the genre that are not as wild and extreme. D&B has a subgenre called Liquid D&B, which tends to be more chill with atmospheric elements. then Dubstep, which is so loosely defined, has tracks which many would call like chillstep or progressive dubstep, but neither of those subgenres are fully agreed upon to be legitimate. but take like Bassnectar for example, he may delve into trap music a lot, but most of his music is dubstep, and while he has a few songs that represent like 2009-2010 stereotypical dubstep, otherwise he doesn't put emphasis on making crazy Skrillexy sounds.

I'm a bartender at a Techno party tonight. Last time, they ordered lots of water. So is Techno about drinking water with a bunch of people or is it about liquid bass lines? Please tell me. Maybe I can get along with the hype tonight.

Good shit man. Wish I had this perspective when I started out. I was way too preoccupied with technical stuff and categories. Took me way to long to understand how genres really work.

detroit techno
it's a cross between early house and electro with futuristic sounds, no melody, more percussions, reverb and delay effects.
notable artists: juan atkins, bellville three, kenny larkin, eddie flashin fowlkes, dan curtin, ben pest

[alliezheng]

thank u for emphasizing the natural feeling of different genre because that's how we fall in love with certain genre but easily forget it when start to learn production.

[Byronic]

So basically...you dunno lol ... Thats how this made me feel.

[aura-audio]

I agree with you on how people dance to certain genres. It seems like there are more mosh pits with dubstep and heavy metal. If you think about it, dubstep is like electronic heavy metal with synthesizers and electronic drums instead of guitars and drumsets.

I got into dubstep because of the deadpool video game 2013. Before that I mostly heard the reaction of the people that it sucks. So I never even tried it. But then it became my favorite genre quite fast actually. I had like 90% more songs of dubstep that I like in comparison to all other genres. Today I've got like 500 tracks of dubstep and perhaps only 50 tracks of other genres that I like. Other similar genre I liked was hardcore (hardstyle), but it kinda died after fearfm closed.

[ChibiChubbyRobo]

Dubstep is sub-bass oriented, and energetic, "shakes you to your core in a visceral way" would be a good description of harsh noise. Dubstep almost always is atmospheric, and has a spacious low key sound.What you're talking about when you bring up clubs & dubstep is brostep, the extremely predictable song structures and mid range melodies.

This is what happens when you use club talk(where people who just listen to singles and not albums and have no idea about albums or the progression of music in general and listen to 90's electronic dance genres) to get your info.
Clubs are bullshit. The best electronic dance music, whether it's future garage, bubblegum bass, glitch pop, ambient dub, microhouse etc, functions best both in the club AND on private listens anyway.

So glad I found this vid because there are a few genres I don't quite understand or at least I can't really differentiate

[nanxia]

That "Running into each other for 30s, and have a break, and do it for 2h" kills😂

[ChamboUK]

Real dubstep is nothing like the shit you see on tv and hear on radio. I see it as a strange mix between grime and techno

[eliehaers]

Dubstep is not running into each other but headbanging

[MrKarver]
