Can people stop using shite dubstep in sk8/snow vids…

What is with this woeful genre of music? over compressed, headache inducing mid range O.C.D. music. Let’s get back to old school hip hop and dinosaur jr. tunes.

**EDIT - that throwaway nauseating end of the dubstep genre

I am probably accidentally guilty of this…..although I dont know what dubstep is hahah. who has a link to some classic dubstep?

As for hip hop…..ive used that as well but it always seems weird putting it to Australian snow edits, gangster stuff is even more ridiculous in my mind.

When I read the title of this thread, my first reaction was “HUH? You mean there’s actually such a thing as ‘good’ dubstep???”

dubstep is about 140ish bpm. based on reggae, kinda jungle, kinda dub, kinda garage - but using new school production. it came to light in about 2006 ish with wiley, benga, loefah and a few others, then more recently skream and a whole host of others. it’s spawned a whole bunch of sub genres and styles including people like Kito doing her electro/dubstep thing and Pendulums new outfit Knife Party and of course Skrillex who does .... umm…. not sure.

and gangster hip hop…. ugh woeful. if you need any aussie based instrumental hip hop then hit me up.

I agree that there is a hell of a lot of terrible dubstep out there. But there is also a lot of good stuff.

hahaha yes crackers. When you told me it was a new song from The Knife and then I heard it, I was pretty sure you meant Knife Party but you didn’t know who they were. hahaaha. Knife Party actually has at least one dude from Pendulum in it?

I don’t mind some dubstep, but it couldn’t ever come close to being all I listen to.

Opening track in Art of Flight makes me so amped!
