You're missing the point.... if they're on ket, they could be sat in a corner 'looking' a bit bored.... when they could have having the time of their lives in the own heads.
No, your missing the point, you are speculating, Im simply stating what was heppening, People wanted to see Deadmau5, he should of been in the main room...

what it says to me is that radio one listeners prefer deadmau5, not that dubstep is hype. radio 1 basically caters for a commercial scene which deadmau5 well and truly belongs to. they obviously got their programming wrong, but the type of person who goes to a radio 1 event in ibiza is going to want the flashy lights, the big tunes the whatever. Not the urban moodiness.
if they were playing classical music in the main room, would the muted reaction suggest that classical music is all hype?
Interesting, so why did radio 1 have a dubstep room then if it wasnt for their listeners? whilst obviously Deadmau5 is a bigger brand to you average joe clubber, so is the general appeal of his style of music, none of this is surprising...
Classical music in main room, your being pedantic, we can go round the houses, what we both know is, you can tell when the vibe is crap in a room & when it isnt & this was the case.
A chap at work is seriously in to this. He plays it on his PC and it sounds like every kind of emergency service siren is passing slowly up the road whilst a one-man-band runs to keep up. But then I am very old now.....
Yeah that's the very bad type of dubstep. The good type is the more subtle relaxed stuff with drums that are actually interesting, and sub bass rather than all midrange screech 
The 'golden' age of DnB was1995/61992 to2003/41997. The shite that Pendulum / Chase & Status put out now is shocking compared to LTJ Bukem, Nookie, Technical Itch, Photek....
Spot on Mr A.
What the hell is Dubstep?
Noisy shite, like dnb became before it. (On the whole although obviously there are exceptions.)
[quote]I dunno, but recently got a copy of Wu Tang clan meets the Indie Culture - Enter the Dubstep, and that is pretty cool....
True, the instrumentals is very good as well. Bits of Enter the Dubstep are weak agreed, but much of it is great (IM rather uniformed O)

Very much lol at this.. excellent image
There are some decent Dubstep tunes
I, coming from a clubbing background, but listening to a lot of music of all genres, have listened to a lot of dubstep lately in an attempt to find something I like, that resonates, that turns me on.
It doesn't, it's boring.
Youth culture is over, which is a tragic shame and probably as big a disaster as global warming.
The banality of house music is probably to blame and it's probably my generation's fault.
Sorry.
charliemungus hit the nail on the head up there ^
The things that are called dubstep nowadays is sellout garbage that has a flashy new name stuck to it. popstep would be more appropriate than dubstep for most new stuff, but that genre wouldnt sell as many records...
A damn shame.
It's a shite form of Trance just like drum and bass was.
When this gets thrown into a mix i dont complain,especially this version. Flame me!
Ah ok so its music that some we like and some won't, wrapped up in a 'genre' so that people can feel special and cool for saying they like that type of music.

Wow major lack of musical understanding there. 
Wow major lack of musical understanding a clue there. 
Fixed!

I think it's less about seeming special and cool, more about defining a mutual interest and finding some common ground in areas which may not use things like artist names as the main frame of reference. But you're right, anyone who likes music you haven't heard of is probably a great big ponce.
Too right. Personally, I only listen to stuff listed on disappearupyourownarsehole.blogspot
Few days late, but got emailed link to Spin's article about
What is dubstep?
(no, I didn't ask, you late to threaders, you)
What are the hardcore dubsteppers opinions on this?:

This is where it is at.

I mentioned Nero earlier in this thread didn't I?
IMHO Anything that appears on UKF is utter w@nk. Dubstep aint dubstep anymore thanks to Skrillex, Borgore & Co.
The sooner this bubble for this shit bursts the better.
Sweet baby jesus, that Nero tune is me miserable at the moment. Goldie may have been an extra in Eastenders but he never stooped that low.
That said, having had a nose on Soundcloud I'm not convinced it's an utterly worthless genre.
The term 'Dubstep' has come to cover a massive range of music. I'll admit that I'm not so keen on a lot of newer stuff, but there are still some quality tunes being produced (the Flux remix posted by Deveron53 being one of them). Dubstep for me is more this sort of thing:

For the full Dubstep experience, it really needs to be played loud, on a proper set of speakers (so you can fully appreciate the sub bass), whilst you are severely medicated.
Hi Jamz.
I put the Flux 'Cracks' on as I liked it but didn't understand what the Dubstep genre was.
I must admit, I don't really like most of the stuff posted on this thread! I think I've passed over the magical wall into 'too old' now...
This is where it is at.
Kind of sums up everything that's wrong with the genre.
One of the few good artists IMO, but then again maybe not strictly dubstep.
That UKF killsonik remix is shocking! Cmon. Got to be a pisstake? lol.
A shame Nero is in the title compared to the mj cole remix.
dubstep is **** amazing. Fire up an old modem or phone a fax machine while smashing yourself in the the face with a hammer and you'll get what its all about.
Good stuff.

but you end up repeating yourself when you start smashing your face with a hammer. I`ll choose to die wondering ;O)

It's the sort of sound that can be heard when all the household appliances in the local currys come to life, after closing time, and get it on.
sounds like a broken hard drive -f@#king garbage!
And you sound like my dad. HTH.
I think the 'hardcore' dubstep has spawned a newer, more commercial version. This happens in all musical genres. There was raw punk and there was commercial punk. There is extreme heavy metal and more commercial metal.
