@sarvo@novoa.nagoya Dubstep is cancer. Of course it spawns more cancer
nobody asked but as a musician i like talking about this shit
@sarvo @Weeble i view shit like this and noise music as musical palate cleansers. it's just hitting the reset button on your ears. it can be a good technique to use imo. even though it's a shit ton of stuff happening all at once, it sort of tricks your brain into a sense of calm. i can see myself sleeping to stuff like this at a low enough volume just because it becomes like a drone of sorts. there's some metal music that can do that to me as well. you don't have to think about a wall of sound, or a consistent thrumming rhythm even if it's heavily distorted, you just feel it, and it can feel pretty numbing, in a good way.
goreshit is mostly just breakcore though lol, and i don't see how that's necessarily a "child of dubstep." dubstep came later than stuff like breakbeat, jungle, and drum and bass did (or at least became popular after) and i feel like breakcore is more closely related to those.
i'd say dubstep is more like a sibling to breakcore. they came from the same parents and went in different directions. dubstep has a lot of focus on the drop and fun melodies with wub wub wub bass, whereas breakcore is all about the drum loops and creating a consistent atmosphere. the way they use samples is even pretty wildly different. samples in breakcore are interwoven throughout the entire song, whereas in dubstep they're more often used to highlight specific moments like the drop or an intro/outro, or the build up to a drop. dubstep is extremely memorable because of that, whereas breakcore goes a bit further into the "music made for musicians" side of things.
