I remember back when this genre was known as Electro-Industrial. Not sure why the kids popularized this niche and renamed what was already for an entirely different crowd.
It was never known as Electro-Industrial…dubstep was adapted from old school jungle and 2-step about 10 years ago, then people like skrillex recently decided to try and ruin the genre by making noises that sound like someone shoved a fog horn up their arse and put it over a beat
Guy. 2-step, jungle, dubstep, they all fall under the metagenre of electro-industrial. So, it’s all electro-industrial. Like how emo is alt rock, black metal, speed metal, thrash metal is metal, house and electropop is electronica, etc. Subgenre differentiating is pointless when the meta saves you a lot of time hassle, although dumbass hipsters claim there to be relevance with the subgenre for the sake of the illusion of superiority.
Hey cool. Since we are doing this, can we finally get rid of lumping acts into a genre based solely around which language they speak? Art-School, Asian Kung Fu Generation is alt. rock tyvm, most J-Pop is electronica, etc. Either that, or now all English musicians will be E-genre, and all Americans will be A-genre.
Oldschool jungle?!! LMFAO, If by oldschool jungle you mean some oldschool jungle tracks had a kind of “wub wub” bit that was in about 1 out of every 50 songs… Kind of like every other electronic genre.
When I was your age (actually a lot older already), Dubstep was considered music with a very heavy bass that was so low, you couldn’t even hear it with laptop speakers.
Sheesh, kkds these days!
But he is right…. He could’ve picked a much better track by Skream or Benga (the founding fathers of dubstep) Skrillex and such artists aren’t Dubstep. Dubstep is a sub-genre, just like metal is rock but different black metal which is also rock. The main genre title is either Urban or Dub. Like Led Zeppelin is music and Justin Bieber… Isn’t
I’ve learned to become highly skeptical of things people call “genius”.
Krillsex is exactly what Korn needed, because people were losing interest in their music. So, they hired some flash-in-the-pan to buy them more publicity.
“Dubstep was considered music with a very heavy bass that was so low, you couldn’t even hear it with laptop speakers.”
Dubstep hipsters:
Dubstep with the bass in an audible frequency range is too mainstream. Real Dubstep bass can only be experienced through a US military sonic warfare system at which point you will feel dizzy and throw up shortly before your thoracic cavity explodes.
If you expect me to insist that you’re really good just because you insist you’re really bad, it’s not gonna happen. “No, it wasn’t that bad, really! I actually thought it was pretty good!”
Dubstep is such crap, and I’m sad that now it’s somehow considered legit and it isn’t cool to hate on it. In my day, you got to hate on anything electronica that happened after the ’80s, and had the agreement of your peers when ridiculing douchey European electronica. But now perfectly normal people with what should be a perfectly legitimate taste in music all ride your ass when you hate on dubstep – for absolutely no reason!
Why?
The submitter thinks this is a video of someone actually trying to pick up a girl.
Hint to the submitter and mods- this is a comedy video. It’s not a real situation, it’s not even trying to pretend to be real. Not a Fail.
If this is comedy – I’m the queen. Self-publicist youtube f*gs.
I love Jacksfilms. Just sayin’

Man, I hear ya. Kids today think Prodigy is a rapper, and Moby invented electronica music.
May I ask where you are from?

Thank you. Dubstep was never and will never be the same as Electro-Industrial.
If you know what Electro-industrial, dubstep, old school jungle, and 2 step are… it’s time to get a job.
What’s wrong with electro-industrial?
I don’t know *what* dubstep could be classed as except for nausea-inducing wracket.
To be fair, dubsteb is technically dance/pop/hiphop/electronica Fusion.

Urban, yo.
The two-step is popular again?
with cowboys
Oldschool jungle?!! LMFAO, If by oldschool jungle you mean some oldschool jungle tracks had a kind of “wub wub” bit that was in about 1 out of every 50 songs… Kind of like every other electronic genre.
What? I thought dubstep is something else…
Only clicked because of hot chick.
Hot chick’s YouTube channel name is ExoticJess
She’s way out of his league.
There are no leagues.
It’s a subleague of a bigger league. I don’t think we need them, but hipsters invented them to be elite.
Your mom wasn’t.
Only clicked for Jack…
dafuq..

When does the funny video start?
dubstep is almost 10YO around here…
Combined with breakbeat, drum & bass & dub, it’s a rave’s classic.
this ukf’ish crap hast nothing to do with dubstep.
THIS is dubstep.
Guess that’s why skrillex is popular. That thing is boring.
Proof that nothing can be posted on memebase called dubstep without some halfwit chiming in to denounce it as “not dubstep.”
But he is right…. He could’ve picked a much better track by Skream or Benga (the founding fathers of dubstep) Skrillex and such artists aren’t Dubstep.

This is def not dubstep
I watched both videos. I still don’t know. WTF is dubstep?!
Skream
Benga
Both plus one more, Artist, add Ms Dynamite
Dude, that’s not dubstep. Dubstep has way more bass no matter what. This is just a basic hip-hop/pop/dance beat.
skrillex is a genius and korn is exactly what he needed – i hope muse hire him next. imagine muse and skrillex
Why would Muse let some greasy hipster turn their amazing music into complete bat sh*t?
“Why would Muse let some greasy hipster turn their amazing music into complete bat sh*t?”

It worked. Sounds awesome.
Jacksfilms!
She kinda looks like Topanga (Danielle Fishel) from Boy Meets World.
Good post, Love it. Keep it up. I appreciate it.
Repetitive post. Hate it. Name links to spam. I don’t appreciate it.

Where did he get that T-shirt? Awesome.
Reblogged this on Atomic Thomas.
Oh I see. Hmm was it supposed to be funny?
This was really funny, thank-you guys for posting it.
