its weird how all the unpopular kids in high school "won" but it turns out that winning just means that jocks dress like you and listen to the same music you do

max otm — my pithy comment of choice for summing up this situation was "it turns out everyone and everything you run away from eventually follows you to the places you made cool"

have you... made internet message boards cool?
― history mayne, Monday, 14 March 2011 12:46 (thirteen years ago) link
well this was framed more in terms of cycles of gentrification and 'urban renewal' & shit, but i think it obviously applies metaphorically to certain aesthetic choices
not sure whether 'posting on an internet message board' is one of those choices tho
― hipsters be comin' to the hipster-hop store (bernard snowy), Monday, 14 March 2011 12:51 (thirteen years ago) link
number of college students posting on this thread and board is miniscule I am assuming (number of high school student likely even smaller)

btw just for further context on the demographics in question: the highest-voted comment* on that skrillex vid nabisco posted yesterday was (paraphrasing from memory) "Skrillex, I'm taking you into custody... for causing the Japanese earthquakes!"
(not tryna be all cap'n-save-a-public-decency here, but i generally prefer my tasteless humor to be a bit more clever than "lol this bass kills ppl" (but then again, that comment was probably posted by a 15-year-old))

^ listening back through something like this ... the big-wobbly-bass thing around 0:40 is obviously what I'd think of as dubstep, but so much other stuff -- the electroish sound palette, the regularity of the beats -- always makes me think of it some other way. (informative thread! learning and whatnot!)

the dubstep bass-drops are such a weird motif to orient an entire genre around imo
― deej, Sunday, March 13, 2011 4:04 PM (Yesterday) Bookmark Suggest Ban Permalink
to me, tempo and beat-style is a more important connection between the different kinds of dubstep that we're talking about (compared to sound palette/LFO-based basslines). at this point anything hovering about 140 bpm is going to be called dubstep.
― adult music person (Jordan), Monday, 14 March 2011 17:59 (thirteen years ago) link
like how anything around 120 with a four-on-the-floor kick is going to be talked about in terms of "house", whatever little subgenre it might occupy.

btw this thread is totally otm about dubstep in the u.s.. i only became aware of it a few months ago...i mean, i consider myself a dude keeps up with electronic music, i've got a vested interest in it, but i live in a midwest college town and was like "who are these dudes (like skrillex) selling out large-to-huge venues here whose names i've never even heard?"

the only person i know who listens to childish gambino praises him as the savior of "real rap" without having really listened to the genre. hates lil wayne too.
what was mike posner and kid cudi last year is mac miller and wiz khalifa this year. Fresh on Campus seems to be the go-to blog for this kind of crowd.

I thought the skrillex song was okay at first but I kind of hate how telegraphed the bass drop is, it's so functional
also it's probably shitty youtube qualiy but the mixing sounds like shit, all mid-high bass with no real bottom end - I'd have to listen to a HQ version to be sure, but it sounds like it was mixed to sound good on those cheap 400 watt computer speaker systems you can buy, which emphasize mid-bass
― dayo, Tuesday, 15 March 2011 08:38 (thirteen years ago) link

We have meanwhile been thinking in Dublin that what the world really needs is a compilation of white scobie rap from around the world - people like Die Antworte, Goldie Looking Chain, and The Rubber Bandits. There must surely be equivalents in Australia.
