What's wrong with hipsters, why do people seem to hate them so much?

I think it's the attitude that they're expected to give to common people. I've never seen anyone fit the trope exactly, though.

Is it just me, or is the dubstep trend really annoying?

it's just you. But it is very repetitive. I went to a party where it was all they played and it got pretty old pretty fast.

Do you mean Dubstep or fan of Skrillex's massive shit noises called songs type "Dubstep"?

It's pretty much non existent here~!..Well as far as I know. My social life is pretty much cremated and scattered anyway.

I thought the UK was the hub for dubstep...

I have to agree that although it can be good sometimes, a lot of the stuff people play all the time is mostly the same overblown and annoyingly repetitive stuff over and over. Most of what's popular is what dubstep traditionalists (that is, those who listen to the underground experimental breakbeat + D&B + grime combo originally called "dubstep") refer to as "brostep": a way to make dubstep appeal to all those common club kids in the US.

Dubstep was born there yet has pretty much remained mostly underground (with a verystrong fanbase, though). "Brostep" is the popular American approximation that often draws criticism from older dubstep fans.

Dubstep was killed before it even had a chance.

I listen to Mala, Loefah, Benga and Kromestar. I have some skrillex but he got old real quick.

Pink Floyd, Elton John. those are my two main ones that I listen too. Country, soft rock are second thing I listen too. Basically anything that has a good rhythem.

That's Brostep, hun.

The only times I've ever heard Skrillex were through the numerous Skrillex tribute YTPMVs.

I work at a radio station.
We play modern rock during my shift. Something called Hotmix when it is not my shift.
To be honest I find that modern rock is terrible.

It's all just wrist cutting whiners and guys who hate... Somebody who they're not identifying.
Fuck that shit.
Why do people want to hear "I'm cutting my wrist because this teenaged drama is too much." or "I HATE YOU UNIDENTIFIED ASSHOLE!"?
Also, the rap music (played during the hotmix) is all just the same 3 subjects over and over from rap artists who fail at being original and totally reinforce stereotypes.

Anyway, it's money in my pocket.
Hell, I'd play "Wub wub wub wub wub I LOVE MY TRACTOR! Wub wub wub wub" (country dubstep) if I was getting a paycheck.

Anyone else feel the same way about any of that?
Anyone else have any counter points?

by **Triodard and Florard** » Wed Feb 29, 2012 2:43 pm

I really listen to everything. Except country and screamo.

hmm I guess I can try to argue this...

That's a terrible generalization. There's plenty of bands writing music that's not about any of that. I'd give you a list and link samples but I wouldn't know where to start.

ROBOTIC-O-ROTICA wrote:Why do people want to hear "I'm cutting my wrist because this teenaged drama is too much." or "I HATE YOU UNIDENTIFIED ASSHOLE!"?

Because music is supposed to evoke an emotion, and that's what the band writing the songs feels.

Play different rap.

Why would you bring it up then?

Radio stations are kinda awful, yo!

Most DJ's are only allowed to choose the tracks they play from a set list.

Which is shit but yeah.

I don't like either. Rap is just repetitive and honestly just bad rhyming.
'shivers.'
My brother is starting to do that sooner or later he's going to regret it.

repition isn't inherently bad, rhyming isn't inherently good, sweeping generalizations are inherently terrible~!

my repition I ment like the same phrase over and over and over for about 5min. I mean I'm in band and on occasion we have to play repetitive parts, but they last only 4 measures. Which is not that long.

what?

Sometimes a lot of repetition helps the music. If it switches too much it gets to antsy.
