It’s the only case I know where the industry tried to steal the identity of a genre and replace it with something completely else, whilst believing that only the tempo and simple two-step rhythm are the basis for a dubstep track, while missing the whole point of the roots of the genre, the movement, the soundsystem culture and most important of all the message it translated by uniting people through bass. This will be a chaotic one, so try to bare with me.
This should definitely be in the past, as I believe that genres and styles are meant only to direct you in similar kinda music, but when it comes to dubstep, shit literally gets all over as the damages the industry has done to the genre can be explained as identity theft and replacing a whole bass movement that gradually evolved with roots since the late 90’s, with something that’s plastic and overly hyped over the night. Written on by Andrijan Apostoloski Bushiīecause dubstep hasn’t died for a brief second, but took its beating from the music industry, I’m going to try to defend it and give you an insight of how things were always standing with this specific genre in mind and how the word dubstep ended up being a dirty word in the electronic music scene even today.
