I'm tired of hearing Dubstep... by Zintenka August 1, 2014 at 12:08 AM UTC

Seriously... it sounds like a robot having a seizure... or two robots having sexual intercourse. 

Its just noise in my opinion. Yes it has a melody. But its noise all the same.

Too many youtubers use it as an intro. I am going to have a hemorrhage if i hear it again!

This is bad news for Dubby :]

And what is the point of this topic?
What are you trying to tell us to do, stop using dubstep as an intro?
If you really do not like it, simply mute the video until the game starts and the commentating begins.

People use dubstep as an intro because it is very catchy to many people and really makes them feel more excited when they are watching something action-based such as PvP.

Zintenka August 1, 2014 at 12:08 AM UTC

Dubstep: "WOO! WOO! WOWOWOWOWOWWOOWWO! DOES NOT COMPUTE! ERROR! MALFUNCTION-WOWOOWOWWOWOWOWO!"

No, im just posting a topic. Its my opinion. You do have a point though.

Do not put words in my mouth, or in this case, words on my text. 

Anyway, yes it is up beat and stuff but how can anyone listen to it. Yes its sort of  catchy but... an extended period of time listening to that racket can, i bet, do some harm. (Wild guess)

Anyway, its gettin' really old and has no variation. Just the same "WOWOWOWOWAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Noise, but with a different melody.

You think Dubstep is all "robotic seizures?" Look up MrSuicideSheep. Biggest dubstep stereotype ever. Dubstep has feelings too >:c

That is your opinion and you are entitled to stating it.
I was simply giving you a reason for why some people listen to dubstep.

It gives me better pvp :P

MissCarmel August 1, 2014 at 12:08 AM UTC

This is a really negative topic and people are already getting a bit heated...

You were doing that and saying "Are you trying to tell us to stop listening it?"

That's putting words in my text :P

ViceTechnicolour August 1, 2014 at 1:08 AM UTC

I respect all genres, but it's not just Dubstep; a lot of the "wub" and "whirr" noises are in other EDM genres. If you want some EDM like... that's cool, try Nu Disco or Glitch Hop. Get funky!

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Everyone has there own interests in life, it just so happens that mine is Dubstep. No one can change a person for who they are. I respect everyone whether they like me or not, or even when they absolutely hate Dubstep.
It's just an interest of what people enjoy :P

I listen to trance for pvp, classical music does wonders too

goldenwalrus909 August 1, 2014 at 1:08 AM UTC

Meh, classical music is just too plain and straightforward.. 
I love the dubstep for the intricate confluence and complexity of notes and the energy it gives you o3o

Rave is where it's at man. If you need music, just talk to me.

Shoto_ August 1, 2014 at 1:08 AM UTC

I love EDM. Everything about it.
Tell me, what artist were you listening to? You obviously weren't listening to the right kind if it sounds like "a robot having a seizure... or two robots having sexual intercourse."

Kels August 1, 2014 at 2:08 AM UTC

Honestly, dubstep is the only good thing to put in intros. Would you like pop or rap music in an intro? Have eminem rap or have Miley Cyrus sing Wrecking Ball?

cinammoncroc000 August 1, 2014 at 3:08 AM UTC

Many people don't like dubstep - I respect that. There's always some debate over Dubstep vs. Classical, or even Dubstep vs. Anything, once you think about it. Personally I enjoy Dubstep; many people don't realize how technical and intricate most dubstep really is. The placement of kicks, snares, and hi-hats, the sound design and engineering of the electronically produced wobble bass synths, and not to mention the lengthy and often tedious process of mixing and mastering everything. Dubstep is one of the most difficult genres of EDM (and music in general) to produce simply because of how much work must be put into these tracks, and the artists who create great dub step tracks are very talented people and should be respected (excluding a few people *coughskrillexcough*.) And if you think "dub step" is all robotic sex noises and annoying mechanical noises, there are many types of dub step out there - the one you are talking about is most likely "brostep," somewhat of a sub-genre of the original dubstep that developed in the Americas and features heavier, more "electronic" sounding bass drops and synth noises. Things like chill step, melodic dubstep, and even drum step often feature more melodic and soothing synths versus UK dubstep and bro-step. But, if you feel that dubstep is not your music, I cannot change that and I have no intent on changing it. Listen to what you desire, but keep an open mind (and open ears.) It might just change your mind ;)

Hearing dubstep makes me better at pvp.

People have certain tastes to certain things. Some people like dubstep more than others. It really isn't a big thing to argue over.

Well, I prefer classical music for its... intricate confluence, complexity of notes, and the energy it gives me (déjà vu). Once you really start "getting into" classical music, typically by learning an orchestral instrument — the violin, in my case — you start to appreciate it more as you develop and mature in a technical sense and can more clearly "see" behind the notes.

For instance, when I first started learning how to play the violin, I was playing "notes, not music". Several years later, I can capriciously pick out and analyze a classical piece (such as one of my favorites, Romeo and Juliet, by Tchaikovsky) and say to myself, "Wow, this is so cool... the theme in the exposition represents this one character, which later gets restated multiple times in the development. These sonorous minor chords symbolize death. Counterpoint in the low strings here, syncopation in the upper strings there..." And so on.

As a musical arranger myself, I know from firsthand experience how much effort composers put into their work. It's almost an insult when people say that classical music is "boring" because of, in reality, how excruciatingly difficult it is to create one presentable piece. I've tried getting my friends' opinions on this sonata I reworked (from piano to string orchestra) to see how to improve it, but it's very annoying when none of them want to listen to it because "classical music sucks". Countless hours, practically wasted over the course of countless weeks, and all I hear is ungrateful ignorance.

In other words, if you think classical music is "plain and straightforward", you're either listening to the wrong kind — I think Baroque compositions (the oldest variety) are boring beyond comprehension, but Romantic pieces (during a period when composers wrote music to volitionally express emotions, not because their despotic leader asked for a song) usually sound heavenly — or not listening to it properly.

jojobloblo August 2, 2014 at 3:08 AM UTC

I love all types of music. I like any instrument, except for bagpipes and banjo (ow) and any genre. The only thing I don't like are really hard rock and country. I ain't no red neck daddy

TinyNitai August 2, 2014 at 4:08 AM UTC

I've listened to quite a bit of it, I consider myself an educated and dedicated audiophile and I try not to limit the possibilities of discovering new music, I really can't claim a whole music genre is bad, generalising is bad, I guide myself by artists more than genre, but I honestly can not stand dubstep :P

I do listen to some things that sound like Dubstep, like Aphex Twin, Working For a Nuclear Free City, Bonobo, Justice and Unforscene, some of them are a mix of Jazz, or Shoe Gaze with Trance and EDM, I saddly  haven't found yet one single person in MC that shares my taste in music, I guess I'm too picky.

Zedther August 2, 2014 at 4:08 AM UTC

I like drumstep, electro, and glitch hop..
listen to those

Ok, thanks for clearing all of that up :3
I totally respect your opinions and I think both type's people aren't being very understanding of eachother when they say one is better, they both seem like masterpieces to me. 
I think the thing for me is I don't really think about the music I listen to. I'm usually doing something and listen to it for some cool, fast-paced and exiting back-ground noise. 
Both pieces of music take a lot of knowledge, time, and effort to make and I feel like calling one "bad" is ridiculous. I just have a different taste than you, most likely from my siblings/friends even, so I like different types of music from their influence. Or maybe you were rebellious and liked classical music despite your family hating it. 
Both types of music are amazing, but since the only time I listen to music is when I'm doing something, I'd really like some cool sounding, fast-paced, music that I'm comfortable to listening to due to years of listening to it. 
Yet another post on this topic that was very well-said!
Nice job :3

FrozenSolstice August 2, 2014 at 7:08 AM UTC

As a writer, I learn to appreciate all music. If I write a ballroom scene, I'd listen to a waltz, a sword fight, I might listen to dubstep. It just depends.

Thanks. Perhaps i was listening to one genre. I mostly like things with "soul" like R&B or Jazz. And some very cool action music. I havent heard a lot of the music here, like "Trance" or "EDM". Boy, i need to catch up with this century...

LeCobalt August 3, 2014 at 4:08 AM UTC

Dubstep inspires mah pvp

Howsie August 3, 2014 at 6:08 AM UTC

Dubstep is only one genre of EDM, try other genres like progressive house or something calmer and less bassy.

JOHN_CENAAAAAAAA August 3, 2014 at 6:08 AM UTC

I agree with Howsie.  House, Progressive House, Nu Disco, maybe even some Electro.  Dubstep isn't the only type of EDM, and personally, it's not my favorite at all.  Try to expand your horizons, the world of EDM is fun!
