      Ugh...the dubstep craze has taken over MPLS as well.

      For me it's only listenable for a short bit. Hopefully it'll pass away as did the electro influence from the mid 2000s.

                  Dubstep seems to have sneaked up on us, also to be 'popular' in Shanghai and in Singapore. It's certainly not as popular like trance and r n b or the DJs in the top 100, but for some reason people seem to have picked it as the latest 'underground' fad to be nuts over.

                  Did dubstep come out of drum n bass? Always reminds me of drum n bass + electro influence.

                  I got pics and video. But I will upload them in the morning. I need to smoke this nice phat joint and just close my eyes and replay the amazingness in my head.

                      ^ I never got into that plur culture at raves.

                      Yeah I don't know why dubstep got so popular recently, but seems like a lot of people in my generation are into it. Dubstep and electrohouse are two genres I can't seem to get into.

                          Fuckin nutta!

                          Dubstep's been pretty big for ages, always been a sleeping giant in the EDM scene. Always thought it to be a mix of breaks and jungle/dnb but these days it's just seems like a mix of annoying grime with ,,,electro.

                          The recent popularity I think should be blamed because of Radio 1 and Radio 1 alone. Every second song is a bloody dub.

                          The One contains the Many, and the Many contains the One:

                            Its like the retarded red headed disabled step child at school becoming popular and getting a date with the prom queen. Never saw it coming.
