For this one, I've chosen a genre that isn't really my cup of tea, but hey, I'm always open to having my mind changed. 🙂 I'm no expert, and while Dubstep may have hit other parts of the world faster, I think it really came into vogue stateside closer to the 2010s... either that, or maybe I just became aware of it while I was in college. Skrillex and Bassnectar are the names that come to mind for me. And the sounds that I think of are big wobbly basslines + wicked buildups and drops that give way to these unhinged lazer-like noises along with other wild sound effects and samples. Even though I admitted it's not my favorite genre, it can be pretty awesome pump-up music. Anyway, I'd love to hear your favorite tunes from the genre and what your take on dubstep is. As always, feel free to step outside the confines of the selected genre and share whatever you wanna. Let's do this! 🙌
