Re: Favorite Music Genres

How and why did Dubstep become popular?! (not that I'm complaining, I love it)

Not sure, the genre is pretty much an acquired taste at least IMO, the more I listened to dubstep the more I really liked it. And not to mention, dubstep sounds AMAZING in my car stereo.

The more I listened to it the more I hated it. I don't really think Dubstep's an acquired taste.

And that is your opinion, and I was just saying mine.

Re: Favorite Music Genres

Metalcore - The Devil Wears Prada/August Burns Red/Asking Alexandria/etc.

Then we've got bands like Of Machines and Enter Shikari and Angels and Airwaves.

I'll listen to pretty much any alternative rock though. Oh and dubstep is only awesome when Enter Shikari infuses it with their music, otherwise it's really not that good...

Re: Favorite Music Genres

such a hipster response but the only "dubstep" i really like is burial (and he's barely dubstep either way)

anyways last.fm says thisa bout me:

"I'm into indie, rock, electronic, experimental and ambient"

i guess those are a few really broad genres

Re: Favorite Music Genres

Pretty much anything except all the mainstream crap that everyone else listens to... Such as Kanye West, and 50 Cent and all them. I used to listen to all Metal, Nu, Deathcore, Hardcore, etc... But now I only listen to it sometimes. I like some underground Rap such as Immortal Technique. But I listen to mostly Indie, and Classic Rock at this moment.

Re: Favorite Music Genres

I looked around the forums to see where I should post this, but looked like this would be good.

Just wanted to know what your favorite music genres are. I really like dance music so my favorite genres are: hardstyle, dubstep, jumpstyle, house, trance, techno, and DnB. Other than that I really only listen to alternative rock, some metal, jazz, and classical music.

i agree with you there should be like ELECTRO GENRE =]

Re: Favorite Music Genres

Some guy changed a Garage beat into a 2-step and then a couple other guys put other stuff with that 2-step, then people added effects and stuff, and then people heard about it and loved it... It's starting to become mainstream now since Excision was interviewed on MTV and it's been put in commercials and movies now.
