I am wondering if there is anybody else out there that doesn't seem to understand why early 2010's dubstep/drumstep/whatever is commonly kicked to the side nowadays. I've heard it referred to as sounding outdated, corny, etc. Maybe it is because I'm young, and wasn't there to experience the boom of electronic music online. Although growing up, I heard plenty of monstercat, NCS, and various artists that I still love today.
As a matter of fact, I wont listen to any NEW dubstep. I'm really picky when it comes to this genre. But I find myself only listening to music that was released from the years 2009-2016. Not to say all new EDM is bad, but I don't find myself loving it as much as the old stuff.
I also don't see why more people don't lean into that older sound when producing dubstep/other EDM. As someone who experiments with production on a regular basis, I suppose maybe the evolution of DAWs and plugins maybe has an influence. Especially when it comes to people calling it outdated.
Anyways, I just wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts on the matter. Or even if I could find anyone else who is like crazy into older dubstep! Also if anyone has any recommendations for old/old sounding dubstep? Thanks!
