Dubstep...

Out of all the media I consume on an average day, I felt it necessary to post about Dubstep, and how it's beginning to make its way into the mainstream. This track is called "Gizmo" and the artist is a DJ referred to as Datsik. Personally, I like Datsik, and all the tracks he has written because of his ability to be creative while still keeping the simplicity. Artists like Skrillex, use much too many sounds in their music for my taste. Even though I'm being slightly hypocritical, for talking about effort and experience going into making real music in other posts, I still think of Dubstep as music. Even though it's made in a similar way to pop music, I preffer the sound of Dubstep much more.

Pop music and Dubstep are starting to integrate their styles thus moving Dubstep up the popularity charts. One place that I alone have begun to hear more Dubstep, is at the movie theatre, during the movie previews. It seems as if all action movies are using Dubstep to bring out their movies' excitement. This just proves how trends and young culture are constantly evolving, and  is unpredictable because when cool is discovered, it's no longer cool. This movement reminds me of the video Merchants of Cool, that we watched in class, and how much different the trends were back 10 years ago. It's the same situation with music, it's always going to be changing.
