Having been a hobby producer since around 2010, I can say that it hasn't gotten worse or better, just different. Whereas in its earliest form it was about a vibe and a groove, it's become an exercise in sound design experimentalism. I think the flashpoint was with the release of the Serum VST. Since it functionally had infinite sound possibilities letting you import your own wave tables and having a built in effects suite, it became a one-stop shop. The real shifting point between old an new I believe happened in 2014 with the Untitled DJ Tool/Terror Squad. That sonically set the stage for the next 5 or 6 years, whereas now riddim and more minimalist styles are making a return. Leaning into vibes and grungey sounds.
When dubstep is referred to as “classic” you know we’re in the future Edit: wouldn’t it be funny if I edited this to thank people for liking it, I couldn’t
I hate riddim almost all riddim song have the same rythm just diferent sound meanwhile brostep has more complex rythm and more diverse sounds.but thats just my taste everyone have a diferent taste in music.
Everyone's talking about whether they like classic or modern dubstep and I'm just here like "whoa... the transitions from classic to modern dubstep in this video are really well done." Nice job Zayto!
And that's what I thought EDM was all about: "Everyone Desires Music" And no-one should be made to feel like bad for what they like. Especially in the world of this music style. Am I wrong?
There was a point in time where I really wanted to produce dubstep, and I knew that if I wanted to get a grasp of the what the sound is, I had to go back in time and really hear it’s origin of sound. And it’s crazy how the sound evolved throughout the years for better or worse. I really compare it to the evolution of metal, being a metalhead as well
Classic Dubstep: Let’s create a flow using a single wobble bass throughout the track, while still making it enjoyable. Modern Dubstep: *wait so what’s the main bass again?*
@@purplehumanz dsg is the uploader, he doesn't make the songs on his channel (most of them anyways) Did you mean his community with the same old jokes?
Jergen Progressive I highly doubt we got to the point we’re dupstep could be a substitute for the Doomsound track, that shit is way beyond aggressive one of mick Gordon’s song was literally based of a chainsaw
I'm not a producer so I might be talking shit but I also feel part of the charm is the older tracks were made using more basic equipment and they end up with this organic feeling
Classic dubstep producers: noooo!!!!!!1!!!! You can't just make noises on a drum beat! You need a melody and sub bass!!! Modern dubstep producers: haha Virtual Riot serum presets go screeeeeee
@@jjpelham7548 It.... It was a joke. I have a lot of respect for modern dubstep producers, but most people who aren't into dubstep will say it sounds like noise. Also, sidechain is when you compress the melody when the kick hits, so you can create a pulsing effect
@@ChrisD__ I was just watching "all my homies hate skrillex" sortof youtube video documentary, I highly recommend watching it thought that it would give you a bit more insight to why tho. isa great video
The classic dubstep is kinda relaxing. The modern dubstep is really agressive, like I'm going to have a gruesome street fight or extreme muscle exersices🤔 But still, I love both💙
hi there because it’s basically the definition it’s like.. I don’t know it’s so stupid it’s literally saying you can’t have something without a prerequisite like that’s literally so stupid does that make sense I don’t quite know how to explain it
This vid really shows the changes well, but if I have to give critique, At least TRY to get different styles of modern dubstep. Bukez finezt was a nice addition, but there's so many more creative people out there who don't make the same old DSG esque dubstep lmao
When you say say "dsg dubstep" I'm guessing you just mean brostep, which I like way more than riddim/briddim/tearout and has way more creative possibilities imo.
Witch is weird considering that in the past classic Dubstep was considered noise/heavy i mean idk what they will do if they listen modern Dubstep at that time
I feel like classic dubstep was just playing around with the different sounds you could make, and modern dubstep is using what you learned to get a specific reaction
classic dubstep : *calmly fills a water gun* modern dubstep: *starts blasting the heck outta an AA-12* classic dubstep: *peacefully vibing* modern dubstep: *MONKE TIME*
Modern dubsteo is certainly more layered, intense, and chaotic now. While I like it more, modern dubstep artists need to know when too much is *too much* We dont need your entire synth library, make it high energy and wild but dont add noise just to add noise
ppl in the comments: wow modern dubstep is pretty aggressive Deathstep: allow us to introduce ourselves... Edit: holy shit thats the biggest amount of likes i got- hey pls check my deathstep im a small artist girl tryna get a little traction ._.)
Best dubstep is middle age dubstep. Like in between 2012 and 2016. Those tracks are just pure gold. Dubstep bass with cool and complicated melodies and it becomes magical. Change my mind.
What tracks are you talking about? I like the music but I don't know specific songs and I'm trying to put some on a playlist. I like hip hop type of beats. Excision is somebody I gravitate to.
Ikr? I love the style they had back in the days, there is very good tracks like Barely Alive - Elephant, Virtual Riot - Beyond, Zomboy - Back Once Again
@@slicedbread5692 Noisia - Tommy's theme Intense - Dawn Mantis - Insomnia Flinch - Light it up Uppermost - Hear rate Paramore - Still into you (synchronice remix) Arkasia - New world Disorder. Example - Perfect replacement. (This one has hip hop in it) Are some of my personal favs
@@fag9976 he changed it from "Soviet" to "soviet russia" after i wrote the comment but Russian republic as a part of the soviet union didnt have its own anthem only the soviet union itself had
Interesting that all the modern ones you chose brostep and only brostep. I think you should have had a few riddim, deathstep, tearout and trapstep songs in there to further show how much the genre has evolved and branched out for a more accurate comparison
@@Artersa riddim is stuff like Jakes, Subfiltronik, AD, Shiverz, Akira, Badphaze, Phex, brostep is anything you hear on Disciple, Never Say Die (except some Black Label stuff)
Classic: We only need a wobble here. Modern: let’s add a wobble here and there and there and there and there and there and there and there. That should be good. Wait, there and there and there and-
It doesn't matter what generation you prefer, y'all should respect both, especially classic dubstep. In the classic, the samples, technology and techniques were pretty limited yet these artists managed to make a whole song out of it. Modern it's much more elaborated and heavy (most of the times), with much more quality, samples and vocals. Yet, without mattering all of this, both are amazing. Without Classic Dubstep we probably wouldn't be here and all these artists wouldn't exist in the first place. And without the revolution of Skrillex (Modern Dubstep), this genre most probably wouldn't have the attention it has from the new generations.
The thing is the examples of modern dubstep used in the vid are almost all of artists using old 2012-2014 styles, like literally one is a tribute to 2014-2015 Virtual Riot, so the differences are not even that extreme. "Modern" dubstep is much better exemplified by artists like Svdden Death, Samplifire, Calcium, and Zomboy. All these artists are still very mainstream/generic sounding and still push the limit on sound design/arrangement way more than the examples do. And that's not even getting into modern sub genres like riddim (ie: Infekt - Rumble) and hybrid bass (ie: Dirty Audio - Bahebe).
@@elliotberg4572 The most of the more established artists in dubstep now started making music because of people like Rusko and Skrillex, so yeah, it might be considered a different genre of sorts but classic dubstep still gave modern dubstep its start.
The history of dubstep: Dubstep then: wub wub wub wwoww wwoww wowowowowowow Skrilles: I'm gonna do what's called a pro gamer move Dubstep now: *SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE WRRAAAAWRRAAAWRRRAAAA SKREEEEEEEEE YOYYY YOYY RRRRRRRRRIARRRARAA*
even then, When Skrillex did all that, it worked. when people impersonate his style you end up with what we have today, It's no wonder he dropped making dubstep tracks.
@@acidducks9476 More like: Some of his early songs are more classical but later evolve and break into modern variations. Also get heavier as time goes on (Guess more layers)
I like both for different reasons. Classic dubstep definitely has a better flow and is easier to listen to, while I also respect the hell out of the level of detail in the sounds in some of the modern dubstep. Both have their strong points, and I just love the genre overall.
How to make Morden dubset: Step 1. Make a song like(Pwwwwdhudhudhubooombaaamsmahsmah) Step 2.get an anime wallpaper like(Zerotwo, 02, darling in the franxx girl with pink hair) Step 3. Uplode it on youtube
A lot of the classic tracks you picked were already getting called “brostep” in their day. Important to the “classic dubstep” you picked is that lots of tracks didn’t even have distorted wobble basslines. If you listen to Mala, Kode9, Benga, 2562, Silkie etc, there was a TONNE of groove and the bass was only “audible” with subwoofers or good headphones. For the curious listener, I think you’ll find something there worth exploring that the maker of this video left out. They’re two different universes going by the same name. Maybe also playing both “classic” and “normal” at comparable volumes would help. :)
To be honest, about 70% of the modern dubstep that i find have the same quarter note flow. It would be good if more producers tried to use more variety on their songs.
