I best pay attention if my conscious thinks it's important or fun.

Anything else becomes white noise, and my attention gets kinda bad if I'm doing multiple things at once while someone is talking to me 

I agree, he's a great character, though a little too petty sometimes. And he makes people know about it 

I think I might prefer him in his villain state, though only just a bit more over his reformed state. Really snarky and clever, he was.

Still funny how he tried calling her weak and helpless but it didn't affect her because she already was self aware of that. He should've hit her with how her kindness was hurting others somehow, that would've made her panic like everyone else so he wouldn't have had to forcibly turn her. But then again, we wouldn't have that awesome scene! 

As for ships, well I guess it's open to interpretation if they're just friends or something more 

I sleepy, so mayhbe I sleep or at the very least I'm laying in bed

Welcome dear Princess! *bows*

I have a question. Do you like my dreams? Are they entertaining enough???? I NEED TO KNOW

I don't mean the soundtrack composed specifically for games. Just songs which were licensed out to a game, even if it were for something else but they bought the license to use it in another game. Which ones have your favorite licensed soundtrack, even if the game isn't necessarily perfect?

Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005) gets that award from me. It's quite diverse in it's fairly small selection, fits the atmosphere of the game really well in many parts of the game, and given the context that the game was developed in under a year and they chose these songs within the last few weeks of the game's release, it makes the selection really impressive to me. The times that I go back to play the game, I make sure to change the settings within EA TRAX to have them all play everywhere and at random.

I'm feeling a bit lazy to post links to the songs so here's just a list of the licensed songs in the game, of course all of them have edited for the game in one way or another:

Dubstep seems to be defined by having modulated bass, but just because something has modulated bass doesn't make it Dubstep, just as having a electric guitar doesn't make something Metal.

Because Dubstep only really has one defining feature, can it really be called a genre? You can't really have a song that's completely made of modulated bass (well, you can, but it would suck). Most Dubstep songs still have drums, so wouldn't that make them Drums & Bass as well? Of course, that's become its own genre, Drumstep, which is actually pretty good, IMO.

 

tl;dr - There aren't enough defining features to Dubstep for it to be its own genre.

Dubstep is a genre of it's own, which was developed from DnB (Drum 'n Bass) back in the days.

Dubstep directly comes from 2-step garage/UK garage, not directly from DnB though it was one of a few indirect influences due to it being part of the same rave culture.

The most noticeable difference is the drums being played in halftime, and not immediately obvious (sometimes) is the large influences from dub and other dancehall subgenres. This is due to a collision of UK rave culture and Jamaican soundsystem culture colliding in the UK just as the 2000's rolled around (generally speaking though it was already kinda fused anyways with hardcore and jungle). There were also other influences too, like techno and Chicago footwork/juke.

It's literally just fusing "dub" and "2-step," hence the name "dubstep" because of elements of both styles coming together.

Plus, at the popular clubs back then (again, this was the 90s/00s), apparently people were getting sick of how commercial UKG had become. So, darker songs were welcomed to contrast the "posh" atmosphere that had formed over UKG.

My guess on why artists like Skrillex and Flux Pavilion got so big is because of poor quality home speakers and the rise and ease of access that Youtube has as a music promotion platform. Other than great marketing and being there at the right place, right time, of course.

With the latter in particular, the higher frequencies from screeching basslines come through a lot better on those home speakers (and cheap headsets too!) than the really low sub frequencies that dubstep was known for in clubs. So, as a result anything and everything that had some screeching synth in it had been called dubstep as the 2010s came around, regardless if it were actually electro house, DnB, or whatever else. 

Dubstep artists by then were already adding more "wub" over "sub" by that point anyways. Coki is a great example with his songs "Spongebob" and "Goblin"

Dubstep uses certain elements that most other forms of EDM don't.

Wobble bass (wubs) are used throughout most of the piece.

"Wobble" and "wubs" and whatever else don't necessarily need to be part of it at all. They're just added for an added "Wow!" factor to make it more and more gnarly, just to make the crowd go wild. It's generally been a thing 20+ years ago and still a thing for producers to do today.

You can have a sine wave playing underneath acting as the bass and it's enough to qualify as dubstep, as long as the "otherworldly" or "space-like" nature of dub and some variant of the UKG drum pattern are present at minimum.

Plus, other electronic genres had used wubs and such when dubstep was still in it's infancy (the turn of the 90s/00s), DnB being the best example I can think of right now.

Do you have any pets?
