Why is Vinyl Scratch associated with dubstep?

[Vinyl Scratch. 604]

EDIT:This is going of strictly canon evidence

 

Okay lets get a few thing's straight, first of all, Vinyl scratch is a "DJ" not a music producer which everyone appears to think. 

Now I don't know about you but I don't know many DJ's that get hired to mix dubstep. Sure, there might be a few out there but they're not common. 99% of DJ's will mix "dance music" not dubstep. And please don't tell me that there are people out there who think dubstep is dance music, because I really don't want to have to slap a bitch.

So, Most DJ's mix dance music. So it's easy to assume that Vinyl would be the same. I don't know where this dubstep stuff came from, but it doesn't really make much sense to me.

And the thing that pisses me of the most!

DJ's and Music Producers are not the same thing!

Everyone who think's that she is a Music Producer.

Music Producers don't turn up at clubs and parties with a set of turntables and a mixer! And as you should remember from that one episode where at the end all the posh ponies and the mane 6 are partying and Vinyl is there. She is standing behind a set of turntables! And in the newer episode where they try and teach rainbow dash stuff and pinkie does the rap. Again, Vinyl is standing behind Turntables!

Also the name DJ-Pon3 kind gives the fact that she's a DJ away too.

 

So to sum it up: (Skip to here if you're lazy)

>Vinyl is a DJ not a Music producer

>DJ's will (99% of the time) be mixing dance music

>Dubstep is not dance music

>Therefore Vinyl + Dubstep = No logic

 

Okay, that's my rant over

 

Peace out

What about Skrillex? He does dubstep and his music is dance-floor oriented.

You're argument's invalid.

So I know a lot of people consider Skrillex as electronica, not specifically Dubstep. People like Mitis and Tut Tut Child are considered Dubstep artists. Their music uses dance beats as a base, so Dubstep does have a connection with danceable beats.

This happened because of the fan base and still have no logical reasoning behind it

@,

I still stand by the fact that when you go to a club, you will hear mostly House music and not people flopping about to dubstep

That is true what you say about the clubs, but honestly, what you here most are just remixes of popular mainstream songs, which drives people to those clubs. Personally, I would rather hit up a rave or a paint party where it's more heavy than it's more customer based cousin.

Aw it's nothing special, it's just my BASS CANNON!!

[Ribbonfree 2,383]

I view it as a strictly fanon thing, in reality I doubt dubstep as a genre even canonically exists in Equestria, they don't seem to have the prerequisite tech levels.

I think people associated her with dub step because she has kind of a raver look to her. And honestly it suits her.

[Fluttershyfan94 5,738]

Electronic dance music.

 

Dubstep is also EDM so it's one of the dance music sub-genres.

 

Anyway, it's mostly because she's a DJ and dubstep is probably one of the most known genres of electronic music. Also with all the "Drop the bass" jokes, so it's not strange she is associated with dubstep. I think it's mostly because of the whole bass cannon thing. Besides as a DJ she would be mixing genres so dubstep could be mixed with something else. The drop or build up and etc. Also DJ's mix what they want so it's not limited. I think it's also just her rave appearance, dubstep and raves. So yeah I think it's mostly just because it's one of the most known genres.

I am not saying you will find people dancing Dubstep at a club, you will find them dancing to Club Beats. All i was saying was that Dubstep and Club Beats are offshoots of Dance Beat based music.

@@Vinyl Scratch., you expect logic while your own logic is invalid. You assume that Vinyl Scratch could have only one of these jobs: that she's either a DJ, or a music producer. That is, you use it as if it were an exclusive or, while it might rather be the plain or where both options can be valid at the same time (they don't have to be both true, but it is allowed). It's like saying that Vinyl Scratch cannot live with Octavia because she's a DJ: one doesn't necessarily exclude the other.

 

As to the main question (why DJ PON-3^[1] is associated with Dubstep in particular): I think this is simply that popular things attract each other. Ponies are popular. DJs are popular. Dubstep is currently popular in the mainstream. So it is quite natural to guess that people liking ponies (one of the popular things) who also like Dubstep (another popular thing) will once mix these two. The same goes with ponies and fedoras, ponies and moustaches, ponies and steampunk, ponies and popular video games etc.

I think it's a fanon thing that we put together, from the music that she produces.

Fanbase. Fanbase everywhere.
