Dubstep appealing to Aspie's?

Post Reply New Topic

Before or after a stop in Ginza?

Depends on the song, but if it's a good one, YES - I love the visuals I get when I listen to dubstep.

AspieOtaku, you posted the two best songs in this thread, according to my personal taste.

Skrillex isn't good for me. Granted, he at least puts bass drops in, but he is very predictable and not that creative. He also puts too many dumb sound bites in his music. I remember when the Monsters and Sprites song first became popular; I couldn't handle the "OH MY GOD" in there. Why do I want to hear some stupid valley girl saying that? It ruins the song. I think his audience is probably very young or the type who would think that type of thing is funny or something.

yeah well, if you're looking for other types of music then dub step is not for you.
you can always click on the other vids at the top of the vid once its finished, I thought that Lindsey played the violin well

hell no, dubstep makes me anxious and eppileptic really fast; there is too much motion in it.
also, all the little attention-grabbing tidbits are all over the place, following them induces a lot of fatigue.

now, if it is in a vacuum i can 'tolerate' or 'survive' most forms of dubstep, but in social settings (bars/parties/gatherings/...) it is combined with an inhumane volume and strobelights. as soon as the bass drops, i'm outta there

The bleeps in dubstep are extremely irritating to me.

Dubstep is either insanely stupid or insanely sinister, nothing in between.

Can someone who has a good knowledge of dubstep explain all the subgenres to me? I have a hard time listening to a ton of crap just to find songs I like.

There is no sub genre music to explain Dubstep. You also don't have to be an expert either to realise that you feel the music as well as its visuals in order to grasp the basic content of the whole rhythm of dubbing.

Actually there is more than one type of dubstep.

As far as I know there is brostep, darkstep, deathstep, dungeon, liquid, glitchstep, drumstep...

Call it what you like but its no type of 'genre' its a mater of taste not a scientific opinion

To me, dubstep sounds like a fax machine trying to have sex with a modem. It grates on my nerves and I don't get the appeal. But to each his own.

Not especially, no. It is too unpredictable for me. I do, however, enjoy trance music. Trance is all about repetitive bits and slow ramp up to any change in melody. It is relaxing to me in a way that most other music is not.

I recently learned of a type of music called electro swing. It was an entirely accidental youtube discovery for me. I really like it. It's catchy and energetic. Swing beat and time signatures work pretty well in tandem modern electronic bass beats and so forth.

HAHAHA! I searched before starting my own thread to see if this had been addressed. I was wondering if dubstep was painful to other aspies, like it is to me. I describe it as robot sex, or sounds of the apocalypse. It *literally* makes me sick. My stomach knots as soon as those sirens kick in. Or the modem. I can't handle it. A song can be totally fine and then, BAM, they get those noises in there and it's all over. And I LOVED dance music pre-2010...
