Ah Dubstep. Reminds me of a few weeks ago some friends were down from Calgary, all of them really big into this stuff, I was driving everyone to the bar that night and someone grabbed my iPod that was playing over the stero and said "dude, why don't you have any dubstep?" My response was "what the f*&k is dubstep?!".
Anyway yeah not a fan.

Some dubstep is alright. I like the dubstep with Hip Hop lyrics or quotables mixed in. I really really don't like the mystical crap (i.e., Bassnectar's early stuff)

You arn't listening to it the right way, you have to have gone through 4 or 5 cans of stella a crap load of special K and be smoking a macca spliff to fully appreciate its charm, oh and it has to be played ear splittingly loud at some club as well.
Define impressive? I guess he gets the job done for the genre but I watched those two videos and IMO, he's not doing anything truly impressive. I'd give his playing a 3/10 for difficulty. He might have more skill than that, but his performance was very straight forward.
Welcome to the world of metal drumming (Maybe a 9/10):
I can't explain this video at all, but since we are talking drums (1/10 but 10/10 for being out there!):

The thing about metal drumming is I can admire it but it doesn't strike me as drumming, in that I can't really hear a rthym or a beat in it, its just alot of fast nothing
Joe Morrrelo of the Dave Brubeck Quartet is superbly understated, most metal drummers could do with being locked in a room with Take 5 played repeatedly for a week or two.

Metal can have really obvious beats or something more subtle (I posted a high skill level drummer). What I embedded has a massive beat, but it takes a while to figure it out. Sepultura has always been known for the difficult drumming and the great beats. This song reflects that well:
It's really pretentious to me the way that every time a slight variation occurs, it becomes it own genre. I think it's done largely so people can go around saying they know of a new style of music that noone else knows of.
Imagine if they did the same thing with rock....this song has a slight carribean inflence..a new form of music has been invented!

That is a stupid amount of sub-genres. I personally just follow the 15-20 that beatport separates electronic music into, as it is just a lot less confusing.

Are you kidding me? Do you only think there is "rock" and that's it?
Location: In my office, at the Ministry of Awesome!
Exp:
Yeah, but the only reason names exist for all of these "Genres" is so that people who "Know about music" can feel good about themselves when they say something like "Oh, you like such and such eh? Well that was cool for a while, but now I'm really into Dubstep.....you've probalby never heard of it".

The OP said not to argue about genres so cut it out pls.
You started a thread about a subgenre of music. What did you expect? Especially one that gets quite a bit of back and forth discussion from people everywhere.

I want a disco house thread. It's so 2007!
Screw house, lets get real esoteric and start a DC go go thread, bring back Chuck Brown and the junkyard band.
