Lemmiwinks Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 one picture says more than a thousand words taken from here Obviously, psytrance isn't even mentioned in the graph... I guess the most spectacular line is the rise and fall of dubstep and indeed, that's the feeling I had too, only in a handfull of years we went from "what is this new underground sound?", to "dubstep this, dubstep that" to "meh, you still listen to dubstep?". I mean, most genres have such an evolution but with dubstep everything happened so fast. Otherwise, isn't progressive house and deep house quite interchangeable? And no mention of "big bass" music like Hardcore/ hardstyle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ormion Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 So it's safe to say that dubstep was a fad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemmiwinks Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 So it's safe to say that dubstep was a fad? nah I wouldn't say so, just about every subgenre has its ups and lows, just look at goatrance, all it takes is a handfull of passionate people to bring it back to life again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolmot Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I think its catchy parts have simply been rebranded as something new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padmapani Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I think its catchy parts have simply been rebranded as something new. this is true in more ways than you probably intended to say. we certainly didn't see a rise of techno in the last 10 years. rather the opposite...

Veracohr Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 And no mention of "big bass" music like Hardcore/ hardstyle? Well it does say "top selling" genres. I see 23 genres on Beatport's site, that chart apparently only shows the top 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynos Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 only in a handfull of years we went from "what is this new underground sound?", to "dubstep this, dubstep that" to "meh, you still listen to dubstep?". I mean, most genres have such an evolution but with dubstep everything happened so fast. Because it's all about dancefloor bangers. I mean, just look at big room house.
