And it's rainy over here today so my sarcasm-sensor is off. I.e. I'm going to be bloody literal with everything I reply to today. Bear with me.

You have a bear with you? That forest you live in must be so cool.

Yes. Bear with me. His name's Wolfgang. He gets pissed if you call him Wolf though.

And the forest is only cool insofar as the temperature is low. It gets quite warm in the summer.

How's the humidity during the winter over there? I'm planning on building a log cabin over there in a few weeks.

Nice. Humidity's good when it comes to listening to Porcupine Tree.

"He is most famous for being the pioneer of dubstep"

Define your terms carefully and that could be true, yeah. I mean I reckon Skrillex has influenced and exposed the style more than anyone else has, whether people like it or not.

But then there's the issue of what we define as dubstep and so on. It's just a shame that you had to receive so much hatred for just a carelessly thrown phrase - I liked the review. Keep it up.

Once again, Insurrection writes a pretty good review and we all freak out, because it's him! If this had been posted by anyone else, we'd have about three pages of "lol yeah I agree this sounds stupid, pos."

Oh well, though; Internet users will be Internet users. Nice review, man, and learn from your mistakes without letting them deter you from writing.

Wrong, I don't even know him and I frankly couldn't care less since I was rather absent the last months. It's just that it was a crucial statement which was simply wrong as RTR already mentioned last page.



"Define your terms carefully and that could be true, yeah. "

He would've had to say that he exposed it to mainstream, because Skrillex didn't pioneer anything. 'Brostep' has been done before, more dirty and busy dubstep has also been done before - some people even say 'brostep' was 'underground' once.

Brostep didn't get popular in the U.S. until Skrillex got behind it. So in that sense, if he'd said brostep instead of dubstep
he would've been more accurate. Brostep has been done for awhile now, yeah, but it didn't really break through the
surface until Skrillex brought it to us. You know what I mean?

If you view it like that, then you could say that Skrillex was the pioneer of brostep. He was the first one to exploit it in
America and yield highly positive results, and that constitutes a pioneer.

However, I'd also understand the argument that a pioneer can be successful without receiving mass acclaim.

So in essence, Omaha, you are saying Angry Birds is/was "a pioneer" of mobile gaming? Even though I was playing King Of Fighters on my shitty "dumbphone" ten years ago?

Not necessarily - there have been other games that have been successful on the phone. Tetris, Diner Dash, etc. Nothing that's been a bombshell on the phone like Angry Birds. But if you look at Angry Birds and then look at the games it's inspired, the game could be a pioneer in its own genre.

No, he wouldn't have because 'brostep' was pioneered by Rusco. Nobody cares about regional differences. That's exposure, not pioneering.

"Brostep has been done for awhile now, yeah, but it didn't really break through the surface"

So, every musician who made something go mainstream is a pioneer? Sorry, that's not how it works.



"until Skrillex brought it to us. You know what I mean?"

I know what you mean and I still think you got either your definitions or your semantics wrong. Who is 'us'?



"If you view it like that, then you could say that Skrillex was the pioneer of brostep."

No, he was the first one to make it big for the mainstream market. Once again, that's exposure.



"He was the first one to exploit it in America and yield highly positive results, and that constitutes a pioneer."

You do realize that you just said that your success in one specific country constitutes to being a pioneer in general. So either your phrasing is not precise enough or your argument is meh.



"However, I'd also understand the argument that a pioneer can be successful without receiving mass acclaim. "

That's not even debatable, a pioneer is a pioneer - it's completely irrelevant whether he's economically succesful in specific regions or not.
