Skrillex is not all "dubstep" though and real dubstep is radically different music than the stuff that started coming out of South London about 13 or 14 years ago. The original dubstep sound took elements of roots and dub reggae and blended them with 2-step, half-time syncopated beat. Here are some older dubstep songs; you can see where the new stuff ("brostep") got a lot of its blueprint from:



If you take Skrillex's music and strip away all the composition that distracts from the actual music, it's actually pretty interesting. Here's a piano arrangement of one of his songs almost note for note, nailing all the little grace notes, dynamics, tempo etc.



I'd have to say my decade would be this one right now. I enjoy cool jazz with piano accompaniments and brass leads. People are still making that sound, maybe less of it and lower quality but it's still there. I love East Coast hip hop from the early to mid 90's ... there are some MC's carrying on that style, it just doesn't have that classic sound to it anymore. I like electronica from the late 90's into the 2000's. I like metal bands like Iron Maiden or Metallica's Master of Puppets album.

All of these sounds are still available today; we have more music and there are some diamonds waiting in the rough if you are willing to wade through all the crap to get there.

Probably the '90s. Not just because it's pop music was playing the airwaves while I was in high school.

Early '90s music still had a lot of '80s influence still in its veins (saxophone solos still rocked a few songs in the '90s, for example). Plus my favorite Satriani and Savatage albums were made in the '90s. And there was a good selection of alternative metal, grunge, and industrial to be had in the '90s. As well as some amazing techno and dance music.

I would miss a lot of '80s (and '70s and '60s and '50s), sure. But If I had to pick, '90s would be it.

Yeah this was meant as a definate time period, not just any ten year stretch.

After doing some research(yes, it's been slow at work the past couple of days) I'm wanting to slide back a decade and take the 70s. I miss out on so much! The good Pink Floyd, Boston, Lynyrd Skynyrd...Micheal Jackson before he became a freak(Off The Wall is a really good album).

Ponder on this some more I must.

I like that one, Skrillex has an orchestral version on his latest album as a bonus track as well which I love.

I'm calling BS!

Sure, it misses the 8th and the 9th, but it gets all of Beethoven's Symphonies through the 7th. It gets some of the drafting for the 8th. It gets the majority of piano and small chamber masterpieces. It's simply got the most Beethoven.

I'm torn...I love 80s music but 60's-70s as well. I cant pick just one decade.

I wish I could appreciate classical composers. I can listen to it but I get the distinct feeling I'm missing out on all the subtle aspects that makes it great.

If I'm forced to choose... I take the 60's.

I refuse to pick a decade, too much interspersed over the years I would hate to lose forever.

I like dubstep remixes of other songs:

I agree ...

When folks put down a music genre I just keep hearing my mother asking me what I liked about that Rock and Roll stuff, it isn't really music you know.

Yes, I don't care much for dubstep either, but hey, so what.

Yeah, there's actual science behind all of that.

Part of it is children attempting to establish themselves as their own person and differentiating themselves from their parents, which means listening to music that their parents don't/won't listen to.

But the other real science-y part is that when you are younger, listening to new music creates a hell of a lot of dopamine in your brain. Dopamine is the chemical that makes you feel good. As you age, dopamine levels aren't produced as much when listening to new music, if at all. But listening to music that used to create the high dopamine levels, helps remind us of those feelings (ie: nostalgia).

I had always wondered why many people have certain cut-off points for the type of music they mostly listen to. And I was even more shocked to find myself in that same boat. It's all biology and science, and we can't run away from it.

86-96, or maybe shift that forward in time another year or two.
