I have the exact situation going on here. One of my friends is a "dubstep" DJ... and he says the same things about witch house. I've been trying to get him to spin some on a slow night or something. But he's not biting. I have a friend who's a bartender and he'll let me plug in my ipod on slow nights. I've had one person say they liked it. Most people just looked uncomfortable.Technoctopus wrote:So Ive been showing some Witch House to my friends trying to get them interested but most of them are hardcore Dubstep freaks and they say that Witch House has no energy and takes no talent that Dubstep has tons more energy and that Witch house will never take off I was just wondering some good come backs / arguments that I could use against them.
Also another thing do you think Witch House will be like Dubstep in the terms of it being underground for a long time and rising to mainstream popularity or do you think it will stay underground?
And another question I would like to know from people is would you want Witch House to be mainstream or do you like the idea of it always being underground?
Dubstep is just a "cover-all" term for all this new hard and dirty "whompy" dance music that has any resemblance to the early two-step days. Kind of like the term "witch house" being applied to anything dark with a hip-hop influence. I think both are gaining exponential recognition but dubstep has a better chance of going mainstream. (As it already has, eg: Britney Spears- Hold it Against Me) I would prefer witch house stays off the airwaves.
