I don't know why everyone is called a song with a short Dubstep section in Dubstep, lol. I mean the songs are so watered down as well that they don't resemble anything of the real Dubstep anyway. Half the people who like this stuff would hate actual Dubstep.

@ Hard2Get - Yes, I heard this on the radio at work today... Only me and the boss there at that hour, and I burst out: "Hey, what?! This sounds a bit like Dubstep"... She said: "What is that? I'm liking it". I told her to put on two Dubstep tunes on YouTube (namely Tek-One - Broken String and then drumsteppy Pendulum - Set Me On Fire, wanted to keep it at a level she'd probably enjoy) and she said: "It's not bad but my head spins"... Haha. Figured she'd say something like that.
But hey, I like the Dubstep touches in Britney's song.

not surprising that there's dubstep collabs w/ mainstream singers. it was bound to happen w/ dubstep sooner or later, as it's already happened with electro

Welcome to 80% of pop/hip hop/rap on the radio in the states, I went from a bit of dance on the radio... Like Cascada (it was better than nothing) and now everything is ****ing a mix of house and ****ing dubstep...
I use to get made fun of for listening to dance, not even a year later the same people ****ing listen to this shit..
It pisses me off to a point, I dont know why.. I'm not complaining that much... But its a bit annoying that every pop artist (Us ones) is going into dubstep..
I dont know how to feel about dubstep in mainstream pop...

Well I still listen to some here and there, I have a wide taste in music. But like dance music was kinda my escape from most of the shit on the radio here, now it is all intertwined, and its kinda weird...

1) 99.9% of commercial music is better produced than Hardcore will ever be in 100 years.
2) There's a reason why these tracks have a huge success!
3) There is some good Hardcore now again..

Yeah!
1) People don't give a s**t about music. It's only being used for tootling in the backgroud. You know:
- get into yor car
- fasten your seat belt
- turn on the radio without caring, what station is on currently
- start your engine
- drive around
- rarely listen to the music
- forgot the last played song
- park your car
- turn off engine
...
2) They listen to it, because they got told to do so. Radio and music TV stations are just as disgusting and corrupt as media in oppressive regimes.

Yeah I agree, but that's imo only 50% of the reason why people like it! The other 50% is because the songs are simply good. Moonlight Shadow, Right Beside You, damn even Barbra Streisand. Actually Barbra Streisand was ripped from Boney M - Gotta Go Home which again was ripped from Nighttrain - Bimmelbahn (1979), and that's a classic. The idea behind the track was already good 32 years ago, it is still the same idea and it is still good. The difference is that qualitywise the new version is produced a billion times better, which makes it sound fresh again. Actually for the past 30 or 40 years we've had the same tracks running around and around, given different names and different images. For each generation tracks are getting ripped again! But then the new generation doesn't even know these tracks were ripped and call old stuff gay and blabla... which actually is pretty much the same. The result is just superficiality of the people :)
So if the medias would give people Hardcore to listen to, like they did back in the 90s (example: DJ Seduction's tracks played on MTV), the chances that they would listen to it are high. It's not (only) a brainwash imo, it's just that people don't give a **** searching other genres (like I don't give a **** searching country music but I probably wouldn't mind listening it), so if nobody gives it to them, they won't listen to it. Simple as that :)
