A FUNERAL FOR DUBSTEP : The genre gets it’s very own Hollywood movie.

” It’s basically the music that bad teenagers listened to in movies about teenagers in the future from a while ago. Like this is maybe the cast of Hackers’ favorite music? (That movie wasn’t about the future, not really, but it was close. Maybe this is the favorite music of the kid in Gamer, though you really shouldn’t know what that means, because hopefully you have not suffered through Gamer as some of us have.) ANYWAY. The point is that dubstep has become enough of a thing that a deal has gone down at Sundance for actors Jake Hoffman and Nikki “Rosalie” Reed to star in a movie that is “a psychological thriller set in the world of underground dubstep.” Oh gosh. “In the world of,” as if it is a known, real world. Maybe it is! But not to most humans. This is basically when the The Fast & the Furious came along like thirty years ago (that movie is old, right?) and was like “Oh, hey, look it’s the world of underground desert street racing,” and we were supposed to go “Oh, OK, we believe that.” Only we really didn’t? So yeah, dubstep. And not just regular dubstep. Underground dubstep. The world of. A psychological thriller. Dubstep. Is disco finally dead? [Deadline] “
