DUBSTEP IS APPARENTLY MORE MAINSTREAM THAN I THOUGHT

NPR, in general, is one of my favorite things in life. It makes my drive to and from work bearable when I'm not listening to my collection of horrible CDs. It keeps me learnin' now that my brain is slowly going to shit after the academic rigors of college.

But today NPR stepped down to my level. This past week they've been reviewing music from different genres to recap the year. Featured today? MOTHER EFFIN' DUBSTEP.

Now listen to the classiest piece of audio we will ever post on this site:
NPR The Year in Music: Dubstep 12/30 by shdowling

I'm glad this style is getting press and garnering more fans, but I honestly had no idea how popular it was already. I got an inkling from my music aggregating site (hypem.com) where dubstep remixes have repeatedly showed up in their "Popular" lists. The "Top 10 Torrents Today/Week" on my music torrenting site have shown similar trends. But those didn't paint the whole picture.

How could such horrible music get so much recognition? Now 45 year old upper-middle class white people are going to run out to buy the dubstep's musics. Maybe they will read our blorg?
