I'm not a producer or an artist, but this feels like a video for producers and artists. So maybe you and many others in the comments section just came in with the wrong expectations?
Instead of a long talk, you could provide us some examples... I notice that the language used to describe all those sub-genres are sometimes a little vague, so, learning by hearing an explanation is a little complicated.
I mean it made perfect sense to me, maybe I just have more experience listening to and making electronic music and the differences between the genres, but if you approach the genres even just by the rhythms and the style of the bass (not vague terms, by the way) you should be able to pick out the differences if you hear enough of it. If you don't know how to count rhythms, learn; you're not going to reliably be able to make something good without that base level of music knowledge (not even saying you must learn music theory, just learn how to count music). Also, he didn't have to make this video for you guys for free , and it was not useless. I think it is all the more useful that he didn't use audio examples, because even within the same genre the sound can vary widely and you wouldn't want to pigeonhole the sound of entry level producers in that genre to one particular thing other than the loose constraints (rhythms, bass, crowd reaction) that define the genre (in other words, yall would try to imitate that particular sound rather than learning to determine the similarities similarities and differences on your own). The point of the video to was to be as broad and overarching as possible so that you understand how to figure it out.
I do agree with Art in that to be as objective as possible it is good to not give too specific details but from a pedagogical perspective perhaps the vid could benefit from more concrete examples. Or not, since then you could end up defining a genre too much as stated.
Well he dose know he just telling u to use Ur brain and make a track similar he's helping but not giving the full amount of info and his info is amazing and fully understandable
Vincent, the video is titled “how to understand genres” and NOT “how to make this or that genre”. People only want the easiest way and often forget to understand these concepts/aspects that he’s talking about which are actually important.
I'm a bartender at a Techno party tonight. Last time, they ordered lots of water. So is Techno about drinking water with a bunch of people or is it about liquid bass lines? Please tell me. Maybe I can get along with the hype tonight.
D&B and Dubstep doesn't have to be crazy and filthy though, there are sides to the genre that are not as wild and extreme. D&B has a subgenre called Liquid D&B, which tends to be more chill with atmospheric elements. then Dubstep, which is so loosely defined, has tracks which many would call like chillstep or progressive dubstep, but neither of those subgenres are fully agreed upon to be legitimate. but take like Bassnectar for example, he may delve into trap music a lot, but most of his music is dubstep, and while he has a few songs that represent like 2009-2010 stereotypical dubstep, otherwise he doesn't put emphasis on making crazy Skrillexy sounds.
Melodic dubstep is also part of dubstep. The most important thing about dubstep is wobble basslines with a half beat. Brostep is the most popular subgenre of Dubstep and that’s what comes in mind of most people when you say dubstep.
thank u for emphasizing the natural feeling of different genre because that's how we fall in love with certain genre but easily forget it when start to learn production.
Dubstep is sub-bass oriented, and energetic , "shakes you to your core in a visceral way" would be a good description of harsh noise. Dubstep almost always is atmospheric, and has a spacious low key sound.What you're talking about when you bring up clubs & dubstep is brostep, the extremely predictable song structures and mid range melodies. This is what happens when you use club talk(where people who just listen to singles and not albums and have no idea about albums or the progression of music in general and listen to 90's electronic dance genres) to get your info. Clubs are bullshit. The best electronic dance music, whether it's future garage, bubblegum bass, glitch pop, ambient dub, microhouse etc, functions best both in the club AND on private listens anyway.
detroit techno it's a cross between early house and electro with futuristic sounds, no melody, more percussions, reverb and delay effects. notable artists: juan atkins, bellville three, kenny larkin, eddie flashin fowlkes, dan curtin, ben pest
Good shit man. Wish I had this perspective when I started out. I was way too preoccupied with technical stuff and categories. Took me way to long to understand how genres really work.
I was taught that in order to break the rules, we must first learn what the rules are. So, we learn the elements of a genre, and then go change 'em. with our own style/voice. Thanks for your viewpoint.
This was really useful! Thanks, people are saying they didn't like that it didn't have examples, but now I feel I have more direction of what I'm looking for! Thnks mate
Wow this was so vague! You only gave (nice) questions to ask but did not answer them, which threw of my expectations a lot. Would be nice if you could make a guide to the genres based on them. I hoped for something like has and . With special focus on how to differentiate them. Does anybody here know a video or literature ressource like this?
I agree with you on how people dance to certain genres. It seems like there are more mosh pits with dubstep and heavy metal. If you think about it, dubstep is like electronic heavy metal with synthesizers and electronic drums instead of guitars and drumsets.
I know completely nothing about Electronic music, but I wanted to know how to recognize the different genres. I can see that you are trying to explain it as good as possible with words, but as a complete noob I don't even know how anything you described sounds like. So, I'll have to find another YT-video explaining the genres for me to be able to really understand what you were talking about.
I got into dubstep because of the deadpool video game 2013. Before that I mostly heard the reaction of the people that it sucks. So I never even tried it. But then it became my favorite genre quite fast actually. I had like 90% more songs of dubstep that I like in comparison to all other genres. Today I've got like 500 tracks of dubstep and perhaps only 50 tracks of other genres that I like. Other similar genre I liked was hardcore (hardstyle), but it kinda died after fearfm closed.
You really don’t account for the fact that Dubstep in itself is energetically all over the spectrum, like when it comes to more Minimalistic UK style Dubstep (even considering some sub music) and with dnb it can range from very streamline smooth low ‘liquid’ bass lines and softer taps of the beat to the more erratic stereotypical, stuff, that you’re on about…. and so on…. I think you should have just played some examples and said what you really didn’t want to say and that being the BPM and coordination of a song….
Uhh so about the running and jumping into each other thing the only dubstep shows I’ve seen moshing at were by very extreme metal-adjacent bands, so idk what dubstep shows you’re going to.
OK, I really wanted to give this a chance, but you're just talking about music without actually using music, and you are sitting in front of all your audio equipment.
Why bother making a video explaining it? Most of us who care already know and those who dont know but do care would rather have examples played for them
So I was not wrong afterall. I was questioning my self whether I was making Electric dance, or trap. I,m going to try Dubstep and Glitch hop together next time, Glitchstep :D
Robot music subgenres: ok actually I can separate n difference Techno from Dupstep... they just sound sooo dang different.. its kinds hard to describe, my friend over here's got a great explanation
I think u don't have to analyze music to make good music (it helps to get popular for shure). But if you do I think you will be too much influenced by it. Just do ur own thing, so you will be happy with it. Also I think without everybody analyzing the "specs" of specific genres there would be more diversity. Just my opinion.
I actually think it does help to analyze music if you want to be creative. But just approach it in a different way. For example, people use a specific kind of kick in progressive/future house and it gives the genre a bouncy and jumpy feeling. What will happen if you use that kick in a dubstep song? Or even drum & bass? The same goes for chill/dark genres like future garage, where a lot of producers use weird percussion samples as "snares". Maybe you really like the high pitched synth snares that are used a lot in modern drum & bass. Why not use those? If you know many things about different genres, you can combine the things you like the most and come up with something new. Of course, you can do this not only with drums, but with synth or bass sounds as well. Making something completely different is very difficult, but combining elements from different genres you like is a lot easier and also a very effective way to be original.
Couldnt ask for a better guidance to understanding the genres tbh, idk what these brats in the section are about, really. Laying in bed past midnight, the last thing I want is loud obnoxious music in this video. Go multiplayah!
He's starting to play music at 6:06

Thanks for saving my time....
On to the next video that will actually give me a clear definition.
:)))))
you're a savior. I tried watching the first 20s but got too irritated
Hehehehehehe
How can you make a video about music without playing any music
Skill
I'm not a producer or an artist, but this feels like a video for producers and artists. So maybe you and many others in the comments section just came in with the wrong expectations?

Especially to those peeps that are not good at english like me 🤔
this was useless
I just stopped watching when I read this comment. Was looking for audio examples.
I mean it made perfect sense to me, maybe I just have more experience listening to and making electronic music and the differences between the genres, but if you approach the genres even just by the rhythms and the style of the bass (not vague terms, by the way) you should be able to pick out the differences if you hear enough of it.

I waited the whole video for you to actually PLAY music 😒
Lol me too
fr, waste of time lol
Same dawg lmao
Me too 🤓
Good thing I read the comments first.....
So basically...you dunno lol ... Thats how this made me feel.
Well he dose know he just telling u to use Ur brain and make a track similar he's helping but not giving the full amount of info and his info is amazing and fully understandable

Max Tilman well water is a must with techno ( xtc ;) )
mdma, people have to stay hydrated
People tend to be highasf
Hahaha ik moest eerst lachen om deze trollolol comment en toen zag ik dat jij het was xD
Hahahaa
Yess we need water as hell.

*MIGHTY FINE RHYTHM, MY BREDREN!*
Dubstep is not running into each other but headbanging
Real dubstep is nothing like the shit you see on tv and hear on radio. I see it as a strange mix between grime and techno
i think we've established people run into each other when dubstep is on, thank you
and we know he has no fucking idea what dubstep is.

Hey bro, you got your bro in my step
thank u for emphasizing the natural feeling of different genre because that's how we fall in love with certain genre but easily forget it when start to learn production.
Do you do math lessons over Skype too?
omg i found markipliers long lost brother XD

Finally a guy who explains it
WHAT SORT OF ALIEN MADE THAT NOISE????

Good shit man. Wish I had this perspective when I started out. I was way too preoccupied with technical stuff and categories. Took me way to long to understand how genres really work.
That "Running into each other for 30s, and have a break, and do it for 2h" kills😂
Dubstep is electronic reggae no joke
I was taught that in order to break the rules, we must first learn what the rules are. So, we learn the elements of a genre, and then go change 'em. with our own style/voice. Thanks for your viewpoint.
Great talks does not need music. This was VERY descriptive and interesting. Awesome !
This was really useful! Thanks, people are saying they didn't like that it didn't have examples, but now I feel I have more direction of what I'm looking for! Thnks mate

I’ve never seen someone talk so much and say so little
Multiplier Which speakers are there in your this video? Hope you reply soon!
good video, but still left me wondering What Is Dubstep, House vs Techno, etc.?
30 seconds in I thought your body language said that the video was finished😅😂 it is so fast talking man😭
I agree with you on how people dance to certain genres. It seems like there are more mosh pits with dubstep and heavy metal. If you think about it, dubstep is like electronic heavy metal with synthesizers and electronic drums instead of guitars and drumsets.
A lot of the producers did Metal before that too.
Boring....talk tooooooo much

solid vid. super difficult to distinguish or explain these for beginners lol

Apparently, it never occurred to him to simply play music samples.
Apparently it never occurred to you to listen to the different genres on your own lolz
@@Art-bk6vv - Apparently, you don’t understand what makes good content vs gibberish.
OK, I really wanted to give this a chance, but you're just talking about music without actually using music, and you are sitting in front of all your audio equipment.
Im glad people finally realized the difference between actual Dubstep and what is now more appropriately called Brostep
Why bother making a video explaining it? Most of us who care already know and those who dont know but do care would rather have examples played for them
Unfortunately sometime in 2015 this guy took off his beanie and got a haircut and he has never been the same since. Went from cool to quirky.
this guy would explain a picture with 10 thousand words rather than just showing you the fucking picture...
Useless video. Talks talks talks. You could simply play samples of music to illustrate the difference.
So glad I found this vid because there are a few genres I don't quite understand or at least I can't really differentiate
I loved watching this dude's hands for 6 minutes
wtf... No examples!? Surely you could have provided some examples.
I can't believe this vid got any likes. Does not explain the differences at all. Rubbish!
sorry but im in love with you.. ahhah thanks for a good piece of advice!
Paused half way through and went to a different video because you didn't get to the fucking point.
Or you could just listen to the different styles, isolated, and pay attention?! Seems a bit easier...
What a dumb talk. Nothing is better than real music samples. Hope this guy is not a teacher
A complete explanation about music without any music as example. :/
I feel like I have learned absolutely nothing.... so off topic
Running into each other and smashing noses is exactly what dubstep sounds like lmao
I love deathstep and frenchcore
you rock bro. Ive been following you forever. You are so awesome plz make more tutorials...
Multiplier is mad whack! But in a good way.
So I was not wrong afterall. I was questioning my self whether I was making Electric dance, or trap. I,m going to try Dubstep and Glitch hop together next time, Glitchstep :D
A man bun is the perfect way to make a man look like a little old lady from 1885.
Trance : is mainly about those europhoric ( can’t spell ) vibes
What about lyrics for dubstep??.....anybody?
All youtube comments for edm music are drop jokes...
This is like a scientist explaining a kid about blackholes
Pretty awesome stuff - TRS-Records
How about Techno v Psytrance Multiplier?
1:08
if House is about the groove, then what about Bass House?
I feel dubstep is the Metal of edm, aggressive and unforgiving and House is like soft rock.
Alan Garner classic rock 😂
Techno is almost mechanical
And right off the bat this guy gets it wrong with what Dubstep is
those stupid words for label. What is world music?
WHAT IS RIDDIM
Let me save you some time. He never plays any examples just talks.
You forget trance music its very difficult😂
The best videos use words not videos--not!!
Visceral... aka Bassnectar shows 😍.
whos watching this video in 2020
techno is the art of house.
Techno is a genre on its own but it comes from house just like trance
wrong. house is what you want. techno is what you need.
Techno has nothing to do with house.
ZeX of course techno has something to do with house what are you talking about
curtis mills Techno was undepended and was developed in Detroit as a seperate undepended genre.
Robot music subgenres: ok actually I can separate n difference Techno from Dupstep... they just sound sooo dang different.. its kinds hard to describe, my friend over here's got a great explanation
lmao. I heard "wah gwan" and stopped there...
I love melodic dubstep
This is terrible video, just talking
Dubstep is a vibe. Not a run into each other.
what is the samurai jack rave song classified as i dont know i feel like its a type of hardcore?
Acid techno for the first one, some generic form of house for the 2017 season.
A combination of Acid Techno,Acid House,Acid Trance and Industrial music
Drum & bass is self explanatory.
the intro is stiff stop the slang it ain't for u
I think u don't have to analyze music to make good music (it helps to get popular for shure). But if you do I think you will be too much influenced by it. Just do ur own thing, so you will be happy with it. Also I think without everybody analyzing the "specs" of specific genres there would be more diversity. Just my opinion.

ok so where were the explanations.............
This is so convenient, thank you so much Multiplier!
Dude you didn’t even play music
Great stuff... Loves it
All talk and no play, thumbs down.
Well that was six wasted minutes
Couldnt ask for a better guidance to understanding the genres tbh, idk what these brats in the section are about, really. Laying in bed past midnight, the last thing I want is loud obnoxious music in this video.
Go multiplayah!
👎 i will not waste my time with this video.
Techno drops are evolving
Not even a little informative lol
Is he a british guy?his accent..
Man, you're good.
thank you. didn't help at all
