me, when EDM on youtube was all just the blue speaker anthems, yo skrill drop it hard, brostep taking over. I had entirely missed the Jungle and previous sound system genres - But I did date a Caribbean girl who pointed me towards some of its origins. I made dubstep my thing, and I hoped it would remain a thing - I had always felt the scene was dying, but somehow - I just lacked the correct exposure - eventually it blew up - and, I assume like myself it was a matter of people coming of age and being able to turn their dreams into reality. I think skrill really must have had a young following. I came across Excision in 2011, around the same time. Rottun Records had become a stable in my library, and Cookie Monsta had become my favorite artist for his track, Ginger P***s. being the first Dubstep song I had ever purchased from iTunes. I went from, electronic music and nose-dived into Dubstep. There are hundreds of artists that didn't last throughout time and I wonder where they went. At the same time, I watched my favorite artist take his own life. Part of me wants nothing to do with making music, my first dubstep show was for Dubloadz, I was brought by - probably my most impactful of all ex-girlfriends I had throughout my lifetime - I had a girl realize, how hardcore I was into dubstep - and being from the sticks in Wisconsin, I was an anomaly. We entered the scene together, and she was quickly whisked away by clout chasing fame after hanging out with Subtronics for 20 mins. no hate, people have far-reaching dreams. but bouncing from DJ to DJ after that, was what not only inspired me to buy a table but kept me mixing, extremely devout. It also, was the cause of great concern as I would release dis mixes aimed at garnering bad attention, as I had thought - any attention was attention. without realizing cancel culture would take a full swing in the years to come. I ruined any reputation I could have had, and as an outsider with few friends - who was to defend any allegations brought against me? This is written, on 2/22/22 I wonder if I'll ever be alive for another date such as this. I likely won't. as life ends for us all. looking back - this all seems like one, big waste. a childhood dream, fruiting into - the hardships of being under public scrutiny. being told by all of my peers, there's no money in it - your wasting your time. I know this. I was trying to win back somebody I had foolishly thought I loved, because she had love bombed me, bought me a lost lands ticket when I has 6-7 years into listening to dubstep daily. while I was in a relationship with another girl, I fell for the ticket. and I'll forever regret that. looking back, even my newfound favorite artist Squnto - got canceled for trump support and being controversial on Twitter. I grew up in a time of Excision, Datsik, Downlink, Bassnectar - It seems only excision remains for the sound style I once loved. and even then, he seems alien to who he once was. this scene is terribly toxic
