[@reichen609]

Thanks for saving my time.... On to the next video that will actually give me a clear definition.

[@geofrana5680]

:)))))

[@zerocooljpn]

you're a savior. I tried watching the first 20s but got too irritated

[@Pkwanderer67]

Hehehehehehe

[@jaisaqui]

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.

[@curtcrowley6659]

Especially to those peeps that are not good at english like me 🤔

[@jamesjross]

this was useless

[@sarasfx]

I just stopped watching when I read this comment. Was looking for audio examples.

[@Art-bk6vv]

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.

[@CalleJonte]

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.

[@LukesGamePage]

How can you make a video about music without playing any music

[@MrJeffburgess]

Skill

[@jakebellacera]

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?

[@Tefixitafuckme]

I waited the whole video for you to actually PLAY music 😒

[@sagarraturi8042]

Lol me too

[@McLovin2825]

fr, waste of time lol

[@Tdugg]

Same dawg lmao

[@AhmedIsmailofficial]

Me too 🤓

[@youngkey3051]

Good thing I read the comments first.....

[@SuperHoeCakes]

Do you do math lessons over Skype too?

[@maxtilman7160]

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.

[@voltbf4379]

Max Tilman well water is a must with techno ( xtc ;) )

[@apr2047]

mdma, people have to stay hydrated

[@astrocat8418]

People tend to be highasf

[@BooiVideos]

Hahaha ik moest eerst lachen om deze trollolol comment en toen zag ik dat jij het was xD

[@monthatiprakpan3714]

Hahahaa Yess we need water as hell.

[@OdinComposer]

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.

[@6noteblues]

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.

[@MrKarver1]

you rock bro. Ive been following you forever. You are so awesome plz make more tutorials...

[@alliezheng7684]

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.

[@the9thlime]

Multiplier Which speakers are there in your this video? Hope you reply soon!

[@rigslut]

i think we've established people run into each other when dubstep is on, thank you

[@spencexxx]

and we know he has no fucking idea what dubstep is.

[@edwardfanboy]

[@spencexxx]

Hey bro, you got your bro in my step

[@Utomneian]

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.

[@nielsf2704]

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.

[@mr_radio]

Great stuff... Loves it

[@Herfouch]

Thanks for the info, Tim Roth

[@jesusneverexisted300]

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

[@Itsallawesome]

Really great tips! thank you

[@TheBroster1234]

respect bro loving your content

[@TribbleLPTV]

Finally a guy who explains it

[@bad_robot]

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

[@RareTechniques]

*MIGHTY FINE RHYTHM, MY BREDREN!*

[@Melanholix]

Cool stuff.

[@therandomsocietyrecordings4025]

Pretty awesome stuff - TRS-Records

[@nicblaze6428]

This is so convenient, thank you so much Multiplier!

[@7dogguy]

what is the samurai jack rave song classified as i dont know i feel like its a type of hardcore?

[@sonikku956]

Acid techno for the first one, some generic form of house for the 2017 season.

[@lars38010]

A combination of Acid Techno,Acid House,Acid Trance and Industrial music

[@haydenlyon4534]

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

[@Lightmaker5]

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.

[@Byronic19134]

So basically...you dunno lol ... Thats how this made me feel.

[@dylangrace1929]

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

[@raularaujostrw]

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.

[@aura-audio]

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.

[@javascriptkiddie2718]

A lot of the producers did Metal before that too.

[@amalsatheesh2952]

It's really helpful and I find this video as an easy approach for understanding different genre music.

[@SoyRaulZepeda]

Man, you're good.

[@bencomeau3114]

This helps. Thnaks

[@nanxia5434]

That "Running into each other for 30s, and have a break, and do it for 2h" kills😂

[@catherinecarlin7768]

sorry but im in love with you.. ahhah thanks for a good piece of advice!

[@Soundsbadbro]

WHAT SORT OF ALIEN MADE THAT NOISE????

[@castletransport]

What soft of style would ikson be? I'm led to believe that vlog music is EDM so I wanted to learn the right style of music.

[@alliezheng7684]

thx!

[@frankbelin1590]

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.

[@cafykhanartist]

Great work doing love from india

[@FolkMetalProject]

good video, but still left me wondering What Is Dubstep, House vs Techno, etc.?

[@ChibiChubbyRobo]

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.

[@FORZZASICILIA]

Basicaly can some one tell me the diffence between casa genre music and techno genre music?

[@eliehaers1905]

Dubstep is not running into each other but headbanging

[@paintb0x]

I loved watching this dude's hands for 6 minutes

[@walltime1]

lmfaooooooooooo that intro though were you trying to imitate ali g

[@osphaarmusic2767]

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

[@plopidrahtis7023]

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

[@upsalapoinofgi3452]

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?

[@club882]

Dubstep is a vibe. Not a run into each other.

[@flowerpower9253]

It's ok... He's pretty 🥺💕

[@theCranesUS]

Drum & bass is self explanatory.

[@anonymoususer2764]

I love deathstep and frenchcore

[@lauraxyz5388]

2:45-2:55 😂 ‘and it’s great!’

[@RyanRediger66]

You should do a podcast

[@luisgonzalez-hc4xu]

I love melodic dubstep

[@traxillia]

What is about trance

[@localdude2979]

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

[@bovinearrogance]

omg i found markipliers long lost brother XD

[@karl5428]

Visceral... aka Bassnectar shows 😍.

[@Dakuta12]

WHAT IS RIDDIM

[@oneworld9071]

Just a suggestion for future similar endeavors...... the GENRE is EDM. Take the *THREE most prominent example styles, dedicate a segment to each...... pretty much done in title as is. The classical essay-type term paper method fits presentations such as this perfectly. Many producers could really improve the organization and clarity in this type of show...... just an idea, man. One style's name that is really difficult to "get" is "trance". Originally, in the 60's and 70's, step sequencing made the foundation for entire album sides. The repetitive patterns of pitch and rhythm achieved the desired effect of a trance similar to African ritual dance accompaniment. The actual active ingredient in that phenomenon is clave, of course. That same trance effect is blatantly present in Latin jazz, salsa, merengue, cumbia and its forms, son montuno, guajira, etc. Early true trance is best exemplified by Tangerine Dream, among others. The curious issue with today's "trance"? Where's the trance? It's quite raucous, unlike the original "true" trance. Even "ambient" music these days has a raucous edge. It literally means a form of music played in the background in an environment for emotional effect, without those hearing it actually focusing on the music itself...... kinda like the ambient fragrance of eucalyptus trees, carob, and ocean on the winds in southern California. It also fit perfectly what was considered "trance" in the 60's into the 80's. What's called "ambient" style music now is pretty much point-blank hardcore. There's also, though, the sad fact people who don't care will label something and put it out for d/l......... not quite as bad as getting the performers' names wrong, but still..... * THREE is a magical number in design, from landscaping and architecture to logos and the standard essay. Give two examples, it feels unfinished. Give four examples, the attention wanders......

[@DASQOfficial]

Where's the Techno explanation?

[@Tonydjjokerit]

How about Techno v Psytrance Multiplier?

[@brendabarsallo9311]

I wish you would give examples

[@brandonvillatuya9539]

Techno drops are evolving

[@HelicopterRidesForCommunists]

Im glad people finally realized the difference between actual Dubstep and what is now more appropriately called Brostep

[@sonicfoxxmusic4281]

What about lyrics for dubstep??.....anybody?

[@jankoch267]

amazing! like always!

[@k1nnay23]

so this is one of the most helpful things I've seen in a long time. (and i just watched deadmau5 masterclass :D)

[@MIGHTNOTBEHSE390]

1:08 if House is about the groove, then what about Bass House?

[@Guilherme-md7vw]

the comment stuff is massive! so obvious but it never crossed my mind

[@g-dub5272]

wah gwaan

[@TheSpectroKidd]

This man said girldem, im crying

[@lukas_wb]

EXAMPLES!

[@LLoBBHa]

House is a feeling, techno a landscape

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

Industrial Techno is now very much like Drum and Bass in terms of banging bassline mixed with the beat of Hard house.

[@xerus7425]

and then people talk about chord progression and I ain't got any idea what that is XD probably something about chords and how they are arranged...

[@andriyakarim5179]

[@agooddaytoplay3114]

You must take a shot each time he says "particular genre"

[@thedancingalien7766]

Run into each other bouncy bouncy.

[@theinitialtopic9038]

"what sort off weird alien made that noise?" haha😂 haha had me in tears

[@retroblue69696]

techno is the art of house.

[@nielsf2704]

Techno is a genre on its own but it comes from house just like trance

[@laketuna]

wrong. house is what you want. techno is what you need.

[@zex450]

Techno has nothing to do with house.

[@curtismills]

ZeX of course techno has something to do with house what are you talking about

[@zex450]

curtis mills Techno was undepended and was developed in Detroit as a seperate undepended genre.

[@deadlinkofficialartst5592]

Dubstep is electronic reggae no joke

[@chadvital9255]

I don’t only make Trap I make dubstep hip hop and more

[@HA11EYS_COM3T]

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.

[@NightBlend9]

Thanks bro

[@nyqa]

Great talks does not need music. This was VERY descriptive and interesting. Awesome !

[@jakegoldstein4488]

lmao. I heard "wah gwan" and stopped there...

[@KonnieFuzeon]

Trance : is mainly about those europhoric ( can’t spell ) vibes

[@Ma.Mama.is.a.StreetDogg]

This is like a scientist explaining a kid about blackholes

[@snorresyvertsenhanisch2284]

30 seconds in I thought your body language said that the video was finished😅😂 it is so fast talking man😭

[@chrisc6261]

ok so where were the explanations.............

[@diegoprods7971]

this guy would explain a picture with 10 thousand words rather than just showing you the fucking picture...

[@sicfxmusic]

Running into each other and smashing noses is exactly what dubstep sounds like lmao

[@RareTechniques]

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!

[@MichaelSeethaler]

Multiplier is mad whack! But in a good way.

[@Iearnwithme]

That intro made me know that I should go somewhere else

[@shen6232]

brain power is the only good dubstep track :^)

[@jenigma1857]

*Wha gwan youtube but man dem and youtube berger dem*

[@unknowngaming1432]

I feel dubstep is the Metal of edm, aggressive and unforgiving and House is like soft rock.

[@PANIC87]

Alan Garner classic rock 😂

[@fernsbefernly9815]

Techno is almost mechanical
