Is Dubstep the New Musical Avant-Garde?
Season 2012 Episode 6 | 4m 24s
Is Dubstep avant garde musical genius or just unruly noise?
While some people may hear noise, some hear amazing musical genius in the creativity of Dubstep. There is a long history of avant garde musicians and thinkers promoting the concept of noise and non-instrumental sounds as music, much to the horror of their audience. But over the past century, changes in technology and music genres may have changed attitudes to accept these once-fringe music genres.
