their existing sound and theme), and if they just gave them something which was like "and so wub-wub-wub, goes the

spin-spin-spin" or something... (all sung in deep growls and roars), at which point maybe the producers would be
very unhappy (say, if he was hired on to be part of a tween-pop boy-band, and adolescent females may respond poorly to
bass-filled "wubbing growl-rap", or something...).

This is probably the raddest metaphor that I have ever seen on a mailing list.
BGB FTW!
P.S.
If you want to get this song out the door, I'm totally in. Dubsteprapmetal
might be the next big thing. I can do everything except the drums. We should
write an elegant language for expressing musical score in OMeta and use a
simulated orchestra!
Oh come on, Dub Step Rap Metal has been done before... Korn is basically what
that is... Just because you're not CALLING it dubstep doesn't mean it doesn't
have the dubstep feel.
Interesting, also, that you chose dubstep here, because that's a genre that's been basically
"raped" in a similar way to what has been done to the ideas in object-orientism in
order to get it into the mainstream :) People think dubstep is just a wobble bass... but it's
actually more about the feel of the dub break...<shrug>

Julian,
Generally good points but I'm pretty sure the Korn I've heard wasn't dubstep.
It's also crap. T.M. :D
admittedly, I have never heard Korn (that I am aware of), so have no
real idea what it sounds like in particular. only that I think it is
often associated with Linkin Park, which generally sounds like crap IMO
(although I remember one instance where I heard "something", and had a
response roughly along the lines of "what the hell is this?", my brother
said it was Linkin Park, I was surprised, but don't remember what it
sounded like, much beyond the response of "?... strange..." and "sounds
kinda like crap...").
for some mysterious/unknown reason, my mom likes Linkin Park, I don't
know...
(and, my dad mostly likes music from when he was young, which mostly
amounts to "heavy metal" and similar).
little if anything in that area that generally makes me think "dubstep"
though...
(taken loosely enough, most "gangsta-rap" could be called "dubstep" if
one turns the sub-woofer loud enough, but this is rather missing the
point...).
or such...
