This is as much miming as Dubstep is music. I the last BoingBoing Dubstep post, I tried to humorously bash the genre, but sadly my anon. trolling was edited to 1 line.

I’ll stick with D&B or Jungle, where at least the no-talent hacks are relegated to the red-neck clubs trying to make a buck. Just when I thought Dubstep was dead, those ironic hipsters thought it would be a perfect way to piss-off mom.

Dubstep DJ’s of the world, honestly, set fire to your hair. The smell will be more entertaining.

    That’s why he’s wearing the skull cap. Wearing a helmet might be more appropriate for some of these kids.

    Some of us subscribe to a different kind of fun. I think we’d get along, I like complaining about shit too.

  Had to pop into the comment section to see if it flushed any geezers out of the woodwork. Glad to report that you didn’t let me down.

    Something that is ‘new’ (not that dub step is new) doesn’t make it ‘good’, and not liking it doesn’t make you a ‘geezer’.

  If you don’t like the music, don’t listen to it. Wow, problem solved.

  Mate, you do realize that the last minute of that video is Drumstep. Alas it’s a DnB video on some sort of respect. ;)

Haha, his face is like one of those Windows Media Player visualizations!

And the Notre Dame gargoyles on his shirt.

with the distortion he looks like Matt Damon for some reason.

It IS Matt Damon! lol

Obligatory comments bagging on dubstep for no real reasons. Implication that anyone who enjoys it has no taste. Polite suggestion for dubstep artists to perish in combustion.

so edgy so cool

Music is a form of artistic expression. Who are you to say that one form of music is better than another??

I would like to see the same treatment on some Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass

He’s using the “stretch” effect in Photobooth and iChat AV on the Mac. It’s a brilliant use of the effect which happens to be one of my favorites.

I couldn’t finish watching the video; I found it weirdly uber-disturbing. :/

I… I had no idea this is what techno looks like to others. I must go to bed now, have nightmares, and apologize to everyone in the morning.

That was hilarious! My spleen is about as stretched (and probably as achy) as his face…

I just figured what he reminds me of: some creatures in Yellow Submarine with big open mouths, who spat out pictures…

Looks to me like he was inspired by Rubber Johnny.

I like dubstep and I like funny images so I think this is pretty awesome!

I started animating some stuff over Mr. Dubstep Mime. I can’t stop laughing.

I just watched the video without audio.
Oddly mesmerizing.

There is a very skinny iron in the background.

You’re right. The image seems to have been altered in some manner.

Oh my, this gentleman has enticed me to laugh, as it were, out loud.

Provided me with laughs for 3 minutes.
Also, perfectly reflects (squares with?) how I view dubstep. I wouldn’t even call those people DJs if not for the fact that I mildly enjoy music which sounds close to monkey torture.

It’s simply an optical illusion produced by the squarity of his head.
hogan44

i have that iron. the chubbier model. its broken. maybe he’ll lend me his skinny one.
bcsizemo

Oh gawd.

When did Google/Youtube buy Myspace? That background….all I can say is at least it isn’t static and everything scrolls over it.

*shudder*

I would rather listen to and watch sloths shit in front of a wall whose fresh coat of paint was still fascinatingly drying all the wall getting punched in the temple by this kid’s grandmother.

He was entertaining. Dubstep, however, still isn’t.

I have to say I couldn’t stop laughing once it got to the drop. Oh man the looks that his face + the distortion filter made were hilarious!
