	Clownstep
		Clownstep is a pejorative term used to describe a certain type of sound found in the electronic music genre drum and bass.
		The term clownstep may be applied to any drum and bass artist that falls from favour - even the synonymous description of 'wobble' is almost meaningless as the deep bass sounds of many drum and bass tracks would be described in these terms by many listeners.
		To be fair, however, such a gripe is not altogether uncommon in the world of blogs and message boards (especially the fiercely critical and notoriously scathing DogsOnAcid forums), and it is altogether possible that the clownstep "crisis" lamented by many today is merely a rehash of the "ragga crisis" of a decade ago.

	Clownstep - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The aggressive wobble at the outset of the track is vaguely reminiscent of the other major strain of clownstep, produced by the controversial upstart Twisted Individual.
		This style is most aptly represented by Twisted's infamous "Bandwagon Blues", a track made in answer to the host of artists allegedly mimicking Twisted's admittedly singular sound (Distorted Minds and Clipz are alleged to be among the targets).
		On several select music-community websites, such as ACIDplanet, Clownstep is becoming much of what happy hardcore did to that genre in its time.

		My favorite though has got to be Nuerofunk, but i'm not a neuronerd(someone who only listens to neurofunk and hates all other forms of dnb).
		i donno about the "dolphin jungle" but i dig most types, kinda past the clownstep, i like ragga, dark step, jump up, neurostep, some atmospheric as long as it doesnt bore myself.
		how official are these terms, i know liquid, i know clownstep (its not a genra, it a term to make fun of jump up), i heard of techstep and ragga, so to recap.

		actually "clownstep" is one of the most misused terms in dnb.
		and the only reason it was called clownstep is that the beat rolls in a different way.
		I always thought that clownstep was just a synonym for wobble or nu jump up.

		clownstep is your favorite because you grew up liking happy hardcore, and copious ammounts of drugs.
		you think clownstep is "dancefloor" friendly but the truth is everyone on the floor is so fucked up they wouldn't know if the headliner was on and you LOVE MC's esp. Shabba.
		Had to be edited there just wasn't enough clownstep labels/references in there Chrissy, go and double drop, listen to Genaration Dub, suck on a dummy in your burberry hat.

		[Elhornet] I guess its what your definition of clownstep is. To me, the swingbeat was probably the beginning of that label, although most of the swingbeat tunes in the past were quite aggressive so I’m not sure how the clown comparison came about.
		Funny thing bout clownstep ive found is the more u listen to it, it actually seems alright.
		My definition of Clownstep is not exclusively swingbeat but also includes the nosher sound.....

		Clownstep is the bouncy predictable wobble bassline with the strech semi-drity sythn punches.
		It's slowly evoled into the heavy dance-tech smash drum floor patterns that have groove and easily acceptable patterns to funk to..
		enjoy your hardcore tearout with no dance floor appeal (we do spin DANCE MUSIC) clownstep as some call it will evolve into genuine club music for the massives that is most the time a groove entry point for non DND unknown _unknown_ heads to capture their attention to the fast break sound..

	Clownstep VIP, created by EKM and presented through ACIDplanet.com
		Clownstep is from here on out lighthearted, bouncy, swingy, happy D&B. And other D&B songs can have the swing element, but they are not Clownstep unless they are happy and not in any way shape or form 'hardcore', or 'ardkore'.
		I don't think this is what dylan envisioned when he began the clownstep genre...
		I have noticed that your music is becoming increasingly similar and influenced by elements of ragga and dubcore...

		Off the top of my head there's jungle, techstep, neurofunk, liquid, hardstep, trancestep, clownstep, trancebass/breaktrance, breakbeat, jump-up, drumfunk, atmospheric, jazzstep.
		I could give you examples of most of those, but some of them are still a mystery to me. Its a fast-moving genre with a hell of a lot of people making music in it.
		Well, it certainly has a clownstep element in there, I'd say yes.

		I ran into this John B interview by accident while checking what kind of fun stuff could be found on Google when looking up the word "Clownstep".
		Now since the guy made some really sweet tracks in the past, and he has a new album out, I thought I'd make the effort and find out what he had to say.
		Oh, I also noticed this clownstep merchandise, in John B's blog, which is kinda funny.

		For some reason people just love to say it to show that they're real heads and know there shit or something, if they were real heads they'd know that that goofy sound has always been around just sometimes it wasn't as popular and wasn't made as much.

		His releases on Suburban Base, Kemet, Street Tuff, Dollar and White House are all sought after classics and now that drum'n'bass has turned into 2-step, clownstep or whatever, and all you young'uns think that Squarepusher invented the Amen break mash-up, that's why we've re-released them on the Sound Murderer album.

		Clownstep is a term coined by Keaton from the Usual Suspects to describe a certain bouncy breakbeat pattern.
		It sounds cheesey as fuck, and can be heard produced on the regular by folks like Twisted Individual, Dillinja, Baron, Fresh, etc. The most famous cstep track of all is Andy C + Shimon's "Bodyrock".
