A doppelbanger is the
dubstep equivalent of a doppelganger. It's when someone makes a heavy
dubstep track but it sounds identical to another heavy
dubstep track. Some particularly popular dubstep artists who get copied a lot are Datsik and Getter, who have revolutionized their styles.
Generally a doppelbanger is created on accident, but there are certain people who try to copy artists and songs on purpose. These knock off songs are intentionally made, so they're not doppelbangers. They're clones. And no one likes a clone.
C: Did you hear that new Symbiotic track? It's HUGE!
J: Yeah but dude it's totally a doppelbanger of Haggard by Getter.
C: What? It sounds nothing like it.
J: Dude listen to them both. You're fucking stupid if you think they
don't sound alike.
