The new bass drop that’s ruining every trailer

While the musical sting isn’t identical in each clip, the effect the filmmakers (or more likely studio heads) were going for remains the same. Amidst the non-stop action of a modern blockbuster trailer, the audience apparently needs a moment to stop and remind themselves, “This is dramatic and I’m aware of that because of the scary bass noise!” And though it may not be as in-your-face as the Hans Zimmer “BRAAAAAM” or the hit-you-over-the-head meta jokes of recent comedies, if this trend keeps going the way it is the movie trailers of the future will consist of six dubstep drops and a character looking into the camera saying “Here we go again!” But really, what more do you need?
