Dubstep is really complex. People generally listen to one track and say "I don't like dubstep". I can guarantee if you listen to drum n bass, you'll find some dubstep or drumstep you can really get into.
Since most people here are drug shy they probably won't understand what dubstep is for. I'm not advocating drug use, but there are other genres of music that don't make sense to some people for the same reason. They are to be listened to in a heightened state of mind.
If you want a category of dubstep to enjoy, try chillstep. I highly recommend Blackmill as a good place to start. Blackmill's music is free on youtube to listen. It shows the direction electronic music can take, and is not limited to the club scene.

It's the next step in the evolution of stupid people, first the movies that's simply about special effects, explosions and so on, completely free of smart story and whatnot, then, it hit the games, casual motion controls and automatic assist stuff that finishes the game for you, and now it's really hittin the fan in music. Simply a beat, or rythm, something like that, no intelligent writing, meaning or enjoyable melody, only sound more or less.
I'm still wating for these people to evolve into defenceless blobs, then it will be easy to get rid of them. And then finally I will get to see a trailer that isn't full of their "music". Seriously, who decided that the thing Assassins Creed lacks, is dubstep?

I love dubstep, but also reggae, hip-hop, metal,dub and jazz because i experiment a lot with music, and i've found those genres the most enjoyable.
Just to make clear, I don't do drugs.
The first time i heard it was in that ridiculous scene in Step Up 3, and i kinda liked it, but didn't know what it was.
I found out in a club when the DJ played a song and a friend told me it was dubstep.
Then i searched for more, and i fell in love...

Maybe it's me being a cynical bastard but all I heard was the same beat and lyrics for four minutes. Literally. If that's the best dubstep has to offer then I'd much rather avoid it.the Dept of Science said:
*sigh* ok whats the point of thease threads? just a passive agressive jab at other types of music you dont like
I like dubstep, though somtimes Im unsure what qualifies as dubsteb or not, its a bit hit and miss but some I like, some I dont
and for fuck sake people SUBJECTIVITY learn what it means

A friend of mine who produces Trance and Progressive linked me to this once
It's probably one of the best dubstep tracks I've heard in a long while. I'm also rather fond of Akira Kiteshi's work also, but I never listen to Dubstep. I'm a purely trance and progressive orientated man, but there are tracks of all genres I'm fond of.
Having said all that, it fucks me off that there Dubstep is being played more at Sensation :/

People will listen to anything with a pounding beat regardless of quality.
They don't want music, they want something to grind to.

Well, it has it's moments. Personally, my favorite part is when it goes "Wub wub wub wub wub wub wub."
In all seriousness, though, it's really not THAT bad. Sure, it's never going to hold precedence over my Classic Rock collection in my car's glove compartment, but after sloshing through the more prevalent "shit" (i.e. the little tarts who think that taking a popular song and drowning out the parts we like with an obnoxious wub wub wub will make them the next best thing on the club scene) ones on YouTube, I actually came across a few that not only showed restraint on the wobble bass, but also gave it enough interesting variations to actually keep me entertained. And I'm sure everything sounds much more magical when you're on 3 hits of extasy.
My inexperience with dubstep might betray me, but personally I found the songs by Mt Eden and Nero to be the better examples of the genre.
The very fact that there may be "good" examples amidst the "shit" means that we can't simply dismiss the entire genre as "not music". Rather, we should focus our frustration on said tarts who on the side probably smoke at our favorite movie theaters, talk loudly on their cell phones at our favorite restaurants, and then go home to mangle our favorite songs when they try to lip sync to it in front of their webcams.
Besides, it actually works surprisingly well as an accompaniment to performance artists.

You know, there's whole genres of rock for which this is untrue.the Dept of Science said:
Hell, ask a Jerry Garcia fan.
While I agree with the pointlessness of "I don't like it, so you're stupid" threads, the openning post really just seems to want more information. Give him/her/it a pass, will ya? ;o)binnsyboy said:
OT:
As always in music, there is good stuff, there is bad stuff and the really horrible.
The problem is finding the good stuff. That hasn't been made easier by the trend musical skill has taken in the last few decades.
Can't sing? That's what rap&sprechgesang is for.
Can't play? That's what music programms are for.
Can't compose? That's what random sample juggling is for.
Can't get famous? That's what the internet is for.
Even if there are a lot of great dubstep makers out there, fabricating tons of great tracks; they still get drowned in the flood of "i canz 2". Really, all you need today is time with a more or less free sound programm.
What I've heard now and so far of Skrillex, there is a serious issue of just putting sound bites in to have done something.
The beauty of the AC:Revelations trailer track is its restraint.
Given, it may have been just the timeing with me on that track, as at a time I got bombarded everywhere with the noisefest that was gaga's born this way.

just because somone can enjoy somthing you deem to be "less of quality" does not automatically make them a brainless dumbass...I can enjoy dubstep, I can also enjoy other types of music, (and BTW everyone has been saying this about pop-music and other popular mass apeal stuff for ageis, its nothing new)
am I saying "OMG dubstep is the best type of music EVAR!!!"? no, I enjoy it when Im in the mood for it, it may seem incomprehensible to somone with (obviously) suprior taste in music, but for some reason alot of people...both stupid and smart do
just like as much as I hate twilight I'm not about to assume everyone who likes it is a completle dumbass
It is great relaxing music. I used to hate it, but then I tried listening to it when i was anxious.
Granted, that is because I mostly listen to EDM, which has a high tempo most of the time. Especially Raggacore, which is my favorite.
Maybe that is because the only artist I listen to is Dave Remmler. Also know as Renard Queenston. He is basiclly a god of EDM, so maybe it is just the artist I like and not Dubstep itself
