Can't you learn to accept opinions?

As long as they're not as retarded such as bringing up politics for no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ reason, sure...

I remember coming across one dubstep-based YouTube video (it was the only video on it's channel) where the uploader stated in the description that he had no musical experience whatsoever and that he only made the video in question to prove that any fool can make dubstep.

(Forward: Those who dislike dubstep because, hey, you heard that one Skrillex song or YouTube remix--the ending paragraph is for you.)

Not that I'm adding anything particularly mind-blowing at this point, but let me suggest looking at it in the reverse:

"Why do people like dubstep?"

Bass, rhythm, and drops. Or at least that's what I figure--the elements of "dubstep" are seemingly these three. We might narrow it down to, "over modulated bass, dance rhythms, and visceral drops," or however you like, but the gist remains the same: This is a genre of music based in EDM or IDM, that likes simple, but effective song structure and sound. Once you start getting into more "progressive" dubstep, this still might wane, but I doubt it'll ever be *untrue.*

So if you're going to say, "I hate dubstep," you indicate that you dislike one of the defining elements of the genre, or any combination. Unless you are simply reacting to it's popularity and use, of course.

And a special mention to brostep and more traditional dubstep: It hails from South England and actually has such stylistic organs as electronic reggae, traditional reggae, drums and bass (DnB), breakstep, etc. It was really the "blues-to-rock" evolution for EDM in that it came naturally from simply pushing the sensibilities (and ♥♥♥♥♥♥ bass and mid EQing), and combining influences. When it finally drops (no pun intended), it was a 2-step garage b-sides. As per usual for the genre, it largely skimped on kick drums, used limited vocal sampling, and has high bass, both in instrumentation and EQing. The task almost seemed to be to combine the irregular (non-four-on-the-floor) beats of 2SG with DnB influences--minus the actual drums, in most cases. Brostep (not only Skrillex, though he's arguably fringe-brostep anyway), is a further evolution of this. Brostep boils dubstep down with an A-B yielding process known as, "turnin' up the bass and mid." As if the previous expansions weren't enough. More than that, this music generally features more intense "drops," and seemingly insanely overmodulated bass with more low-end oss. Friendly beats, friendly features and melodies, limited but compelling harmony and chord structure (if there is even any). Note that the drums were never really "cut," at least not entirely in either case, but simply "distilled," and often without the kick.

If you found yourself disliking Skrillex for his drops or sound, but still think you'd enjoy the "feel" of dubstep (such is the case with me), check out the earlier or more traditional projects, such as:Shackleton, Digital Mystikz. or anything dubstep from the label Tempa (for the most part)

It sounds like two blenders procreating.
Hell, I can make dubstep if I took two blenders, turned them on, pushed them against eachother and recorded it.

I just played the first song I could find by Digital Mystikz (Haunted) and Shackleton (ELECTRONIC EXPLORATIONS), and I really can't see this being much too different from the dub-step everyone knows about, sorry. If anything, I think I like these even less, since these two remind me of that Grime music that was once popular some time ago, I didn't like that either. Guess it's fair to say that me and Dub-Step were never really meant to be, I guess.

[grounded in reality]

I used to like dubstep when I was a little kid.

Then I found better music.

Because I prefer soul-crushing death metal.

I tried to listening to some of their tracks.

Digital Mystikz's music feels dull and almost like it's not going anywhere.

Shackleton feels like uninteresting ambiance music.

The only good thing I can say about both them is there is good harmony in the way the music is composed.


Then again my taste in music is how it affects me.

For DubStep it varies depending on the theme.
