So dubstep seems to be the most popular genre of music amongst the hip kids nowadays. What are your opinions are the genre? I enjoy some of it. A lot of it is terrible though.

It sounds like someone tripped while walking to their computer and slammed their face into their keyboard while fruit loops was open. Then saved it send it into a record company and the record company slipped on the floor and somehow signed a contract. This forced joke is way less forced than any dubstep song.

I like Dubstep music, but it seems that a lot of it isn't that great. Out of the 250 dubstep songs on my iPod, I only listen to like 10 of them.

I like it well. It seems to be pretty diverse or at least a lot of the stuff I've watched on youtube is even though dub-step is generally very bass heavy.

It isn't the most meaningful or best genre out there in my opinion but I still think it's enjoyable. I say good.

I like the Pendulum set me on fire song.

Needs a decent rig to get the most out of it. Not really my bag these days unless I was off my ****. Sayng that the dubstep influenced new wave strain with the likes of James Blake is probably a little more lounge friendly. Still not really my cup of bollocks

I enjoy some songs, but most of them are real bad and retarded. Some dubstep songs that are very popular and viewed on youtube feel like something is drilling your head. I do not enjoy that feeling thus I consider them bad songs so you can't say "just listen to the most popular ones" because you might be disappointed. I have stopped arguing about musical taste long ago so I'm just going to say: Yes, I like some dubstep remixes.

Most of it sucks but it's not all bad. However: I do hate that most dubstep fans can't actually tell what's dubstep and what isn't, especially when it comes to experimental Electronic music. Burial's album "Untrue?" lol, nope. That isn't dubstep. Neither is Clubroot. Neither is Darkstar's "North" album.

I have yet to find a dubsep song that doesn't make my ears bleed. If I want to listen to electronic music, I will stick to trance and progressive.

Wether dubstep is good or bad is pureley objective. Good dubstep is good, bad is bad. Personally I like it. I know if it's really good if it gives me a 'squishy face'. lol

good on occasion, but bad on others.

Skrillex and Deadmau5 have some really good dubstep songs (or one song in the case of Deadmau5, but whatever).

I like them mostly because they have something behind it besides the typical dustep sounds.

I don't know what Dubstep is. Is it that techno-ish music they are always playing at clubs?

:lol: Pendulum isn't dubstep guys. It's drum and bass.

This is dubstep. Also it has good artists and bad artists much like every subgenre of electronic music.

As i have stated before in many a thread similar to this, I like dubstep, but I hate all the annoying kids that talk about how much they love it. and when you ask them who are theyre fave artists they are always borgore, mt.eden dubstep (terrible), Rusko, and Skrillex. you ask them for anyone else and they cant name. because they are simply follwoing the trend

It's got a good time and place, and that is at the rave in one of our local bars. It's fun music to dance or have a drink to and that's how I prefer it. I don't personally prefer listening to it at all times, but it's certainly not as bad as just about everything on the radio today.

Haha so much hate on Dubstep. Agreed, alot of it isn't very good, but thats because most of it is from bedroom DJ's who think "i can do that". Unfortunately, that sells, and the majority of people who hear dubstep, hear that, and think it's all like that.

Luckily, it isn't.

Personally, i've been producing for around 5 years now, and recently started to make a bit of dubstep because i needed a change from DnB.
