I feel embarrassed for people who like it... It's not even music just a bunch of terrible sounding farting robots or something with rap thrown on top?!? What has this world come to -_-

People have diiferent tastes in music and when you have a lovely huge sound system blaring dubstep to me it's awesome.

Some people love rock, others hate it.

Some people love hip-hop, others hate it.

Some people love dubstep, others hate it.

It's not like your forced to listen to it.

The Prodigy has some dubstep sounds.

Deadmau5 just made a dubstep song too.

Ministry of Sound have some awesome dubstep albums.

Don't like? Fine with me :P

I don't get it either. Maybe I'm just getting old but it literally just sounds like noise to me.

There's nothing special about it. It's just the latest brand of terrible monotonous electronic music. It's the only kind of music that I have almost as much dislike for as I do metal.

Dubstep is an insult to real musicians out there who actually have talent... IMO I guess...but I guess there are a lot of bands and artists you could say the same for so I'll stop being such a hater :P

I have no concrete evidence to back this up, but I'd say a large portion of dubstep 'fans' professing their love for the genre are simply doing so to get a rise out of folks, or trolling, if you will.

It's like Avenged Sevenfold: it wasn't created for people to hear, it was created to troll forums on the internet.

I have never seen an appeal to it and always wondered why people like it. I've tried a lot many times to get into it but it never works.

That's exactly the way I descried it to my friend.

I have no idea what people see in it. It's a pretty boring genre, to be honest.

I am a huge fan of electronica, but i hate dubstep with a passion, the beats are terrible and the kicks are weak. To those who listen to dubstep, try hardstyle, then replace your music library :P.

There are some dubstep songs that aren't that bad and aren't all just wob wob wob.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agFDh4Fr_Sk

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AQr06ZUlR0&playnext=1&list=PL8EC32C7A01BA9DDE

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvUyPUfmwNU&feature=player_embedded

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqL_g0PVwYE&feature=related

Then some dubstep is just to listen to for giggles if you have a crazy sub

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mwL6R-Z1e4

And not to mention seeing dubstep live is so sick, i managed to catch Skrillex by accident when seeing Deadmau5 and Calvin Harris. The bass and atmosphere of it all is quite enthralling.

Most dubstep dongs are just crap.

One i do like is UKF Dubstep Mix August but yeah even that one gets pretty repetetive, though not as much as other dubstep songs.

There's Jersey Shore wannabes, the nerd/hipster combo, hip-hop fan, the rebel, and the middle-class white girl all in one pic. I think it's pretty obvious that dubstep isn't simply a genre of music. It's the path to unity.

meh. I noticed people started to like it in my school. Mostly the European kids. I rather stick to my good old rock n roll. I like music that requires instruments.

I don't like it either, but whether you like it or not, it is music. It just isn't my kind of thing, it's what I imagine you'd listen to at a club, it's more for dancing to and having a good time to then for listening to intently.

Haven't heard much of it, but I spend a large portion of my free time looking up remixes to songs I like on YouTube, and I've seen some good dubstep ones. Like this one.

Everyone has different taste, so no need to bash it.

Dubstep is an audio orgasm for me. When the base drops, it sends shivers down my spine.
