Not all dubstep is the same.

Some artists do it better while others tend to just repeat the same beats but altered a little bit instead of adding new sounds during the song.

You have to drop it.

I do feel the same. It just depends on WICH dubstep. Some are great, while some others are just metallic sounds going everywhere in your head with no actual sense.

Everything by Skrillix sounds awful to me

People have shown me Skrillex too, and somehow, it does sounds awful to me too. I think Scrillex can works when mixed with another music style.

While I like dubstep, this I agree with. :/

I like a lil classical mix in mine.

This is actually pretty decent

I'm taking a shot in the dark here, since I don't like it either, but I -think- it's the sensory overload. It can get pretty intense on a very basic level, so people who like to have their eardrums vibrated tend to enjoy stuff like dubstep and subwoofers.

Go on YouTube and look up Lindsey stirling She does dub step violin stuff.

WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB!

*dances*

I think.... people don't think for themselves.

It's like

super popular guy: hey check out this shit.

followers: this is awful but we'll like it because you told us to.

hahaha

Or... perhaps different people just have different tastes in music.

nope

Yes

Eh. I can see why people can like it, but I personally don't. It's just a matter of preference, really.

I think the same thing about ridiculously heavy metal and screamo and shit like that. I won't say it's worthless trash, but I can't like it either.

Watched, that was funny..

But.. Really had nothing to do with this topic.

They have a dubstep skit too but I can't find it. Sry if it's off topic.

Oh dude not cool, Relink the one you posted earlier.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXpxnxAL62A < I thought this was off topic?

Doesn't mean I didn't like it.

I said I liked it..

AH

For the sweet drops.


But beats me. I guess the same question could be asked for every genre you don't like.

Yeah but the only other Genre I don't like is Rap but I at least understand Rap, and/or could hum to rap, or have a rap song stuck in my head.

I primarily listen to it when Im reading a textbook and I usually have the volume at about 50%,
I find that I tend to lose focus more easily when I listen to my other music with lyrics.
I also put techno and anime opening songs into the same playlist,
having little to no lyrics (or lyrics I can't sing due to different language) makes them ideal homework songs.

I personally wasn't too much into the genre, until I listened to the Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing Soundtrack.

Outwub got me in.

Tried looking up Outwub on the Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing Soundtrack, nothing popped up..

My bad.

Outrun Bay I think it's called.

Colloquially however, I just call it Outwub, as that is what it pretty much is for the most part.

Seasonal shrine intro also makes a short nifty wub use just IMO.

That song was more Drum and Bass, just having Wahwahs in it doesn't make it dubstep.

Dubstep is similar to rap and metal - the majority of it is absolutely terrible, but there are a few gems here and there. Only difference being is that in metal and to a lesser extent rap you can audibly tell when people are doing something very technical/skillful

To me it's only good when mixed with other things; by itself it's pretty bad unless you are just wanting some sort of "trance" music.

Buuut it just amounts to personal preference like all music though.

This is possibly irrelevant, but I didn't like dubstep at all until I saw this video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afcudstM9zA

Now I like dubstep only a little bit.

Yeah I think that coaster would be better without the dubstep parts.

People like Beiber too, so I guess anything is possible *attempts to fly*

people think miley cyrus is hot even.

Oh gosh!

I agree with you there I am not a fan of dubstep honestly it just sounds lazy to me no melody at all and it just reminds me the downward spiral a lot of media has been taking its always nice to find stuff that still has effort to it, however most dubstep is just awful there is some exceptions I have found though

everything by Lindsey Stirling

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHjpOzsQ9YI

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sf6LD2B_kDQ

and this song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lJwnCeTWxE

other than that most of it is just terrible

:3 gotta say Lindsey Stirling's Shadows is such a great song... and Transcendence.

Yeah it's dadaism. LOL

I dunno, most of the songs I hear doesn't sound like music and the songs with dubstep sprinkled on sounds very annoying (Like SEGA All-stars transformed racing soundtrack)

Hmmm... when people say "dubstep" I immediately think of Skrillex, who I am not a fan of in the slightest. Using his music as an example though, I really don't even consider it music. I really can't even say what exactly. The way I hear it, think of like some giant tornado of tanks and metal and shit just exploding continuously. Or just a dying fax machine. When I hear those "sounds", this is what I imagine.
Evidently there are different types of dubstep. The only difference I can tell is that some of it sounds like death (and not in an awesome way) and some of it sounds acceptable to a very limited extent, fuck it, maybe even kind of badass.
An example of something that just sounds like a dying dial up connection to me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJVmu6yttiw
And something that I would actually go out of my way to hear http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bM8xByCbjFM
I'm not sure if the latter is even really considered dubstep. I kind of want to say no actually. Only because I think it sounds good. To be 100%, I do like the way it sounds but if there was no guitar or drums, I probably wouldn't like it much at all. Personally, I just like real instruments. The thing that goes against this though is that I can listen to CG/synthetic music and think that it sounds good, yet I despise 99% of dubstep. It also gets to the point of where I don't even really know what "dubstep" is. Is it like a new name for techno or electronic music? Because that stuff is still there. I've basically come to the conclusion that dubstep is like the reject scraps of drum & bass thrown together with some annoying screeching noises. Basically imagine remixing nails on a chalkboard. That is dubstep.

I don't get it either but I think it's because my ears are VERY sensitive to certain sounds, like the usual dubstep sounds.

Dubstep's real? I just thought it was some kind of made up music for that world that Clap Trap came from.

There's a lot of things that are popular that people don't seem to like.

It really depends on the artist doing the song.
There are ridiculous ammounts of songs with only the "wubs"... I hate those.
There are on the other hand very nice songs too.
For example take this japanese dubstep song (Actually from the Rythm Game Pop'n Music) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSFxU6PDzqw

Klaypex is another example that sounds nice from time to time.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0a-o16i_Gw

But it's it really is a taste thing. As there is different Metal, techno and so on, there is different dubstep too.
Some likeable, some just outright ear destroying.

Dubstep be amazing SOMETIMES. It all depends on the artist *cough cough* Skrillex...

With skilled musicians, dubstep can work as a legitimate medium. I remember the first dubstep I really friggin' liked, a remix of Salon Shootout (you can find it on youtube). The drumwork was amazing.
But a lot of people use it in a lazy way, the majority thinking that it's just a quick way to make crap music cheaply... which it kinda is. Rarely is it done particularly well. But when it is, it can be awesome :D

It MUST be ironic; Lord knows there's no actual musicianship involved.

What do you think of this? I've always ADORED Klaypex, ever since I saw a mashup of their songs on a CorridorDigital video :3

Mostly this is because they tend to have quite a bit of vocal sampling in their songs, which I dunno why, but makes me addicted to it :3

And just because I found this again while looking through their music, here's the link to the video that introduced me to these guys :P

I don't know if it counts as dubstep, but I do like when some industrial noises suddenly start to sound like music. I think it's great, when you can find beauty in everything.

The worst thing is that they keep adding it to video game footage thinking they go together somehow :\

I used to hate it, but slowly started to be neutral against it hearing it on Diorexity's stream all the time, then found a song that was surprisingly melodical, found some more, and started to like it, hiding it in front of others :D then less and less..now I listen to different sort of stuff, liquid D'n'B, dirty dubstep, mix of those, even house at times, metal, rock, punk rock etc...as some people said, there are different kinds of it, and not all of the songs are just mix of unindentified ugly voices mashed and stuff...

I dunno. If I hear dubstep with good melody and pacing, I tend to think it's actually another genre and simply misclassified.

I think there is not really a system in it yet :D

Sum stuff I like and it's mostly mixed with other styles...(dubstep and drum songs)

Dubstep reminds me of what happened back in the late 80's when techno was in its infancy. As in, people would play with the equipment and do all kinds of weird crap just to see what the instruments could do and what sounds they could make. Then they stopped fucking around and actually started to make the music. ;)

Most dubstep is far too random and chaotic, even to the point where the melody and rhythm aren't synced to the same beat. That stuff sucks. Aside from the wub, the worst part is when the melody runs at half the speed of the rhythm and percussion, so I just want to yell into my speaker, "speed up, dammit!"

Speed garage has a similar sound to dubstep, and is better if it's done right. Shame there are few good examples of the style, but it's worth looking up.

A lot of the old MODs I made on my Amiga in the 90's sound like dubstep... minus the wub wub. I used looping bass instruments for melody all the time (with mixed results). Of course, that's largely because I had few instruments in my collection. I made new instruments by clipping the hell out of string instruments I recorded from movies, and then filtered away the clipping. Terminator 2 was one of my favorite movies for sampling. Vocal chorus works surprisingly well for the clip/filter method I used and sounds a lot like the buzzy bass you hear in a lot of dubstep songs.

Thanks for writing this. This was worth reading as most of these comments aren't that educational :D

Well, i find dubstep enjoyable when i play FPS games.. just saying..

the beats kitty the beats

But there aren't any beats... That's the problem!

i dont know what kind of dubstep you hear xD

Not a fan of dubstep myself, although I admit I am nevertheless tempted to craft a version of it that consists of sounds taken soley from dogs.

I shall call it... Dogstep.

(DROP THE BARK! (WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF))..

.. I am perhaps a terrible person.

I don't know why I like it... I guess I just like the heavy bass. There is some dubstep I can't stand, but others are something I can bob my head to. Then again I just like it because I can mellow out to it. The constant beat makes me relax. I'm not one to get up and dance to it, I just listen to it when in chilling in my room.
Not everyone enjoys every genre of music... Like I for one cannot stand pop and country... Everything else is alright, especially classical. I think it's just people have different tastes...

If you are reading this comment, because the other comments are not very educating, thank you for reading this far down the list.

Dubstep is a music genre distinguished for it style. It has been around for at over 10 years from what I have seen, but I have only learned about dubstep maybe around 2009.

Dubstep is a combination of 2 other music genres.
'2Step' is one of the music genres. I believe it is very close to drum and base.
'Dub' is the other music category I believe sounds very mellow with low bass tones with reggae elements that have put emphasis on sound effects like echo and reverb.

Like all music, dubstep is a audio expression which activates and triggers your senses. Attend a symphony with a live orchestra, your body will go into waves of emotions! Dubstep does the same thing.

Skrillex is not dubstep music, he is a different class of electronica music. And to call dubstep sensory overload is ignorant because all music has this effect. Dimebag Darrel had an ear piercing, gut-wrenching, power with his guitar *especially live* while playing in a band called Pantera and he did it knowing that people would feel different effects from his music. Some would even say they had orgasms listening to his guitar solos. Sure it is heavy metal and not dubstep, but I am trying to express the experience when behind the audio waves.

I don't like 'country' music at all, but I won't call them lazy or untalented. It's just not my music. But I really can't stand country

I've actually seen people blare dubstep in their skull candy headphones when walking to class. it was early in the morning though, so if thats what it takes to stay up.... they will lose their hearing by 30

People also legitimately like rap

At this point it doesn't surprise me too much what people like

I'm very picky about dubstep. There are only a few dubstep songs I do like, and I'm not even sure why... I guess most of them are repetitive like you said, but if there's some good variation, the "wub wub wub" can be very cool to listen to xP It all comes down to taste.

I don't think dubstep is always bad but I prefer electronic rock

I heard you don't like dubset.
Ehm... I'm not sure if I can identify dubstep but what introduced me to that kind of music (loud electronic music) was this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5KC1E5NyR0 it's Jake the dog showing how to dance to a bug.

As I said I'm not sure if I can identify dubstep, but this song is very good http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYgSHOWNE0M it's called Rattle, I like it and many songs like that that make me feel things.

Ah, that is because you have been hearing garbage. The definition of dubstep has been ruined by Skrillex.

Take a look at this, my friend: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEXZdvHptWg

Personally I can't stand dubstep, but a sub genre chillstep I find interesting. I cannot listen to it on a regular basis like most do, but there are occasions that I really enjoy it. Like when I am trying to take a nap or when I'm driving.

Nothing can beat the sound of a Subaru WRX with Lindsey Sterling playing in the background.

Pretty much agree with you on this one--most dubstep sounds like the same wubby nonsense to me.

But have you ever seen the anime Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency? It's awesome, and the soundtrack kicks ass. There's a couple tracks with dubstep thrown in, but they're not bad. Give these a try:
