I'm quite curious as to why you all dislike dubstep.
I'm proud of myself for having no idea who any of the artists are you mentioned.
And I hate it because it because the bass sounds like two fat people who are somehow able to have sex fast enough that are thumping against every wall in my house with some horrible high pitched "thing" bouncing around it they're trying to call music.
This poop has probably been around since the late 90's and it flat out refuses to die.
Basically, you know how bigot rock (whoops I mean christian rock) all sounds the same and starts off inherently terrible because every bigot rock band wants to be the "Jesusly [group name here]"? Dubstep is like bigot rock, except it's targeted towards a group of just as dumb people on the opposite end of the spectrum. Bigot rock and dubstep have a similar "retardation aura" surrounding them at all times. There isn't any variety in it at all and it all sounds like predictable death.
Another example of the "stupid aura" phenomenon that applies to dubstep actually is how lots of Weird Al's music ends up better than lots of the rap songs he covers because he can actually sing. All rappers rely on autotune and other poop to accomplish the same task, so when Weird Al does it it just ends up sounding much better because the filter is significantly subdued. The link below is sung better than the original and is a good example of this. If want an example of him poking fun at rock he has a song called "CNR" where he is spoofing the White Stripes. His Jack White impression is pretty damned good but it doesn't sound better than him because jac can actually play instruments and sing.
Also how do you play this poop live in a concert? Hit the play button at the right time on your Macbook Pro?
