Truesay, but when they dismiss it as all shit then it can get a bit much.

It pissess me off because i don't give a shit if it is over-compressed or not, if it sounds good then i am happy. So yeah he pretty much hate's Dubstep apart from a few songs that he says are alright.

His favourite genre is Jazz... .

Most of my close friends are dubstep fans, and we all go round eachothers houses to dj, but my other friends hates dubstep....up until chase and status. Now everyone seems to be going crazy over dubstep, and now listen to skream, benga, and the rest of the big names.

Obviously it's the same as the dnb situation when you hear someone go 'Yeah I love drum and bass, Pendulum rock!', but on the positive side it means more people want me dj'ing at their parties now

quite a few of my mates like dubstep, but a bigger percentage just don't really feel it a lot of the time, I don't blame them a lot of the time.. it's usually quite a dark and atmospheric kind of music a lot of the time.. some people just want something a little happier and upbeat I imagine.

Yes, and I refuse to listen to them

Most of them, but a lot of it is them just not giving it a chance..

My girlfriend absolutely hates dubstep, and DnB which are 2 of the main styles I listen to, but she can't control the car stereo when she's driving now can she?

Im the only one of my mates that like it. I have the decks in the house so every Saturday when we are getting ready to go out Ill bang on a few tunes and they fuckin hate it. Fuck them, my speakers are louder than the cheddar they are listening to on MTV dance

Most of mates dont really get it to be honest. One of my mates is into black metal and he really likes it when I spin some Distance (Victim support is his fave). I have a mate in Bath that runs a record shop that specialises in dubstep, but he is the only exception.

My missus doesnt get it at all. She likes Duffy and Beth Fucking Ditto so her opinion is totally invalid.

Oh and my mum likes it when she hears my own tracks but its always like: "I dont really care for it but I like it because you made it......" gotta love the old dear really.

That's what my friends keep telling me. But is a quality like "happy" inherent in a piece of music? Sure dubstep MAKES me happy. I don't listen to music that makes me depressive.
But ok, if one wants to hold the view that feeling happy somehow mirrors a quality that is 'really out there' in the tune (which is maybe not the latest fashion in art theory but a position I like too) then dubstep IS a happy music.

Or is it just sadism?

Anyway, (most of) my friends don't like dubstep. That's why I'm here
