i was like that for a while after i discovered dubstep
i was into a lot of music that was far more musically complex than dubstep but i pretty much dropped it all until jsut recently

if you think about it, virtually all dubstep is super simple in terms of composition, all the work goes into the actually tweaking of signals with synths and effects etc..

that is, after all, why there are so little well-trained musicians making dubstep, just masters of making people move on the dancefloor!

and i find listening to dubstep too much has severely lowered my attention span and patience for listening music!

haha i can see how that could happen but my taste in music has actually broadened even more since listening to so much dubstep...i need a load of anti-dubstep to balance it out

Folk and jazz are good anti dubstep

diversity is key, but with a "genre" like dubstep you're not really limiting yourself much. Silkie and cyrus, for example, are about as different as silkie and j dilla. The only reason they're lumped together is cuz dubstep is kind of a catchall. Not saying that's a bad thing at all. I tend to listen to 90% dubstep at the moment but that's because the volume being produced is a lot, and there's plenty variety as well.

totally but i highly doubt the people listening to nothing but D are rocking anything but wobble...

producers like gravious, geiom, marlow, broken note, kode9, burial, boxcutter, bass clef, 12th planet, gemmy, iTAL tEK, pinch, reso, toasty, shackleton etc all link to totally separate genres!

...and i thought i agreed with you on most things. tisk.

don't get me wrong... im super diverse. i was grooving out of control the other day to michael jackson! before that day i was listening to fuckin madonna for christ's sake! (shhh). that shit needs to be dub remixed, i don't care what anyone says.

but my god man! dubstep is the shit. this is what dominates my time. listening is the only way to ID the tunes that i wanna spin. when im at work im listening to mixes made by other people. when im at home im making my own mixes. (im exaggerating a bit of course) but really it's pretty much dubstep and the odd big dnb tune that does it for me right now.

dude your not "super diverse" because you like pop music. sorry.

I'd say no, cause all of my close friends don't even listen to electronic music at all, except my girlfriend. That is what sucks about living here, it's all indie rock and shit, nobody likes anything good, I always got to show everyone what is UP....

I don't know anyone who exclusively listens to dubstep...in fact I don't think I know anyone who listens to dubstep as much as me and my missus.

Saying that, my recent listening includes:

John Coltrane
My Bloody Valentine
Venetian Snares
Bjork
Public Enemy
Brian Eno
The Bug / Techno Animal
Atari Teenage Riot
Ornette Coleman
Lightning Bolt
Drexciya
Melt Banana
Flying Lotus
Bizzy B
Aphex Twin
The Smiths
Carl Craig
Remarc
Tricky
The Orb
Boredoms
Gil Scott Heron
Wu Tang Clan
DJ Crystl
Public Image Limited
Luke Vibert
PJ Harvey
Shitmat
Serge Gainsbourg

....as well as the diverse pleasures of Joker, Vex'd, Silkie, Kode 9, Pinch, Coki, 2562, Loefah, Martyn, Rustie, Mala, Skream, Babylon System, Scuba, Burial, Goth Trad, Zomby and Distance. And other stuff.

I bloody love music, I do.

That is other genres of music, it's shitty pop.
I like dubstep the most out of everything i listen to but i don't think there is anything wrong with loving one genre.

shitty pop = the worst elements of most music rolled into one

love one genre sure but there is a lot more great music out there than dubstep

Do you have mates that wont listen to anything but dubstep?
