How can you define this music as hard? It doesn't do particularly well on bass. It's 140 bpm so the speed isn't harsh either. Its nowhere near as hard to digest as say Breakcore or Black Metal. It's not got the low ends of drone music or sludge. It lacks the rough edges of hardcore. It lacks the depth of (deep) house or hard techno. It doesn't have the melodic qualities of shoegaze, liquid d&b or any genre really. It's mediocrity in all ways IN MY OPINION. I don't pursue mediocrity.
This music doesn't excel in any domain therefore I never got why people refer to this as hard or heavy. More importantly (to me),
It lacks the three things that set dubstep apart from a range of other similar electronic genres :
Sub bass
Space
Vibe
You can take the dub out of dubstep and replace it with something else (electro, jump-up, barfing noises...). You can compress the space between the beats but retain the 140 bpm rhythm and still call itdubstep. You can transform the vibe from implosion to adrenaline and manly sweat explosion and you can still call it dubstep.
But you'll always be wrong in MY opinion. I'm on my way out of this scene moving along with the music so you can all do with it as you please. The heads will remember. There used to be a time when the dubstep crowd was largely UNDEFINABLE. Remember the days anyone?

"There is a lot of tension in the music that carries a satisfactory darkness with it, but it's also lazy music. You don't have to dance hard to move with it. It was born with a reefer in it's gob."
