What is annoying dubstep?

Not saying Deadmau5 is the almighty judge of music, I just wanted to know what distinguishes annoying dubstep from good--in your opinion. Seems like everyone is slammin the limiter these days to keep up. Particular tracks to contrast would be nice, as I'm relatively new to producing dubstep and am genuinely curious. Thanks in advance.

Deadmau5 is annoying dubstep.

You know what's depressing? I'm wearing that exact same hoodie right now.

Bait video title, talks about it right around the four minute mark so you can skip through and hear him talk about headroom or whatever for dubstep and how it killed mastering or something.

And he called his album "album title goes here" wow how fucking clever.

Dubstep I don't like is annoying. Awful dubstep is annoying.
I don't like most dubstep and most dubstep is awful.

Deadmau5 is a dick and a decent producer that makes bad music that's annoying.

Must be trolling... he described most of the music he plays/releases?

You should be oh so very ashamed of yourself, mister.

annoying dubstep is "loud" (as in everything else goes quiet once the bass kicks in) and flat and boring as fuck cause it never goes anywhere past the drop, and all sounds the same. it's genre cliché's and the same samples and vst's thrown in a blender.
it's sometimes 4x4, sometimes halfstep, somewhere between 80 and 180 bpm, and it's being called EDM by weird people from weird countries.

good dubstep feels alive and evolves. it's like a journey. it's about 140 bpm. and most people don't even know it's dubstep.
and it's over.

I thought music was a matter of personal taste. If people like it loud, they like it loud. If people like to listen to a recording of nothing but me taking a shit, they like to listen to me taking a shit.

if people like it loud they can use the volume knob.
i do love my fair share of very very noisy music but even actual noise music has more dynamics than most overly clean sterile brickwalled club shite nowadays.
thats not a matter of taste but a matter of quality. feed me or koan sound while not my cuppa tea are good quality for example. it's well made music. for a start, it doesn't loop for 2 minutes straight and it's properly mixed down.

Annoying dubstep? They mean brostep?

[Tordal]

and most people don't even know it's dubstep.

[Attila]

Brostep is and will be remembered as what true dubstep is.

[phrex]
