What is annoying dubstep?

[alexfsu]

I just wanted to know what distinguishes annoying dubstep from good--in your opinion.

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.

Finally an answer! Thanks man, that whole evolving thing makes sense, and I'll make sure to check out more of Feed Me and Koan Sound.

i think those two were examples of the more mainstream sound (though that doesn't mean you shouldn't check them out!)

if you're after dubstep which a lot of people here don't find annoying, check out producers like VIVEK, Kahn and J:Kenzo. Also the beats by more old school producers like Loefah and Digital Mystikz evolve a lot if that's what you're after

Or are we talking about what an idiot DeadMau5 is?
