Ayeeeee
Must admit, I was gutted when I heard what people were calling 'DRUGSTEP' - proper undersold its name did that 'genre'. I used to spend weekends in K holes spooning a cubic sub amp using my spare hand to try and make tunes. I hoped that drugstep would've had a similar origin haha

shitty remixes that have the hook/intro of the original tune mostly unchanged and after the drop its a completely different, unrelated tune stitched onto it that has no relevance to the first half of the tune.

This visual is priceless. I laughed for a good half a minute at that one.

Shitty youtube comments on dubstep tracks saying how sick or filthy it was.
Or even worse, some of those pricks on that UTR video
Flithy tunes dirtier than a council house flat
Queue facepalm

Ironically, I think that when the inevitable stylistic schism happens and people stop referring to it all as dubstep, the headbanger faction won't call it brostep... they'll just call it Filth. Like Grime's caucasian cousin with a Napoleon complex.
Heh.

The most common picture on dubstep youtube videos after a subwoofer is a marijuana plant.

But I LIKE subwoofers and weed.
Seriously now: without both, there'd be no dubstep. I don't care what anybody says. Y'all can go start treble music for straightedge types, just leave me them big subs and likkle collie.

Blaming bad tune criticism on the listeners speakers (both true and false, but still cliche)

I have to admit that one out of the lot really grinds my gears
yeah when people abbreviate dubstep to dub, it is rather annoying. it's like calling a pigeon a pig, not the same thing..

Yeah don't see why some people think it's bad to take music seriously. Music is a lot deeper to me than just a bit of fun, background noise, something to dance to. As pete said it's art.

I can't remember who it was... but a friend of mine once said "this music is too important to be taken seriously
