There is not being a fan of a style and then there is a style which should just be rejected, outright. It's like people got bored with what they were hearing and ran out of ideas or simply had no talent in the first place and, to make up for that, decided that this was the answer. This shit is a joke and there is no amount of charitable patronizing that will ever cloak it as anything other than a fucking joke.
By dubstep standards, congratulations! You've done an outstanding job. Dubstep producers have collectively done for electronic music what Motley Crue did for Rock & Roll, Kenny G has done for jazz, and Michael Bolton has done for R&B. People will look back on the moments everyone of them set foot in their respective genres and notice that the climax had occurred years earlier now that the witling phenoms had arrived to collect the cultural detritus still picked over like an old cassette tape of Bananarama at a flea market.
What's funny is that the people who wub wub wub this genre are perfectly willing to take part in the delusion that this passes for fucking music, at all. The sad fact - and it is a fact beyond any disputable subjective outlook - is that this is worse than the music preceding the rave culture. It isn't simply that it is "throw-back" music. It is as though dubstep producers have taken every single piece of music-technology innovation and worked backwards at an incredible pace to functionally retard music to a time well before the birth of Christ.
If cavemen had Reason 6 or Massive, this is the music they would be making with it. It is the musical equivalent of what happens when there is too much inbreeding in populations; genetic malformations begin to occur and take hold to form desirable traits. Much like the smashed face on a Thoroughbred Himalayan, not every trait is conducive to the function of the cat nor is the LFO controlled amplitude of a pure mid-range sawtooth conducive to that which is musical. More to the point, dubstep is mother-fucking retarded.
So congratulations! You made it! If this were a Himalayan and I were in the market for a cat that would die of liver failure in three years, I might buy it.
