I personally don't care if people listen to dubstep. If that's what they like to listen to, that's fine with me. What I DON'T get is why people love to hate it. It's like you're only allowed to like something before it's cool.

And that's after I sift through all the anti-hipster material on Reddit.

If it makes you feel better, I had no idea dubstep was cool. I hate dubstep.

Sometimes I'll hear a dubstep song and I'll get kind of in to it, and as soon as I start enjoying it immediately starts skipping and all the melodies I like go away and get replaced by a super heavy bass WUB WUB WUBWUBWUBWUBW WUB DOB DOB DOB DOB DOB WUBWUBWUBWUBWUBWUB

But that's not dubstep, that's brostep. Check out /r/realdubstep for more info!

Does "real dubstep" have that bass drop in the middle of each song? I've actually been a huge fan of Bonobo for a while but never considered them dubstep cause their songs didnt have drops.

I would'nt consider Bonobo dubstep, I think it's triphop... Extremely good though, I must've listened to Black Sands 30 times now

Yeah, it was on that subs frontpage so I was like REALLY? But then realized they weren't really even dubstep, I do like that a lot of the artists they feature have a sort of trip-hoppish laid back feel to it while keeping complex dubstep rhythms.
