I absolutely despise dub step. Add an 'M' after the 'U' and that's about right.
How people can say that hardcore and metal music is 'just noise' and then listen to that nonsense is beyond me. At least the noise in hardcore/metal is made by musicians playing instruments and not some douche pissing about on a computer looping audio snippets of R2-D2 reacting to various scenarios. Honestly, it sounds like the Terminator masturbating at a rave most of the time.
At least there is a bit of substance through the chaos with heavy guitar-based music - deep lyrical meaning perhaps - but, with dub step, it literally is just random computer effects all tossed into a blender to form the most disgusting, robotic smoothie you've ever tasted.
'I know, we'll repeat the same tediously basic drum beat for 3 and a half minutes with the odd meaningless lyric appearing on occasion whilst rattling every key - sometimes more than one at a time - on a keyboard switched to the 'DJ' setting and then we'll edit it to fuck by putting every conceivable digital effect on the entire thing.'
That's what I believe the thought process to be when creating a track/album which sounds similar to a Royal Rumble between all of the Zords from Power Rangers. Everyone has their own outlook and taste, but dub step seems to me like a completely pointless and unsatisfying genre.
