It's like I said before, most dubstep I found I don't like, but there have been some, and even some really good VGM mixes.
I just don't like it when I'm all tranced into this awesome melody and all of a sudden it's cut out by WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMP WOMP WOMP WOMP.
SEriously, learn to mix it up properly, and there have been many songs to do this.
Bass isn't new to the music industry, but this need for "only bass" is a bit extreme.
Some peopel like that, it seems the same people who were into big boomy rap type music came into Dubstep.
I love techno, Trance, and all of that, but Dubstep is just ... to me.
You said it's an aquired taste, then saying anyone who dismisses it as a whole acts out of ignorance.
You don't have to like any genre. I don't have to like dubstep because you like it. Saying someone should is ignorant as well.
You can take anything and "build it" upon anything else.
I personally 100000% disagree with that statement about dubstep. As this entire thread was made for, I feel it kills melody. The only thing it builds on, is other "BOOMS!"
But again, it seems like Dubstep has many areas. SOme like to completely drown out the melody and hit the bass, while others do incorporate it.
Dubstep is like DnB, but takes it to a whole-nother B....
This song for example http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR02707/
Has tons of bass, with a nice DnB kick to it. This song I listen to basically every day. The orchestral melody mixed with the good dnb produces an amazing song.
If dubstep coordinated everything together I would like it, but in my experience it's just mostly bass, whenever the mixer feels like it...
