Unpopular Musical Opinions

[Runesmith]

I don't hate any genre. There's always gonna be something that stands out in every field of music. Even the acursed word "dubstep" isn't terrible. Like it or not, it contains aspects of music in it. Music cannot just be defined under a single definition other than its sounds that make notes.

I agree with you, but dubstep is the only genre of music I find absolutely no enjoyment in listening to.

I'm not all familiar with dubstep so chances are that I've heard it without knowing what it is. That being said, it can't be as atrocious as that Wal-Mart Pop-Country stuff.

Brostep's bad, yeah, but I do enjoy musicians like James Blake.

British dubstep like Four Tet or Burial is pretty decent. I've heard a few wubstep songs I think are alright, but it's a mainly crap genre as a whole. It's up there with post-grunge, for me.

In PE the teacher lets us put our ipods on through the gym speakers while we're playing a game, and the other day someone put a ton of dubstep on at an obnoxiously loud volume. I was literally getting a headache by the end.

I had a thought, too. Dubstep is kinda like noise rock's douchey younger cousin. I know, it's a long shot, but still...

it can't be as atrocious as that Wal-Mart Pop-Country stuff.

Yeah. To be honest, I don't really care for most country, but that stuff's just the worst.

I think dubstep is much worse than that. Pop-country is inoffensive to my ears; dubstep is just euugh.

(The "post-dubstep" crowd isn't included in my dubstep generalization, though)

I don't like James Blake at all, but he's a billion times better than brostep

90s Post-Grunge > Any kind of dubstep. Hell, Skrillex makes Nickelback look like Pavarotti.

Mainstream country and underground country has the largest hate/like ratio difference for me out of any genre. I like Jay Munly, he's got style.

Nah, dubstep came about from a mixing of drum and bass with 2-step garage, and there's not a whole lot of stylistic similarities with noise rock.

[Ultimatum]

Yeah, there's nothing Noisy about Dubstep.

I really don't mind Dubstep that much. Some of the songs are fun to improv around on drums. The only thing that really bothers me is how so many people are just suddenly obsessed with it and think it's the best thing ever. Dubstep, Kid Cudi, Drake, and Lil Wayne are the only things that some of my friends listen to.

I like what is being done by artists who are inspired by dubstep and other genres, like Jai Paul, Mount Kimbie and James Blake. Dubstep itself is intense and satisfying but quite narrow. It doesn't leave a lot of space for diversity.
