Hmmm... I do love intense death soundageness injected into my ear canals!

But slow, empty, repetitive dubstep is annoyingly... slow, empty and repetitive.

Skrillex is my main artist right now, because of the epic intensity, and I try hard to find people who make similar stuff. Oh how I try.

Anyone got any suggestions? OR anything else that's dubstep that I need to hear?

Edit:
This is the best I can find...and its pony related woo hoo. But if you're not for that, don't be put off, because it feels soo good in my ears.

I like one dubstep song so far, and it's this one. See, I've never really liked huge amounts of bass. It just annoys me and I hate it when all you can hear is the bassline. But in that song I can actually hear harmony and melody mixed in there with the bass. The bass acts as the "big guns" while supported by the rest, and the balance blends well. I haven't listened to enough Skrillex to be able to say if I like them or not, though.

Maybe like, one song. I don't really appreciate it as a genre, since it's basically House music with WUB WUB WUB thrown in, but used almost the SAME WAY for every dubstep song I've heard.

No. It is talentless, cookie cutter music with no soul. Try this on for size:

Dubstep is one of my new favorite types of music... but it would appear due to its rather explosively huge surge in its popularity that many people hate cuz its over exposed... which I guess is to be expected... if all people hear is crap they'll think all dubstep is is crappy remixes, which it isn't... anyway, enough speculating... here's one of the first song's I fell in love with

I find some of it intriguing. Its loud and aggressive much like has already been cited sort of like the techno equivalent to metül. To me it feels sort of like a progression of what Reznor was trying to do before the downward spiral when he got too much notoriety and it adversely effected his music.

I remember a time when that ugly bass was refered to as a mistake, since it's what happens when you do something like overload an amp. It sounds like crap. I don't get why anyone enjoys this noise....

I'm certainly not the biggest fan of Dubstep, I just don't see the appeal. To me, Dubstep sounds so computerised, even for Electronic music, almost unmusical. But having said that, I really like the song Cockney Thug by Rusko, in fact, I can tolerate Rusko.

Nope, and I hate saying this about any type of music, it all sounds the damn same to me. Not to mention the sound of it just makes me want to say "Why're you being so obnoxious towards my ear drums?"

Some, like Nero, Magnetic Man, Katy B, they can fuck off for selling out the genre, but artists like Gemini, Skrillex, Trolley Snatcha and DatsiK are all brilliant musicians.

I can't really say I like it, it's more like this morbid fascination I have with it. Sometimes I can't help but listen to it while thinking "Why am I listening to this?!"
