Do any of you listen to anything that's not ***core like Skrillex?

I am not a big dubstep fan, but there are definitely songs and remixes in this genre which get me going. Usually they contain also some DnB.

Burro Music.

I think dubstep is one of the most overrated and overused genres of the last decade, with many artists using it to create unoriginal and uninspired music. I nonetheless think that if an artist uses it (dubstep) to do their own thing, then it might actually turn into something original. My personal favourites would be Pendulum, Celldweller and Blackmill.

Have you checked out some of the recommendations in my thread? I think you might surprise yourself if you open your ears. People hear one thing they don't like about a genre and suddenly the entire genre is terrible?

It sounds like you're addressing it the wrong way. Dubstep isn't really a tool that an artist might "use," as much as it is just another genre that an artist may make music that it sounds like. For example, Pendulum and Celldweller don't make dubstep, but some of the roots of their music are similar roots for much of dubstep. Calling it overrated is fair, but it doesn't sound like you've listened to it enough to make an umbrella statement that all of it is uninspired.

What kinds of things do you like about Pendulum or Blackmill?

I'm such a keen fan of the Please Mr Postman Dubstep remix by Cragga (sadly can't post it due to my being under the 15 post limit). It's got a very wide and entertaining bassline that moves around a lot, plus the voice just inspires joy, I think it's very well put together.

Someone mentioned Mt. Eden, he's got some great tracks. Sierra Leone was one that was instrumental in turning me to Dubstep.

I'm also a Bar 9 fan, Strung Out is a playlist favourite and so is Murda Sound.

Mt Eden Dubstep is great eh! It makes me proud to be a Kiwi.

This is the best newer track I've heard in a little while. After you've listened to so much dubstep, you think you've heard it all...but this drop is just vile.

I really like Rekoil in general, and goddamn this track.

I've really gotten into Eptic and Habstrakt recently, they did a colab called Ninja Challenge if anyone wants to look it up.
