90% of this thread is basically not dubstep, it's more like a certain style of electro house except not 4/4. I don't know why the name has been basically taken over by a totally different sound. This is a track by one of the originators of the genre:

Mala - Alicia

Notice how it doesn't have stupid high pitched squealing noises or chainsaws? Or to be fair, a tune that is more for dancefloors, there's none heavier bass wise:

Joker - Purple City
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bIR_YmiuVw

It's supposed to be about the subbass not midrange 'random' noises (that are entirely predictable anyway now). The 'dubstep' tracks that are mostly linked here is basically a big youtube fad, it's not surprising because it's harder to appreciate subbass if you are listening to music with youtube quality on computer speakers.

There's still a lot of good bass music being released though, with just everyone avoiding the term dubstep totally cause now people think you mean awful shallow shit or bad novelty remixes all at 140 bpm exactly. If you can listen to wobbles and screeching for any long period of time you should really think about your taste in music. It got tiresome really quickly after Coki/Rusko, i think even they were surprised there were people who wanted to hear entire fucking sets of it and nothing else.

Edit: ok i see 1 person who actually knows something linked the Joker track i guess it's an easy example; tbh even his tracks are pretty shallow that's why he plays very varied sets and not just the same style. Here's a different track instead, a garagey type track that sounds unremarkable without proper bass though:

D1 - Chocolate Orange

You know, thank you iNFiNiTY for bumping this thread; I've been itching to use this for a while now.

I don't know, I just can't stand dubstep for the life of me. While I have been coming around to some remixes (one of my friends recently introduced me to Streamline, and those mixes are amazing. If you haven;t heard of them before, look it up on youtube; it's definitely worth checking out), dubstep just sounds terrible to me.

YMMV, I guess.
 
I used to be in love with it then I realized most of it is crap.Its like a DS you have to go through all the Shovelware to find the good games or songs.I like old ass dubstep from like 04-06.
