I think dubstep sounds like a fax machine mating with a 56k dial up modem with a metronome on random tempos.
shitty dubstep does, i agree. as does much popular 'dubstep' these days which is just electronic club music with weird sounds, or some bastardized crap which has a 55 second kickdrum intro followed by a 'drop' of as much audio garbage as possible to make the 'drop' as 'dirty' as possible.
dubstep was supposed to be all about the bass and/or groove. not the random shit that goes in the higher register that it has turned in to.
