http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubstep
notice how it says dubstep is a genre of music in the first sentence.

Not for me.
If I were to write that article, it would be a genre of ear tormenting.

You can't really say things you don't like aren't music just because they hurt your ears.
I know tons of people that call this not music and even painful but it's a song I heartily enjoy (and I think is one of the best songs released in the last decade).

Music: "Music is an art form whose medium is sound and silence"

Dubstep is an art form that used a medium of sound and silence. Bam. It's music.

I am not contradicting you in any way, but my personal opinion is that Tunak Tunak Tun is better-sounding to me than dubstep.

This is not a discussion of what sounds good or not. Music doesn't need to sound good; it just needs to have some noise or lack of such.

Yes, I know that, but I still think Tunak Tunak Tun is better.

Also, a lot of dubstep artists (Burial) sound nothing like Skrillex.

dubstep is definitely music, but it's not necessarily enjoyable for all

Dub step is modern day dialup modem.



I'm ok with this.

I didn't read all these but i have only just gone into DupStep and love it, Skrillex is amazing i love Scary Monsters and Nice sprites, and Rock'n'roll. I haven't branched much from him but i do enjoy that kind of music

I think we all have different ideas of what can or cannot be considered as music. That being said, this post doesn't really offer a useful conversation to this thread and seems more like a comment intended to provoke others.

When it comes to posting in threads, I think it's better to stay away from topics that we know are not going to enjoy, or if we do choose to post in them, we post our opinions in a respectful manner. Otherwise, if there's nothing nice to post, better to not post it all.

Agreed. Both "Ego" and "Mirror" are great.

Also, if anyone wants to listen to a really old school dubstep song, BAM.
