The thing is, genres are called genres because songs in it usually share a certain amount of qualities. If you don't enjoy those qualities, it's unlikely you'll enjoy most of the genre's output, regardless of its quality.
As for GS itself, I found the video to be hilarious, though when you guys said it was a satire, I thought it was of J or K-Pop in general, rather than a particular subculture.
For once I actually want to live in dingoland.
No, you don't.
Personally, I suspect they play dubstep because they couldn't afford to buy CD's of anything else.

ugh.
All rap is awful too, and so is all rock. What the hell is up with jazz anyway, it's so overrated. I can't believe people listen to chart-topping pop music, they must be mindless sheep. People who listen to death metal are just future criminals in the making, may as well arrest them now.
Classic music is the only real music.
You forgot country. Hate it.
Try listening primarily to a genre that's actually widely hated and made fun of. :P
Well, considering I can't actually dance to anything else . . .
Perhaps that would be a reason to want to live here if it was only played at times when you actually wanted to dance, rather than all the time.

Although this is probably just a joke, it was hurtful enough to make me fall out of love with you.
Now now, while dubstep may be toxic it serves an important niche in the ecology of popular music. Over the years the general music scenes have become polluted by stagnation, nostalgia, pandering and bad songs. So musical engineers devised the system of dubstep.
If there is any organism you would compare it to, it would be a fungus. It scatters spores into the landscape and various genres and begins to grow into a toxic forrest, all the while filtering the toxins out of that genre with a lot of poisonous wubs. To maintain and spread this organism a complex ecology of hipsters, party happy dudebros, college students and high schoolers have arisen. Assaults on the dubstep genre cause them to fly into a collective rage, stampeding about the place scattering dubstep wherever they go. Over time, these dubstep forests will filter all the poisons of bad music out of the cognitive landscape, petrify and begin to crumble into a set of music theory.

When I was very, very young, I used to think this.
Also, I haven't found dubstep that pervasive. But I don't go to college parties.
Dubstep hasn't even been prevalent at the parties I've been to. Granted, they were on-campus parties, so there's only so much that can happen. But, well, still.
It all makes sense now.
When I was five, in my case.
Can there ever be such a thing as 'bad music'?
Yes, but the fact is it's different for everyone. What sounds amazing to you sounds like screeching kids to another.
(By the way, I listen to death metal, specifically Darth Metal)
Perhaps not objectively bad, but from a human perspective, audible toxic. Symptoms of dubstep spores include a desire to rave, a fascination with bright lights and glowsticks, nasal bleeding, a migration to turn tables and eventually death as the lungs begin to bleed.
Also the low-frequency vibrations may accidentally emancipate your ear tubes.
Okay, tops. 'Cos, see, I was beginning to get the stupid idea that you guys weren't kidding with some of the things you were saying.
(Dubstep smells like elephant penis, by the way)
No one has actually raved since like, 1996.
Unless you are attending a party in an abandoned warehouse or something, you're not raving. That's what "raving" means. It's a party in an off-limits area, and word is spread only by word-of-mouth.
Anyway, the only dubstep act I really listen to is Burial. Some pop-dubstep is okay.
Gangnam Style is the best thing.
PSY in general is actually very capable both as a singer and a rapper. He usually does catchy pop music, and sometimes he does things like this.
I don't know why embeds don't work right here anymore.
It's not particularly common for many people here to take the arguments seriously.
Leave me alone, I'm ranting. >

I was talking to Formaldehyde.
oh
well then
here's your free waffle.
Just like old times.
Well, I was talking to Acetic Acid.
Liar! I never talked to you during the old times. I wasn't even alive.
Many moons ago when the world was young, Nova and Formaldehyde spoke of loud, wobbly music.
