Great attempt at social research but fundamentally flawed.

This.

They might as well have done the same poll in a rest home.

Truth

The population sample is not random, therefore there is bias. Hypothesis invalid.

I don't agree. You don't need to be high/drunk to enjoy music

i once watched a fireworks show with a blind girl. she really enjoyed it. true story.

I would agree with you that most "14-17" have a serious lack of taste in music. But i am also 16, and i've been into dubstep for over 3 years now, and listen to the track in my sig and tell me that it is lacking sub and that it is overly aggressive. Again, i don't disagree with you, but i'm just pointing out that there are youngsters who know what "music" and "dubstep" is. (Yes, a person at the age of 16, not saying "dub" instead of dubstep)

The reason why the filthier side is more popular is, as mentioned, the young generation listen to music with headphones = not much sub bass.
People in my class listen to dubstep with their computer speakers.
Really dont think i would listen to a deep song if i didnt have any bass either, so I kinda understand them.

that definately seems very possible

To be honest I don't think that is the reason that the filthier, more mid-range stuff is more popular..

when i bought the ancient memories vinyl, the first few mediums i listened to it through pushed relatively low bass levels and the song just seemed empty and boring. i ignored the original for a long time and played the skream remix until i heard the original on a proper rig. a completely different experience and i never listen to that track the same now. i can see the most minimal stuff turning off people with terrible audio systems, but if the tune has enough percussive drive, lack of bass can be compensated for.
