Mate, fuck off.
How did you get into dubstep and how is anyone being snobbish? Where were you in '05, '06, and '07?
Just admit that you lack the basic understand of where this music came from that you need to distinguish between 'good' and 'bad' dubstep at this moment in time. Know your role!.
Whatever the fuck man, been into the hardcore from 92, started DJing in 93. Followed every genre that has sprung up off that sound ever since. Dubstep is Hardcore Continuum, end of.
My point was I have heard the same arguments going right back to then. Hardcore v's IDM/Techno heads - "your music isn't proper music", Mixmag refusing to cover hardcore/jungle until it got trency, etc. Then it was Happy Hardcore v's Jungle, then it was Jungle v's Drum n Bass, then it was Jump Up v's Techstep (which imo fucking ruined dnb for YEARS, SO boring), etc, etc.
Same old fucking boring argument.
For the record, I've been into Dubstep since 07, but I have been listening to it's various progenitors since 00 as I used to be on a small tight community with Kode9, I know Grievous Angel, etc. I never liked until it got a bit more Ravey, Benga playing Volume! in 07 showed me the light. Previously I always considered it for Nathan's Barleys who couldn't handle Drum n Bass, however I really like the deeper tunes now, but when I'm at a club I want to hear mostly party tunes.
I know you trendies like to shit on the wobble, cause everyone is doing it at the moment, but it's exactly what happened with dnb. Scene gets huge, loads of folk hop on board and try to emulate the biggest sound at the time. Don't worry, folk will get bored with it and it shall expand and move on. It's just a bloody technique, yes it's a bit hammered at the moment, but don't get so defensive. Things will move on.
