'Clean' conjures up images of commercially produced auto-tuned pop music that is catchy but has no depth.

'Filthy/Grimey' makes you think of dark gritty South London basements with rough basslines rebounding off the walls.


Although the word 'Filthy' has now sort of been reserved by the morons who like the chainsaw clownstep Dubstep that the Circus crew etc. produce

There is clean dubstep:

James Blake
Mount Kimbie
Joy Orbison
Scuba
Martyn

they're just not really known as clean dubstep, just call them 'intelligent dubstep', mind the '...'

Is dirty really intelligent?

Or is it on the same par as sarcasm when it comes to humor?

eh???
Read the original statement again. The DJs I mentioned regularly play Circus tunes so I guess they like them.. hence they are being called morons. Do I have to spell it out Sesame St style?!
