Do you have any friends that refuse to listen to dubstep?

It's mainly all my dnb friends. They just refuse to listen to any other type of electronic music. I'm a junglist at heart but there's only so much you can listen to before you want to hear something else. To me, dubstep is a really fresh sound but no matter how much I try to convert my dnb friends, all of them say the same thing: "it's too slow..." I try to explain that it's made to sound half tempo when it really isn't. Oh well, like Steve Harvey said on the Kings of Comedy, "if ya'll ain't feelin this, i dont' really give a damn..."

Yeah i do. In my group of friends pretty much all of us love it but one of them is a music student at college so always looks at music in a technical way and can't enjoy a song because aparently it's "over-compressed" or something like that. A lot of the time i swear he doesn't even have a reason not to like the songs he just makes up some technical music bullshit and says it just to criticize it.
It pissess me off because i don't give a shit if it is over-compressed or not, if it sounds good then i am happy. So yeah he pretty much hate's Dubstep apart from a few songs that he says are alright.
His favourite genre is Jazz...
.
Edit: He said that the Bassline is this song is over-compressed. I actually wanted to hit him ha -

completely understand how annoying it can be, my best mate loves house as much as i love dubstep, and we disagree on songs and that. but at the end of the day, i can always bring out tunes that he will go apeshit for, and he can do the same for me. so dont worry, theres something they will like, i promise you.
one of my mates just loves his RnB, and i still find tunes he cant get enough of.
everyone loves dubstep secretly

I try and push it all the time whenevr I go somewhere where I know they don't be on that tip. Songs like "Cave" or "Changes" goes over smoothly. Basically if it's mad meldoic. Other things them.....well..............

Same really, my dad likes it though hahaha but my mates like pop really and R'n'b so I dont really have much room if it isnt in the chart!! They even had me watching Lady Gaga over The Specials at Glasto (which I no isnt Dubstep but come on its better than Gaga) lol

A lot of girls i know aren't into it cos they don't know how to dance to it!
I say to them; just got nuts till your legs break off!
Im glad there are still people who don't like it it tbh.. im a little worried about it getting too big and ruined like hip hop / D&B and the rest...
fight the power!

LOL I had a friend who made a comment like that. "I can't dance to this!". I'm thinking like "if you can't dance to the swagger of this drum pattern you're a lost cause"
I've actually been to house parties where they'd be playing country and/or S-Club 7, and I'll throw on something...something real heavy. And within 2 min they're like "What the fuck is this? NO NO NO!"....put S-Club 7 back on and start their lil weird dance that's off beat and non-rhytmic.
I'm the black sheep of the town I live in right now lol

I tie them up and force them to listen, then they come round
