whether or not you like dubstep (I don't) calling it a "laughable genre" is ridiculous. 
 
I thought endless bickering over headphones (rumours, impressions etc.) was annoying enough but we shouldn't be judging other people's musical tastes

It's laughable when it's the same noises and wobbles for every single tune out there. Everyone thinks that's total crap, because it generally is. But to find the good stuff, you have to look deeper and find the darker stuff that is focused on low bass. Example being Skrillex = noises and wobbles vs. Burial = Deep bass and ambience.

I can't agree more with you. It feels a little tasteless to criticize taste. Some like meat, some like veggies, some like red, some like blue, and so on. No need to bash things like that.
 
@Melvins, that was not directly directed at you, just a general thought I have when it comes to internet in general. People are generally not especially tolerant with other peoples taste in whatever..

Hallelujah. I'm not the only one defending a (mostly) good genre against generalizations. I do really feel DubStep is one of the genres where the 'mainstream' sound is just awful.

I tend to explain it this way when my friends question me, there's a lot of good dubstep, but theres a lot of really really crappy stuff too.
On an equipment note all these tube amps look like something from the future to me lol

Theres a lot of crappy stuff in everything that exists in our world.

nah, I was really joking.
 
While I don't like it (wobble wobble wobble), it reminds me of how ostracized people would make me feel about liking hip-hop/rap as a teenager (even honest fundamental stuff) so I suppose it makes me feel like I'm an old man and/or hypocrite .... still would've catch me listening to it.
