    Everyone should just do what I do. DJ music no one likes so it never gets popular and you never have to bitch about it.

    You just have to pretend certain acts don't exist.
    It's the FAQ. Read it.

    Not that it's my place to say what an entire style of music should(n't) become


    same over here. yeah i'm not a fan of flux pavilion and that sound either, reminds me of cheesy electrohouse like bloody beetroots - just different packaging.

    not losing sleep over it though. if kids like that music wicked and good for the artists who are making mad bank horsing around in the studio and playing music at sold out parties - sounds like a good time to me.

    I mean, Cracks was good (IMO)...

    The only issue for me, is that the word Dubstep is completely loaded with negative connotations (and 0 positive ones), that's why I'm defensive.

    Post one dubstep track with a positive message/ vibe.

    It is a genre that feeds and spews negativity...

    Everything is about being in pain, or depressed, being angry and wanting to break/hurt something/someone.

    And raping bitches.

    Or the main focus of the tracks is how novel the sound is.

    Where is the positive energy, or message that dubstep is providing as a genre?

    There isn't any.

    I meant negative as in lacking artistic value. It's certainly dark

    To the extent that they copy a well known track formula, and use well known combinations of sounds, based on the same sample packs:

    There is no artistic value.

    Copy -> Paste -> Music?

    eXo, its obvious you are referring to Brostep, or American dubstep. The root of the current genre is dub, which is full of positive messages. While it is certainly dark, the sweeping generalizations you're making dont serve anyone.
