I know a million people who started to produce their own music because of dubstep. which is a good thing. but a lot of them are the best examples of this wankery bass focus.
my fault I dont wanted to let it sound like I think dubstep is just about bass. It isnt. but the ugly mainstream feels that way. or to say it better it felt. I am not involved as a follower/fan anymore like a few years ago.

well the "mainstream" dubstep still is usually based on that bass wankery. Actually, it's not even about bass anymore; most of the more well-known dubstep nowadays is about "massive drops" and midrange agressive wobbles. Some of it is good (I enjoy When I Look At You by Emalkay, or Rubber Chicken by Caspa, or much of what Bar9 does for instance), though it does not have the level of depth that some dubstep has, but some of it is really terrible. The worst of all being Borgore, I don't even know how anyone can genuinely like that guy. while i don't have much of a problem with all that stuff in itself - like i said, i like some of it -, the only problem is that it gives people a very precise idea of what dubstep is ("wub wub wub wub wub" aggressive midrange stuff), while it's actually a small fraction of that wide, wide style.
