Dubstep is to 2012 as chillwave was to 2011, i.e. a widely mocked musical genre that’s staggeringly popular. But unlike chillwave or aquacrunk or crunkcore, dubstep is going nowhere, and may even be more popular in 2013. The horror. You know what else is inexplicably popular? Elaborate Christmas light displays that annoy neighbors and seizure-havers (medical term) alike, but one house in Meridian, ID, synchronized Skrillex with Santa by transmitting the WUB WUBS on the radios of passing cars…and it’s much cooler than it should be.
Meanwhile, the Hanukkah house down the street called the cops, complaining about all the commotion, maybe?

There’s almost never an excuse for dubstep, but I’ll allow this. I still got a little bit of sick in my mouth.
“dubstep is going nowhere, and may even be more popular in 2013. The horror.”
Wow. More dubstep jokes. That’s so funny.
You DO realize that there’s a vast plethora of producers and styles other than Skrillex… right?
You, of course, realize that by pigeonholing all dubstep as being as in your face and extreme as your limited knowledge of dubstep=Skrillex is akin to the conservative jackasses who rally on about how all popular music in the black community glorifies killing cops and features mouth noises… right? Also, this just in… not all rock bands dress and sound like W.A.S.P. I know it’s terribly witty and hilarious to bag on musical genres you don’t care for, but when I do it, I’m aware that Toby Keith doesn’t represent every country artist’s sound or subject matter. I doubt the maligned Dixie Chicks wrap themselves in the flag they’ve never actually served under and rally their fans to harass “towel-heads.” I know this stupid one-off X-Mas post doesn’t merit this long a comment, but can we please make fun of music other than dubstep for once? Jesus wept.
Are you the Techno Viking??
I got to the QQ, then TL:DR
This really needs a “Warning May Cause Seizures” message.
With the exception of The Widdler dub step suuuuuuucks
