I've listened to a few dubstep songs and it's always been an interesting experience. Not my usual cup of tea, per se. I've also seen many opponents of dubstep describe it as only sound versus being real music. Which leads me to my question, Is dubstep real music or only sound?

Of course it is real music. It take skill and dedication to make something sound right and please the crowd. You cant just mix a ton of wops and bops and some vocals together it takes skill as I said.
I am not a fan of dubstep myself, I really don't like it but I still give respect to the artists because they are the DJ's and to program some of that "sound" to their sets must be tough.

A 45 minute compilation of dubstep songs has convinced me that dubstep can be real music. I can't find it now, but I found a similar one:

As with most other forms of music, it depends on what you listen to. Some dubstep is so well crafted with its dirty bass I can actually bear listening to it. There are a few songs I've listened to which were so bad I haven't listened past the first few seconds.

I mean music is just noise fancily put together to appeal to ones ears. Dubstep is like any genre of music there are some dubstep songs that are really great and others are horrible abominations.

Dubstep is not music at all. This is all made on a computer. A computer  is not an instrument. Dubstep is supposed to be ripped off songs from other bands and is remixed into loud obnoxious nonsense.

CrimsonTHRAK : Is this music?

EideticMemory : I've been jamming out to this one recently. I don't really care for track 2 but I absolutely love 4 and 7. (This thread would've been a good poll)

In my humble opinion, music is supposed to compliment a mood,  evoke a feeling or enhance an experience. Dubstep does this for me. It's music.

Dub-step is definitely real music! It takes time a effort to create dub-step, and I adore it! One of my favorites is a Lavender Town remix by Official Solkrieg on YouTube. It's fantastic!

thephantombrain, Yes. I've listened to parts of that track before and loved it!

I'm currently listening to an hour remix for "Monster, How should I feel" dubstep. For a song that repeats over and over, it's incredibly addicting

Note I used song, since I no longer have any doubt that dubstep is music.

Keep answering! I would love to see contrary opinions.

Yes I feel like any kind of music that somebody puts hard work or dedication into is real music. It takes a lot of talent to put any kind of music together and even if it's not my cup of tea I won't down grade it.

It's a sound and is also a music. It takes skills to make sounds that could be categorized as dubsteb and not just some rubbish noise. Rhythm, beats and notes are applied, so it's definitely a form of music.

I don't really know since I don't listen to it much, but I guess that dubstep remixes would be music because they have a beat and rhythm to them rather than just a single sound being repeated. In a way it is just like regular music, but it can also just be considered a sound as well. I haven't really listened to a lot of dubstep to give a more detailed answer, but that is just what I would consider dubstep.

Well, I've heard some people describe dubstep as a "cancer" for music but that's a little harsh. Some dubstep is, in my opinion, befitting of that title (most of Skrillex's stuff anyone?) but some dubstep of it is actual very good and doesn't make your ears bleed. Like any genre there is going to be the artists who have a following but sound like crap, and the artists who deserve their following. I haven't listened to a ton of dubstep but I've listened to some that are actual good, actually listening to some right now. So to answer your question, yes, dubstep can be real music. It can also be a bunch of sounds that make your ears feel like their bleeding to though. Look for the good artists and hold to them.

Yes, it is music. Most electronic music is made up of sounds that by themselves are not musical notes.
I'd hazard and guess and say now, more than ever, ALL genres of music are incorporating these digitally mixed "non notes" to create beats and unique sounds. Due to the digitalization of music production.

As for repetitiveness devaluing a song, I strongly disagree... Basically all music repeats, unless it's avante garde weirdness. That's what a bass guitar is for, drums, and a chorus are... repetition.

And as for something not being music just because it's made on a computer... Is an electric guitar not music? What about a synthesizer or electric keyboard (all of which contain computer components)? Where do you draw the line with that?

For me its just beeps and boops. It doesn't sound like anything but racket. Anything you can make on your Ipod isn't music, now that being said there are alot of people that would think what I listen to is just  talentless animal noise. To each his own I guess. If you like it that's good, like it all you want but I don't.

"GRRR ITS JUST A BUNCH OF NOISE. YOU YOUNG FOLK HAVE NO TASTE"

People who think along that line are aging really quickly, and in an ugly way.

Of course its music, it has rhythm, beat, and its own unique sound.

Dubstep isnt something that can be made by pressing a button. It takes weeks, even months to create even one song. It is far more rhythmic and complex than any sort of natural tune. It takes by far more effort, and can't simply be performed on stage because of that. Give the artists some credit.

Though I personally dont think it's the best genre, it is certainly a good one if you wade past all of the crap.
