So I gave a few of these a listen for the first time, and I don't see necessarily what the "uproar" is. It's got beat, and it's got structure. It's not a mishmash of random sounds. And it's got far more appealing structure than jazz. Fuck jazz.
As a possible explanation for why I find dubstep tolerable, though, is that I went through a "mini-phase" of techno back in high school and college. Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Lords of Acid, Orbital, Moby, Meat Beat Manifesto, Sneaker Pimps, Josh Wink, etc. So that probably factors into why I find it okay. To me, dubstep seems kinda like a 15-year evolution of techno with a hint of Miami Bass thrown in for a little extra "oomph". I still listen to techno when the occasional mood strikes me, but I don't see myself going out of my way to find new stuff like it because I tend to prefer the other widely varied genres I'm a fan of.
I can completely understand why a lot of "full band" fans wouldn't like dubstep. It's a matter of tastes. But still, fuck jazz.

I think gator is just doing life wrong. Jazz is awesome. I can see if you don't dig the free form Jazz fusion stuff, I get that, but to say all jazz is just bad.......I will smite your forever

What's your goal here? Do you want me to suddenly switch over and say, "hey! I never thought of it like that! You're right! It IS awesome!" It's not like I'm Moose and I just hate everything because it exists; I've heard tons of this garbage and it always sounds like garbage. 2Hot is pretending to enjoy it as a joke, and I'm sure rabbxt has been blown by some awesome guys while gacked out on ecstasy and listening to dub step, but those of us who listen to music because it sounds good to our ears can't stand this shit.
I'm not trying to get anyone who dislikes dubstep to get into it. I just see irrational arguments for why it supposedly sucks (like that it's a bunch of random noises blended together) and like to point out the flaws in those arguments. And no, I've not been blown while dubstepping on ecstasy, I listen to it because I enjoy the genre. The same way someone may enjoy death metal, while others enjoy bluegrass. It's all music.
I'm not pretending to enjoy it as a joke. I genuinely enjoy it. I've loved electronic music my whole life. I go all the way back to the early days of Kraftwerk, Skinny Puppy, KMFDM, Aphex Twin, etc... My love is genuine.
