Dubstep. You either love it, hate it -- or haven't ever heard of it. US fans of the electronic dance music genre most likely listen to brostep, a sub genre influenced by heavy metal and championed by Skrillex. Skeptics are unimpressed with brostep/dubstep music and many have jokingly claimed that the "music" sounds like a dial-up modem on steroids.

Now, a YouTube video has emerged featuring a dubstep song made only out of noises from a modem, proving the point that it does sound strikingly similar. Check out the video below and fast forward to the 12-minute mark if you want to hear the finished product.

I myself am a fan (albeit a new one) and am looking forward to seeing Skrillex in a couple weeks, whether or not his songs sound like a modem. Do you like dubstep music?

I realize that you don't just sit down and click the mouse a few times. I just think it takes a lot more talent to actually play an instrument.

Actually it takes just as much talent and work to make electronic music as it does rock music, sometime even much longer.

This track, for example, took an entire year to produce. The Israeli producer, named Tomba made all the audio samples he used himself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?...

I liked dubstep before it went mainstream. P.S. There are much better dubstep artists than Skrillex.

I invented dubstep while protecting blue-haired maidens from stumbling revelers.

Now watch as my minions bring me bottled water as I dance with my blue-red socks and hip-fanny-pack.
