I’ve found the solution! Perhaps an inkling of hope!
It turns out there’s a reason dub-step sounds horrible to us. It is because, so far, we have yet to listen to it on acid.
Yes, you heard right! Dub-step is not meant to be enjoyable unless the listener is tripping on acid.
I have yet to validate this experimentally… but I expect when one takes acid and then listens to dub-step, they will have a good reaction upon dropping the base.
