That dude is so bald today...and the chick acting like she's singing some big rock song....that is indeed cringe-worthy.

I can't deal with dubstep in a non ironic context.
What is considered Dubstep to Americans, I agree. However, actual dubstep from where it originated in the UK is quite good, where it much more resembles ambient or minimalist house music.
I actually have no idea how the tag dubstep came to be applied to the music known in the US as dubstep.
Can you link me to some proper dubstep?
Burial is one of the more well known dubstep artists, and this is one of his more well known songs:

I'm an Irish musician and love traditional Irish music. I can also handle rock at times. What I can't stand is bands that try to mix the two. If I listen to an Irish band, I don't want to hear electric guitars or a drum set. If I want to hear those instruments, I'll listen to something contemporary.
I love Ethiopian pan flute just as much as the next guy and I love timpani probably more than anything else in life but I don't want to hear them at the same time. Capiche, Ethiopian pan flute timpani fusion bands?
Ok, I know my comment seemed rather open to poking fun at, and I don't blame anyone, but for some reason that infusion of Irish and other Celtic music styles with rock just doesn't sit too well with me. I can't explain why, but when I hear it something just seems a bit off, like that type of rhythm section just doesn't fit with the tunes that are being played and it grates on my nerves.
I take it you're not a fan of Flogging Molly. Or even Slade, really.
