Why is it so popular to hate dubstep?

Ok, before the hatred begins, I am dubstep-neutral. I’ve heard a few songs of this extremely narrow genre that I find groovy, but I’m not a fan in general.

I am wondering when, where, and why dubstep became so easy to rag on. There are entire memes about it and stuff.

I am a big fan of electronic music, but I am rather antiquated and don’t keep up with it; I end up listening to mostly electronic made between about 1992 and 2002, haha.

I am also interested to see how this thread will get derailed!
