Dub vs Trans

So I was talking to a group of EDM lovers, and found out a lot about their different interests. This group was separated to particularly trans lovers and dubstep lovers. It was funny because you could see both sides rooting for their personal preference through their discussion. It really relates to the video that I found on BBC because one side understands dubstep while the other doesn't. Some people from the trans side described dubstep as "devil's music", "the evil side", or "freaky". Dubstep lovers said that trans was boring and hard to dance to. Being part of the EDM community, I decided to put in some of my input as well. I actually do enjoy listening to trans as well, but I don't enjoy it as much when I'm at a an event. I like listening to it when I'm driving or when I am cooking, not when I'm trying to dance. Surprisingly, many of my dubstep friends agreed. Additionally, it was really interesting to find out that we all enjoy the trans when it was mixed with electro. Much of the music played at venues in San Diego and sponsored by LED relate to this category. So I really want to find out more on how maybe the San Diego community plays a part in genre preference.
