Basically what makes dub step unique from other electronic music?? I can't really tell the differences between dubstep and most other genres of electronic music.

Coaster is kind of right
it's all about the LFO's
Low-frequency oscillation (LFO) is an electronic signal, which is usually below 20 Hz and creates a rhythmic pulse or sweep. This pulse or sweep is often used to modulate synthesizers, delay lines and other audio equipment in order to create effects used in the production of electronic music. Audio effects such as vibrato, tremolo, and flanging are examples. The abbreviation is also very often used to refer to low-frequency oscillators themselves.

Indeed.
When I first heard dubstep, I was like "sweet, I just discovered a new genre of underground electronic music!" Now I think it's shitty and all sounds the same.

There are a bunch of sub-genre's to dubstep, just as with most genre's but people tend do categorize it all in one.
The new mainstream dubstep is really bad and poppy, but people think that's what dubstep is, when it really isn't.
If you feel as if you want to take the time to check out what dubstep is really about,
watch this interview with Youngsta, who is a dj from London who is big in the whole scene.

I listen mainly to dubstep, but the darker stuff. Fresh beats, with low sub-bass, and some dark sounds..... just rough tunes.

I realize there are different facets of dub, but I'm really not a fan of anything electronic.
I need real instruments played with blood sweat and tears, not some dude standing behind a bunch of Macbooks.

For the original post, straight from wiki at least 
Quote:
Dubstep is generally instrumental. Similar to a vocal garage hybrid - grime - the genre's feel is commonly dark; tracks frequently use a minor key and can feature dissonant harmonies such as the tritone interval within a riff. Other distinguishing features often found are the use of samples, a propulsive, sparse rhythm, and an almost omnipresent sub-bass.
Dubstep rhythms typically do not follow the four-to-the-floor patterns common in many other styles of electronic dance music such as techno and house but tend to rely on longer percussion loops than the four-bar phrases present in much techno or house. Often, a track's percussion will follow a pattern which when heard alone will appear to be playing at half the tempo of the track; the double-time feel is instead achieved by other elements, usually the bassline

....I listen mainly to dubstep, but the darker stuff. Fresh beats, with low sub-bass, and some dark sounds..... just rough tunes.

Lots of people hear the newer generic mainstream sounds these days and sadly that's the impression they get of this diverse genre...
Just like there's good hip hop out there, but all you hear on the radio is absolute shit. As I say often, don't judge a genre by it's mainstream sounds...
And I also prefer the darker, deep, and spacious sounds of the genre. Stuff like Kryptic Minds, Phaelleh, Oceania, Kito, etc...Almost anything from Labels like Planet Mu and Hyper dub .
