Dubstep has become so mainstream and it sounds like a joke nowadays.
If this happens to a music style you can be sure that the leeches will suck it dry and then move on to their next victim.

Dubstep, hmmmm.. The problem is that dubstep has that thing that grabs you right off the rip, but then after you listen to a few tracks it gets old real quick. that thing is the traditional lfo'd bass you hear in most dubstep tracks. This has lead to dubstep being kind of a one horse show. The thing that makes it so great is the very thing that will kill it. Without the wah wah wah you really don't have a dubstep track and everyone has pretty much killed that aspect of the style, so where do you go? DnB survies cause it has always been based on the tempo and syncopated ryhtem it uses, this has left it open to unlimited variations of the style that can still be considered drum and bass. We are talkin LTJ Bukem to Ed Rush and Optical, two completely different styles of music but at the heart of it, they are both Drum and Bass no questions asked. Does anyone remember a type of music we just called Dub? Another style that seems to have been lost, or is it?

There is such an insane amount of new dubstep created every second and they all pretty much use the same sounds and song structures. Get's boring so fast. I'd rather hear average DnB than dubstep

There used to be a time when any brand that wanted to look trendy and stylish HAD to have DnB in their commercials (must have been around 2000) and things like Roni Size & Reprazent and Kosheen were in the charts. That was a very dark period for DnB (and I'm not talking dark style here) because all the greedy bastards jumped on board and made crap to hit the charts. A year later they had all moved to 2step, leaving DnB as an abused child.
Dubstep is in this phase now, it's all over the place and even 12-year-olds like this commercial flavour.
