Like every genre that has a little success, there will inevitably be a whole glut of music that barges it's way into the mainstream that bears little relation to the original ethos of the genre. However it was a genre that you had to dig around a bit before to find good stuff so that hasn't really changed except you have more crap to filter through.

Funnily enough Dubstep as a genre has been slowly fading out for the hardcore fans. Typical of the mainstream to get to the genre a year later and find that the best stuff has already been done although Nero and Skrillex are doing some interesting stuff still.
