I don't get the dubstep hype. IDM's hype is for a good reason. IDM is actually interesting, not just another cookie-cutter staring contest genre between producers to see who's better at making a bassline.

Bear in mind that IDM is a much more generalized classification of music than dubstep, and can loosely be referred to anything that doesn't use a prescribed cliche beat.
I personally hate a lot of the "synthy" bass lines in dubstep ,which is why I don't listen to a lot of it, but I definitely think that there's a lot of room for creativity within the genre that hasn't been explored yet.
