There are some great dubstep artists out there, you should listen to a few.

Such as this guy:

Wait until it drops around 2.20.

or this...

As for dubstep going to shit with its transition into the mainstream, it happens with every genre. The original format is progressively diluted to appeal to as wide an audience as possible.

I really prefer decent music to be heard by people with actual music tastes.

Thoughts?

I think I don't care at all about what's played in common record stores and on the Top 40. None of that can ruin music that is good.

Close-minded insults don't make for good conversation. Good dubstep is good. Great dubstep is even better. If you're interested in Art and Music then you know that 'originality' ultimately means little and that honest music fans give no shit about trends.

Excellent example. I'll always love Boxcutter's Glyphic album (2007) no matter what any other musician does. It'll never be lame.

The only Boxcutter album I have is Oneric, but I'm a pretty big fan of it.

I have that one but haven't listened to it for a long time. If memory serves, it doesn't grab me like Glyphic does. I'm gonna dig it up though, now that you brought it up.
