Evolution in dubstep

In dubstep, there are two different kinds of people. First the ones who think 'new' dubstep is a sin and label it as brostep, aka as the purists, and the ones who think people should listen to whatever music they like, and not care so much about what genre they're listening to.

Some refer to Skrillex as brostep, others as dubstep. The brostep group claims he is the one who ruined dubstep by making it mainstream. How is one guy ruining it for everyone by taking dubstep, and doing his own thing with it? I think it's a fear of change. The 'old' dubstep is still there, and will never leave as long as people are willing to listen to it. But something new has evolved, which is commercially more attractive and even wins grammy's. Skream has stated: "I think it hurts a lot of people over here because it's a UK sound, but it's been someone with influences outside the original sound that has made it a lot bigger."

Music is contantly evolving, where would we be if The Beatles just made rock and roll? Some even say they destroyed it.  Some would say electronic music isn't even real music. "Music is always changing and the changes are unpredictable." so also says Billy Sheehan. Some genre's are dispised more than other, but out of those grow new genre's. What's underground will sometimes grow big enough to become mainstream, does anyone remembers grunge?

There's no stopping in the evolution of dubstep or other kinds of music. Wether you like a genre or you prefer it's predecessor is up to the listener, but where there are listeners, there is music.
