If you had asked me this in 2009, I probably would have told you to fuck off with your Skrillex shit. This genre has evolved so much from its roots that it swells my heart. Some passion project out of the gutter of London grew into this international phenomenon that shapes the way beats are constructed and international festivals are held.
I love this goddamn genre.
Deadmau5 popularized house for millenials for sure, He didn't dabble into dubstep until years later. I think you're underestimating the impact Dubstep had on Teenagers at the time. I had kids talking to me about drops who I would never expect to talk to me about music back in the day.
Edit: Am I old now?
