truth is, dubstep exploted very quickly, at some point it was an underground 'cult' like following genre from south london that was in between 138 and 42bpm with emphasis on grooves, bass/subs and dub. People around the world started to listen and suddenly a new sub-genre started to emerge (I won't name it, to avoid side discussions) some people claim that this new more popular sub-genre that did not emphasize neither bass or dub, but instead screeching mid range eclectic melodies. Some say this new subgenre started in the US, but the truth is some of the (maybe now forgotten pioneers from england were producing it too).
Now this new sub genre became more popular than dubstep and a vast majority of people call it that, and quickly name producers from this new style as 'dubstep producers' or even 'dubstep pioneers', completely ignoring the cult like movement where it came from.
Everyone hates on this one guy, as if he was the walmart of the genre, but at the same time, he is the most consumed, celebrated and must see artist at any big electronic festival.
Now, those who were into 'dubstep' back when it was something else, call that style 'bass music' just as a way to differentiate what they listen to with this new sub-genre that is now recognized as the only sound of the genre.
And that is my point of view, as objectively as I can write it.
