Listen to whatever you want. I think that producers outside its original
milieu appropriating trap style signifiers is suspect.
I am in general very suspicious of fad genres. Dubstep had about 10 years
of interesting, musically valid evolution until it became a fad, and now it
is basically over, killed by joy-buzzer bro-step. People are embarrassed to
admit now that there is good dubstep being made; or they tag it now as a
different genre.
Skrillex has started making house music. If Skrillex is embarrassed to be
making dubstep, you know it's done.
