But then how is it Dubstep? Because it has some wobble effects in it? Compare the Skrillex song in this thread to this song by Benga & Coki which was actually the song that started the whole Dubstep movement:

They're nothing alike. If Skrillex is far from being Electro, then he's even farther from being Dubstep.

Look at how rock has progressed from the 50's. Now it's split into many categories of a similar genre. There's a few other good dubstep creators that I know of that most don't, but there's not a single specific style of dubstep that everyone has to abide by.
That can be said for all music though. The point I'm making is the way he structures his songs doesn't fit with the Dubstep "criteria".. So it's like it's evolved, and then became a genre of its own.. Check out the comparison above again.. There are no similarities what so ever, so how can both be called Dubstep?
It actually all started with a guy called Rusko who, for a joke, decided to introduce wobbles and crazy drops into your standard dubstep songs. He's apologised for doing this because he didn't think people would take him seriously and that it would catch on.. That created a sub-genre which people called Brostep... And now you have idiots like Skrillex who have taken it yet again, a step too far.. I don't care if people like Skrillex, they can like who they want to like, it doesn't bother me, but for Skrillex to be put into the Dubstep genre is insulting...
