You all have undoubtedly heard that one of the best dubstep artists Skrillex has made it in 5 Grammy nominations. He got nods in categories like Best New Artist, Best Dance Recording, Best Short Form Music Video, Best Remixed Recording, and BestDance/Electronica Album. For some dubstep diehards this is upsetting as many of them dont approve of his music being labeled as dubstep. While that may be true, he is not nominated for dubstep, rather he is nominated for dance and electronica. So while you may hate he may very well be the mainstream breakthrough that the genre needs to gain popularity.
