Would dubstep benefit from not having subgenres at all?

its pure human nature to recognize patterns, categorize and name them for future reference

and along with the evolution of music and scene sounds over time its unavoidable... no matter what you "want"

i wanna hear more then ;[ ive been digging your recent project volumes though i must say

PS - im not trying to give out any negative vibes, i am just saying i feel that there's different energies and moods in the songs that ive heard from both artists so far. i dont like shit talking and i dont believe i would have any place in doing so anyways.

theres already basically some sub genres, but they just dont have names, and dont need names.

its like you couldnt show 1 tune to someone and say its dubstep, cuz there will be million tunes out there that sound completely different but are still dubstep.

e.g. Rusko - Cockney thug > Geiom - No More Tears.

All it takes is somebody to think up a name for any one of the differant styles that exists, that catches on and is used to describe nights / mixes / is refered to on places like DSF and bish bash bosh you have a sub genre.

Just think of DnB, Fabio started calling the style he was playing liquid, a catchy word that suits the sound and bang, you have a sub-genre.

It will happen, its enevitable. My opinion is that there is good and bad that comes out of it, but in the end, its another part of the natural progression.
