To put things in a big picture perspective, I'm pretty sure dubstep hasn't reached its global zenith yet, so I don't think it can be killed just yet. Its still relatively an underground phenomenon. Hip hop croaked recently but dubstep is still picking up steam.
Anybody want to help compile a list of genres that are truly dead/dying?
I would say posting this exact topic would be a start at killing a scene still considered fresh.
give it some time before you start complaining. These waters are big enough for all of us to ride the wave of success my diddy bop.

OK i'll get it started.
this. i dont think i like any dubstep tune by any old dnb artist
really?
martyn, breakage, peverelist and kryptic minds just to name a few
also i think most of us loved jungle back in the day... big inspiration to people like mala, burial, and zomby according to interviews
true but thats jungle and not drum and bass
and i think i like one martyn song and i didnt know peverelist made dnb but i stand by my comment
to conclude, i think noel edmonds is killing dubstep, but hey thats just me
i'd never consider what i've heard of breakage, martyn or kryptic minds jungle. not to say they haven't made it, but it's all been in a modern context of dnb.

Your just being a party pooper! Some of the things you listed are positive in my book...I think the scene is still growing and its still new. Im kinda proud of dubstep...

Stop denying these here tsunami's my young flounder.
Contrary to many a belief held here, although this forum is in in place to discuss dubstep it doesn't represent the sound itself and it's existence in the real world. Nothing is killing dubstep. Never ending threads on the topics listed are killing this messageboard though.
I have to say, I think John B's dress sense is awesome. At least he's doing his own thing, and is comfortable with himself and his style.
Not hard to see why the "Lickle white rood buoys" can't relate, or why he's more popular in the states than in the UK. The guy also has some pretty decent views on production and the state of the scene.
And yeah, dnb is pretty much dead. Or at least stale. Recycling the same old loops just ain't gonna cut it.. which is why I got into Dubstep in the first place. There's more freedom with the structure and composition of the music. And there's a lot more dynamism and progression right now. It's still evolving which makes it markedly more exciting.
