Any genre with the name Future in it should be regarded as being highly suspicious.

phew looking at the first pages of that future bass really puts everything in a perspective. that's only three years old and sooo much has changed / happened in music.

Thought it was just a catchy name for some 2010 (=old) compilation. Liked it a lot when it came out

Genres are all about giving newbies a chance to stand out from the herd.
On topic though:
Never discussed this outside of my personal music library but I always used the term "future bass" to categorize stuff like Hyph Mngo where it's dubsteppy and garagey but quite housey in terms of dynamics and rhythm. Future bass because it wasn't garage enough to be future garage, imo.
"Bass" was always early Mount Kimbie/James Blake type stuff where it was generally half time, the subs were essential, but the midrange elements are more significant that traditional dubstep, and too dissimilar to brostep.
Post-dubstep was always an evil word, more so than "bass", "future bass", and "future garage", that should never have been stated publicly. That was what officially killed it off imo. Good to see that recently people have been reclaiming "dubstep" though. Just getting rarer and rarer to find inspiring 140 stuff these days though (imo).
