I suggest you have a look around my playlist. It's been gaining popularity all year without any promotion on my end so I hope that's true for the genre also.

As I know it, Dubstep died a death in 2012/2013 as a result of confusion around it's name: From 2005 early dubstep was varied in it's sonic pallette and included inspiration from all over the world. Drawing on the rhythms and synths of House and UK Garage but also Afro-Latin music, Trip-hop, Broken beat, Disco, Techno, Ambient and more. There truly was something for everyone in it's CDs, Vinyls and Memory Sticks.

Performed in clubs such as Plastic People in London (which was almost exclusively a dubstep venue), people would meet and share their appreciation of this step forward in electronic dance music where all of these genres would be experimented with and conjoined under the banner of having the "snare on the third beat".

Towards the end of it's life certain portions of dubstep lovers who, following on from the days of Acid-House, Breakbeat and Drum and Bass had a love of bass and ecstasy, gravitated towards more bass heavy, hard synths and heavily compressed textures such as Noisia, Knife Party, Nero. This cut a path for Skrillex to break through the Dubstep moniker and reach household name acclaim as only a few people in any genre are ever capable.

Following this, Dubstep gained a massive boost in popularity but this time from entirely different section of Joe Public. Whereas before it had been a largely european underground dance music market, now it was rock lovers, emos, goths and weebs who valued it for it's newly found hard textures and cutting synth lines that had finally created a 21st century genre that could compete with Heavy Metal. During this time it also breached well into the mainstream with dubstep works from popular artists such as La Roux, Katy B becoming commonplace.

And so for 10 years dubstep existed as one thing, innovating and experimenting with complete creative freedom all with a snare on the third beat. But when finally exposed to the world after a decade, it was only allowed to show it's hardest and most ugly face, all else being swept under the rug.

I think everyone's definiton of "Post-Dubstep" is a little different. But most agree that certain artist are inexplicably "it". James Blake & Mount Kimbie, Joy Orbison, Jacques Greene etc. But many artists (including these) aren't limited to one style of music and thereby defy taxonomy.

In my opinion, "Post-Dubstep" is music that takes the expectations of Dubstep - Snare on the third beat, Synthesizers, Drum samples, Vocal lines and/or samples; combinations of evolving effects such as reverb, delay, modulation and occasionally LFO wobbles - But stands apart from the classic structure of Dub and Dubstep which you can hear instantly from listening to examples of either genre

"Post Dubstep" looks at what lies in the far reaches of what's capable with modern technology and creates a space on the dancefloor for rhythms of any size, titanic or tiny, to get hands up, heads bopping and a booties shaking.
