This is missing all of the post-2011 dubstep subgenre stuff.

If you search "melodic dubstep" or "chillstep" there's lots of relatively popular post-2011 stuff that's way more tasteful for a mass audience than skrillex.

But that's just one branch. The other major branch is called "freeform bass" or sometimes "spacebass". Certain bass music (post-2016?) no longer has a clear genre definition, so we've literally adopted the term "freeform bass". A lot of it is pretty good. But some of it overlaps with brostep/riddim.



I'd love to see something about tearout

Here's an example I found

Oh god. Not the soundcloud tag you want to be in.


If you read the FAQ, he stopped working on most of this around 2014, so a lot of the newer stuff will be missing.
