Hi ! im doing a project for my level 2 music course at college and was asked to write a project on something im interested in. so i chose this as my topic "How does the Music Industry affect the sound and commercializing of and artist/genre? Particularly Dubstep." I was wondering what peoples thoughts where on this topic as it would help me out alot ! thanks :)

My opinion is that the more a genre goes commercial like dubstep, youre going to get everyone cashing in like skrillex for example but at the same time there will always be a core of people that still create the music that they love and make deeper and darker sounds to move away from that commercial image.

Or one artist can do both. Distance produced Falling on Island and has a shitload of dubplates destined to less mainstream labels are they are less "easy-listenable". Skream does that too. Benga as well, to an extent (the new dub that was played on the getdarker talk-show was sickkkk).

But yeah in general it's like JBoy says
