Too many subgenres these days as people try to make themselves "special".

not sure i get what you mean
about the subgenres, most of what people call dubstep has nothing in common with "classic" dubstep (where's the melody ? where's the bass ?)... apart from 140bpm tempo. But at the same time, this tempo wasn't actually "used" in electronic music. So yeah its kinda what defines dubstep nowadays hence the subgenres.
Born in the UK, it spread over europe and the us, etc. and it evolved...so it's pretty logical every country / continent brought his own background to the table. That's what artists / musicians do... get inspiration, bring personal stuff to get something special in the end.... nothing wrong with this (that's what i don't get about your comment).
That's why now there is good stuff coming from everywhere on the planet. i like it. On the contrary, what is wrong is homogeneity... meaning many producers use the same presets, same sound with one unique goal : getting the filthiest sound.... doing the same... pushing further in the wrong way. THAT is really dumb...
No musicality, no melody, no bass... it's all about industrial machinery and horrendous vocals, cheesy intro and retarded beats. there's still some good stuff out there but a lot sound the same and most of it got no soul...no artistic value... it's just ephemeral party music... and it's sad but that's what most people want... dull party dance music like this

seriously ?!
But whatever... to each his own....i'm more into mental music i can enjoy with my headphones or basslines that move my guts...
Diversity is still the way to go... more diversity means more chance to listen to great tunes.
btw huge filthy tune :P

they, themselves, called it glitch hop... it seemed like a joke at first .
This scene is seriously burgeonning in the states.
It's more diverse than dubstep when it comes to tempo (90 / 140) but its pretty recognizable
if you re open for slower and more breaky stuff... you should all check ediT (a guy from the glitch mob)... he makes crooked but amazing music
