Well, dubstep is only getting popular. It's bloody catchy in most places and great for action orientated scenes.
I think the dubstep played an excellent part in Saints Row the third for example.
If the mood calls for it, the games music will provide the atmosphere. If this atmosphere requires dubstep, so be it.
This.
Here's a good example of a movie trailer that works well with dubstep (the movie doesn't have dubstep in it, just the trailer).
That was painful to listen to, literally. I had to stop that video almost immediately. Dubstep makes my head and ears HURT. I understand some people LOVE that stuff, but I simply can't handle it, it fits no situation for me, unless the situation is meant to cause me physical pain.
I'm glad there isn't dubstep in that movie because that's a movie I want to see.
I mean, it's a strange situation as it's opinions and personal tastes; but at the end of the day I must say, let the market dictate what music is in what. I HOPE that I remain in the majority of the market, the people who don't like dubstep, but if it's more profitable to appeal to people who enjoy dubstep, so be it, I've got plenty of games and music that I can enjoy atm, and nobody dictates the soundtrack of tabletop games but the GM/DM.
Honestly, I don't mind dubstep existing (and I would have to be a rather large asshat to claim that just because I can't stand it, it shouldn't exist), somebody out there clearly enjoys it and thus, it isn't my problem! What IS my problem is when people blare it loudly during study hours in a thin walled building. When my gosh darned walls and floor are SHAKING from the bass. That's just inconsiderate. Please people, use headphones, consider the people around you.
