re: Was there a shorter lived music genre than dubstep?

Also, I recently just read an article about the UK Dubstep revival, which is kind of hilarious. Evidently it's experiencing a resurgence. But if you know anything about the entire dubstep history, then it makes sense.
Basically, started in the UK and was a pretty cool movement. Then America took it up and changed quite a bit about the original dubstep qualities, making it American, and making the UK artists scornfully dub it "brostep" because of the Frat boys and such who were all about that bass drop.
This was simultaneous with a movement called "post dubstep" in England where the dubstep dudes started doing different stuff (most famously, James Blake) that was often way more chill and ambient or maybe just mover diverse (Rusko).
Now that it's kind of dying over here, the UK has experienced a resurgence of dubstep of the original type.
Oh, and it's definitely had a MAJOR influence on mainstream pop, showing up in the tons of songs... anytime you hear a pop song and the beat sounds like a couple of Transformers having sex... that's the dubstep influence.
Why I know this crap (and I'm probably overgeneralizing) is beyond me, as I hardly even listen to Electronic music.

How is dubstep different from regular shitty dance music.

This and I still like the UK - reggae influenced stuff.

The whole dubstep craze was worth it just for this song...

yep - pretty good
Don't know if any was shorter? But I didn't know this one even existed.

The summer of swing was incredible.

just googled Brian Setzer and it looks like he's back to rockabilly.
He’s always been rockabilly.
While we’re naming swing bands, let’s not forget Big Bad VooDoo Daddy. I, for one, loved that short-lived period.

In all fairness, dubstep and the various genres of electronic music have distinguishing characteristics that set them apart from each other. Much like the various esoteric subgenres of metal, though, they're largely lost on non fans.

Does the 6 months swing music was popular in the late 90's count?
What about Ska?
I think we hit the trifecta

Dance music is bigger than ever.5 djs had top 25 songs last year. Dubstep is bigger than ever. It's turned into a monster and sounds horrible. Makes skrillex sound melodic.

Dance music was huge in the 90’s. It’s nothing new.

What about Ska?
Though it did produce this classic record (written by Mann-Weil):
Eydie Gorme - "I Want You To Meet My Baby"

I always thought ska lasted a little longer just because No Doubt and Rancid sustained success for a decent bit.
I googled ska and that's the first time I've thought of Less than Jake in a long time.
The 90's were a great time for genres that flamed out fast. Even grunge was a temporal thing. G Funk in rap, rock rap at the end of the 90's...there was a lot of creation, some of which went nowhere.

When was dubstep in its peak?
When two guys and a truck dropped a pinball machine down a flight of stairs. Yep that was the best dubstep song ever.
Scared rabbits, Oasis made the best album ever, now dubstep, this board has some strange music fans. I think I'll just " stick to some ole Honk" as Ronnie said.

were not swing music.
They were a Ska band as was No Doubt.
One of the funnest shows I have ever been to was MMB at 5 Points Music Hall in Birmingham.
ETA: Response to another post by you...Holy shite dude, you may just want to give up on music...
Rancid was a punk band along the same lines as Green Day, not a fricking Ska band. Operation Ivy that a couple of the founders of Rancid was in was a ska/punk band.
