2010 and it hasnt caught on mainstream music. Dubstep infused with pop flourished after britney used it in a single. Britney has used it since 2007 but only in 2011 which it really took off. So lets use your reasoning: its popular for a while. It may be but it was still constrained to that circle. No main act was bold enough to take on proper dubstep/grime into a pop song. It happened after britney.
What it seems to me is that either youre against the infiltration of dubstep into pop or youre against the reality that britney was credited in sailing the genre forward to mainstream. Whatever your opinions on this era is subjective and does not represent an entire concensus.

Obviously I'm not ashamed with a big picture of Beyonce in my avatar. It's just a little rude to call someone something other than their name especially if you know what it is, especially when it is said to be demeaning, not endearing with the tone and usage. But.. oh well my feelings aren't hurt I just like to discuss things maturely.
I'm neither against dub step being pop (I was never a hardcore fan just a casual listener a while ago) nor am I against Britney getting credited for bringing it officially into the mainstream. The issue I have is that it's not so important an impact nor anything incredibly unique or groundbreaking. Using a style of dance music that is tested and quite popular in a time when dance music was the norm isn't so big or impactful as say, Adele using a style of music that is so far from what was on pop radio and thereby influencing other artists to stray from the generic pop beats of dancepop. (Example: Stay by Rihanna). Dubstep to me, seemed inevitable, and while Britney 100% did it first, I doubt she would have been the only one to do it, so there really isn't a stroke of brilliance or foresight involved.
