Music trends like this all the time. How you respond to it is really the only control you have.

For example, about 6 years ago I thought I was gonna vomit if I heard one more snippet of a DnB/jungle beat. For my ears the genre had just become to played out for me to wanna listen to it anymore, so I didn't. Now that the novelty of dubstep is wearing thin I find myself listening to it less, but like Jackhammer pointed out, there's still a lot of innovation going on in the genre by artists who aren't trying to exploit it's popularity, so lately I'm just digging for originality a little harder and dusting off some of my favorite jungle beats that I can finally bear to listen to again. It's only music, well, not only, but what you choose to listen to is up to you.
