Jesus Christ, it only took 3 pages for someone to take the time to put the troll down. BPM has almost nothing to do with percussive transients, but with the overall speed of a 1/1 cycle in virtually any element of the song. A half time 140 song is still 140, it just has a few missing steps in the percussion sequencing. Spacing out the percussion steps and keeping the BPM at 140 is much easier than compressing the sequence, metering at 70 BPM, and doubling the rates and time divisions for every single other thing in your project.

There may be 70 percussion transients a minute in a dubstep track, but literally every other element of the song keeps tempo and time divides based off of a 140 clock. This is why BPM counters get so tripped up by certain half-time tracks, they analyse a variety of elements, but if the percussion dominates, it can get confused.

Glad somebody knew what I was talking about. Didn't quite know how to put it. The whole point really is there is no SET bpm for a genre. I guess it's hard for some people to do math, just adjust your pitch faders accordingly and it will blend.
