Not nearly as much as I used to, but yes. Now I'm listening to whatever the actual name for the Broken Note/Skrillex type music that people call dubstep.

"Brostep" is what I've heard.
Sounds like a step down, but it sounds like (looking at your list) you listened to a lot of instrumental/powernoise type stuff to begin with so I can see how you'd make that jump.

Brostep is the deragatory term, but there is an actual (I guess) term for it. At least one of my friends who is much more versed in music had a term for it.
I don't view it so much as a step down, but a change in scenery. When you listen to the same genre for a while it starts to get repetitive, especially when something get popular and done by a lot of different people. You see it now with dubstep being used in all the different movies and commercials.

Brostep is the ACTUAL term for it, though I suppose it is also derogatory.
Personally, I've found enough depth in Industrial subgenres to keep me interested for about 8 years. Admittedly, Aggrotech has gotten a bit stale. I've been pretty unimpressed by recent releases for artists who I'd loved in the past, like Suicide Commando, Grendel, Combichrist, Funker Vogt, and God Module, and I haven't gotten into many new ones.
Fortunately, Futurepop and Synthpop have had insane levels of quality and depth the past few years. This past year had awesome releases from THYX, Solar Fake, Ginger Snap5, Bruderschaft, Ghost & Writer, Ruined Conflict, Mr. Kitty, Zynic, and Interface, and pretty darn good releases from VNV Nation, Covenant, Project Pitchfork, Cesium_137, Endanger. And this year we've already got scheduled releases from THYX, Seabound, Neuroticfish, Melotron, Seeming (formerly ThouShaltNot), Rotersand, and ARMOR.

It's not all strictly hellectro, but there's some bleeding of genres and I tried to stay mostly along the lines of the genre.
