Dubstep House Grime and many other genres are using the same BPM, this is nothing boring since no-one can find similarities between them. Genres are just adding/deleting some beats/kicks and then you have the bases of the genre.
Music is sound art with rules, I know it's hard to accept but it's like that. :P
BTW: The last music Fate shared (bonefire), the drop is at ~0:55, this is the 16 bars rules
(60/70) * (16*4) = 54,8571... seconds
Many other drops are around 27 seconds (the half) cause of the 8 bars rules, but the drop can come even faster, or after if there is an intro out of the beats.
