Is DnB really popular/mainstream in the UK?

Hi! I'm French and I've always been fascinated by the UK underground scene especially by DnB, UK Garage or House music. Since these scenes are practically non-existent here in France, I was wondering if they are really kind of 'popular' among young people or is that just a myth from the '90s? And if you know some cool places in the UK for this type of music, hmu since I will be living in the UK next year for uni, will have plenty of time to discover new gigs :wink:

the fact that it is an underground scene means that by definition it is not mainstream
DnB is mainstream enough that most people know about it, but still isn't really played on the radio. House is about as popular as most other countries really. As for garage I rarely hear about that anymore - it was most popular in the 90s really.
