I would recommend the Koss DJ100, they are around $50 (55 on Amazon) and come with a life time warranty are built of metal, really durable and they sound pretty good too.
They aren't exactly around $50 more like $70Creative Aurvana Live!

Looks pretty good. I was just looking at the Koss PortaPro and some superluxes too. Any input?

You can track them here and wait until they drop to like $50-$60.

The DJ100 would not be an ideal candidate for dubstep imho; I'd suggest a different Koss headphone for that - the Ruk50. For metal and thrash the DJ100 are probably a somewhat better choice, but again aren't something I'd consider for dubstep, or other bass-driven music. All Koss headphones have a lifetime warranty, but depending on how much you abuse them (and therefore file claims), the shipping costs will eventually over-run what the headphones are worth. CAL is a good suggestion too, if you can wait (as fuzziekiwi suggests).

Do you have any other suggestions for headphones that would better suit me then? I mainly listen to hardcore. The electronic and dubstep, while i wouldn't call it occasional, is listened to less than hardcore for me.

What do you mean by "hardcore?" I am aware of hardstyle, and hardcore techno, but unsure what you mean by "hardcore" in this context.
If you could provide some examples of the music you listen to (e.g. if you have a favorite track, and can find it on YT in decent quality), so I can get an idea of what we're talking about - that would probably be most ideal.

Of Mice & Men, Memphis May Fire, (some) Sleeping with Sirens, Shadow Moses by Bring me the horizon is a good example of something i like atm.

DJ100 will do better with that music, but aren't fantastic with dubstep. I'd agree with the original suggestion of them. You might also look at the MV1 but you may end buying an inexpensive FiiO amp to run them with an ipod or similar device. MV1 are all around better imho, and will do better with electronic music. Build feels better on them too, except the gold Koss logo may erode off over time.
