Dubstep

Dubstep is a genre of electronic dance music described as tightly coiled productions with overwhelming bass lines and reverberant drum patterns, clipped samples, and occasional vocals. Dubstep’s early roots are in the more experimental releases of UK garage producers, seeking to incorporate elements of drum and bass into the South London-based 2-step garage sound.

@squezey: you're talking about minimalistic and primitive dubstep when you're saying "underground styles", right?

I take dubstep as more of a blanket term for electronic bass music in general that doesn't go deep into other genres. There is a lot more than the more heavy, full of high pitched buzz saw bass sweep style that seems to be most popular now. The other styles of it which are more bass and minimal rhythm focused are more underground and you really gotta dig through the internet to find what you're looking for. Dubstep is one of my favorite genres, just not the most popular style. I think if people took the time to go a little deeper than the surface in dubstep, the more underground styles might get much more popular because to me they are where the real quality tunes are.

MrMushroom123, ure dum k fnx. just because it's electronic, doesn't mean it's dubstepz, just because it wobbles, doesn't mean it's dubstepz, just because it has bass in it, doesn't mean it's dubstepz and just because there is a madwhackphat drop doesn't make it dubstepz.

what pisses me off the most about this genre is, that there was tons of electronic stuff in the 00's and even in the 90's that could be considered dubstep, just because it wouldnt fit into any genre. this whole sub-genre division sucks ass. everyone wants to create "the new sound" while failing badly.
