Dunno, I've been asking the same question.

Is Dubstep.
I personally don't think it's so great. Some dubstep is catchy, though.

Dubstep is a specific type of electronic music that originated in England. It has origins in dub music, drum n' bass, and 2-step garage. Dubstep tracks are often dark-sounding and in a minor key and include "bass drops". Much of what is referred to as dubstep commonly commercially, especially in America, is a form of "post-dubstep" (dubstep with other influences) called "brostep".

Not a bad description at all. Dubstep is characterized a lot by the "wobble bass", which is effectively an extended bass note that's pitched/distorted.
A couple examples:
Old-school dubstep. Much different than what's thought of as dubstep today.
Also dubstep. More aggressive and typical of today.

@All4one: What Skrillex produces is more complextro than dubstep, and Swedish House Mafia puts out house derivatives, not dubstep. To be honest, it seems you've fallen into the trap of thinking electronic noises = dubstep, which couldn't be further from the truth.

I believe Skrillex is classified as dubstep. From old school dubstep to now, Skrillex is just a few steps ahead of time. The bass drops just aren't as noticeable.

Oh. 

I'm very unknowledgable in the area of electronic music; I'm much more skilled when it comes to rock classifications. xD

Sounds like this:

OWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOOMUUUUUPHHHHHHH SCREEEEEAAAACH MMMAMAMAMAMAMAMAMAMAMMMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOP

Some of it is good, though. Look up ~NK~ Blacklight [FULL] on newgrounds

Dubstep is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in South London, England. The music website Allmusic has described its overall sound as "tightly coiled productions with overwhelming bass lines and reverberant drum patterns, clipped samples, and occasional vocals".


My Favvorite Dubstep song.

Funny, that's the first few sentences of the Wikipedia article.

I saw this really cool dubstep version of Pumped Up Kicks by Foster The People 

I'll add the link later.

Rubbish
