A style of electronic music that is based around drops and wobble-bass. Unfortunately, since this is the case, it all sounds pretty much exactly the same. It's all about break downs, and since that is typically only one part of the song, the rest of dubstep music that isn't wobble-bass and drops sounds like your typical synth beats from pop music, often featuring a female vocalist fed through auto-tune. A lot of people can't listen to dubstep for longer than two minutes at a time because their longer attention span prevents such a collage of wrecking beats and soft synths from mixing in such rapid succession.
1 - Hey, is that Skrillex?

2 - No. Skrillex isn't even dubstep, retard.

1 - Oh, I couldn't tell because I listen to music that has soul.

The act of taking a perfectly good song and buttraping it with a chainsaw. It is comparable to terrorism, or the minecraft creeper.

Dubstep is a bastardization of Drum and Bass, House, Electro and other genres of Electronic Dance Music into something that sounds like one of a few things at any given time that are not limited to but include; a chainsaw fucking a toaster, the sound of defecation whilst on Acid, broken speakers.

The last of these has led many an unwary listener to question a DJ's knowledge of his EQ and sound levels only to later find out that it was not any hardware failure that caused the angry sound of dubstep to assault their ears -a sound that has often been described by many true followers of PLUR as being "violent" "hateful" and "vibe crushing".

Dubstep is often described as being "filthy" "grimy" and "dirty" by its fans, which is ironic as they also describe themselves with the exact same words. Much like the bros that dubstep has excreted into the modern rave scene; dubstep should be divorced from raves as it does nothing to further the scene and is only destroying it like a cancer.

Dubstep should not be played at any event, ever.
Person A "Hey, did you hear the new Skrillex track?"

Person B "You mean the one that goes "wubwubwubwub wump wump wump wubwubwubwub?"

Person A "Yeah! That's the one!"

Person B "No."

Person A "Then how did you know what the track sounded like?"

Person B "I didn't, it's dubstep so I just guessed and made shit noises."

(Noun) A term derived from the act of paying "double" to "step" into a club, which on this particular night features a DJ making playlists strictly of his own, computer based music, and shuffling said playlists on his iPod or laptop. Light shows and drugs are heavily involved and encouraged, to distract the attendants from the fact that it all sounds the same and the drinks cost $18.
The combination of Molly, lasers, and that song with 84 bass drops made me shit my pants at the dubstep show last night! Good thing there wasn't any money left in my wallet!
