a type of subgenre of 2-step and dub. it consists of two noises and a "wobble". set into pop culture in england by Skream, Oris Jay, and EL-B, the movement began, after coming to america, artists such as skrillex shit on it, used the structure of complextro and called it dubstep. now skream and his buddies hated that music, called it brostep so they had nothing to do with it, ended the movement, and quit making dubstep because of how much shame it brought to them.
"did you hear about dubstep"
"oh you meanskrillex"
"no you idiot!" *kicks him in the balls*
An unfortunate sub-genre of electronica/techno-type music which has swirled so far down the toilet that we must all lock-away our Richard D. James albums so future generations will know and understand that electronic music was, is, and should be produced and heard at frequencies exceeding 250Hz.
I was standing in front of a giant slowly revolving fan on the deck of a navy gunship during continual cannon fire while being accosted by a baboon wielding a pool noodle; I didn't see Skrillex anywhere, but it was definitely Dubstep that I heard.
