Genre with a ton of soul and takes a ton of talent to produce, unlike Brostep where kids can just download a pirated copy of Fruity Loops, add some kicks+snares, high pitched robot sounds, wobbles, and produce that trash under Dubstep. Dubstep is not "Filthy", that is Brostep. Dubstep is all about the sub bass, again, what Brostep is not. Dubstep does not have the hip hop lyrics or the crazy annoying wobbles, that is Brostep. The Dubstep community is slowing turning to shit because of the mass influx of 11 year old kids new to this think Skrillex, Flux Pavillion, Doctor P, etc is cool so they try to be cool by copy and pasting overused jokes like the beaten to death "dirtier than fingering your sister" joke which for some shitty reason is the most thumbs up definition for Dubstep. Want to see proof of this atrocity? Go look at the comments posted at UKFDubstep and Skrillex videos.
I wouldn't be surprised if MTV turned Dubstep(Brostep) into "the next big thing" and ruins the genre like how they ruined all the other forms of music.

Genre of electronic dance music which is just drum and bass without the drums. Dubstep is has its roots in London's early 2000s UK garage scene. popular artists are Chase and Staus and Kode9.
Followers of Dubstep also use generally negative terms to describe a song like: ‘dirty’, ‘filthy’, or ‘grimy’ if that song is good. The more dirty/filthy/grimy a particular song is seen as being, the more disturbing subsequent descriptions of the song become. Not unlike The Aristocrats, followers sometimes attempt to outdo each other in these descriptions.

A genre of electronic music that is typically 140 BPM with a half time kick and snare drum pattern.

Dubstep originated in the early 2000's in London. A combination of Dub, which is very similar to what most people call Reggae, and 2-Step Garage, which is where the heavy bass elements of Dubstep come from.

Dubstep today is very different from when it first originated. People unhappy with this "evolution" decide to call it apart from the Dubstep they know and love with the name Brostep.

As a person who enjoys both "types" of dubstep it is hard to put a label on them. The only thing upsetting about this genre is the amount of hate and ignorance that goes back and forth between people who discuss it.
Earlier dubstep artists who basically formed the genre.
-Mala
-Coki
-Skream
-Benga

More well known artists that recently took it to a new direction.
-Flux Pavilion
-Doctor P
-Skrillex
-Excision
-Datsik

Dubstep is the result of sounds that are produced after dumping spoons, forks, other cutlery, your neighbor’s cat, a car’s engine, nails, hammers, and a WHOLE chalkboard into a blender. Then, having someone play an electronic nose flute while his buddy throws a speaker out of a window. Compile all those sounds together while turning the volume up to 200 decibels. This will break the sound barrier and your eardrums will literally be obliterated. Major bleeding will occur. Contact an ENT IMMEDIATELY after listening.
Ahhhh stop dubstep...ears bleeding...HELP!
