The inclusion of dubstep in popular music, such as in Britney Spears' 2011 single, "Hold it Against Me."
I wonder if Britney's new album will contain more popstep.

Apr 30 Word of the Day
A buzz word being used to refer to creators and influencers forming or encouraging unhealthy relationships with their fans. Usually used in the context of young audiences feeling they have a relationship with the influencer due to the huge amount of the influencer’s content they consume. The influencer in question, however, is unaware of the fan’s existence other than the general knowledge of having fans. Common examples include Dream and his stans. These relationships are exacerbated by the influencers confirming they have more than a creator-to-viewer relationship.

The word is circulating due to various YouTube essays about the phenomenon using the word, and therefore people who enjoy complaining about influencers repeating what they heard in the video in any comments section they can find.
I can’t believe that creator encourages parasocial relationships with his fans...

Man what a parasocial relationship :/

A terrible attempt to garner more attention and fame by mixing already terrible pop songs with extremely shitty and generic dubstep. Usually used by jaded ass popstars who need to give up already such as Pitbull and Nicki Minaj because they know dubstep is the new thing.
"Did you hear the new Madonna album?"

"Ugh yea it was nothing but popstep, she needs to give up already instead of trying to get in the edm scene"
