♫ Dubstep – The Emerging Genre

What is dubstep? Dubstep is an electronic genre that spread its roots in the happy island of the United Kingdom, back in the late '90s. Branching out from the underground garage scene, these roots intertwined reggae dub, some dirty grime and the darker side of drum and bass. All this produces bouncy yet hardcore electronic music where the bass is king. Aided by music blogs and online producers, the genre began its climb to the forefront around 2005, making its mainstream debut around 2008. Dubstep, along with other emerging sub-genres of Techno are breaking past the common conception of "European dance music," and are creating something entirely in itself — new identities in a world of evolving musical tastes.
