I believe that most Dubstep fans blame Skrillex for bringing the genre to music mainstream. Have you ever heard of Skrillex? Skrillex is perhaps the most famous dubstep producer throughout the world, especially after the release of his EP which had songs like ‘Kill Everyone’ and ‘Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites’. There are a lot of other dubstep tracks available on websites like www.bassforlunch.com and www.beatport.com.
Dubstep is a bit of an old genre by now, and it is usually associated to the electronic dance music culture in europe. As opposed to other genres, dubstep is very different because of its main focus on bass and rhythm as opposed to lyrics. In fact, most of the dubstep track do not even contain lyrics for the most part.
Some people even consider Dubstep to be the music of the future, given its high dependence on electronic sounds as opposed to actual instruments. Moreover, the development of the dubstep culture has also led to a great deal of development in the world of music. Many more genres have sprung out from Dubstep, such as Drums’n’Bass and Trap music.
Dubstep itself has evolved quite a lot of the past few years. This is owing the fact that it has grown immensely over this time, and hence most of the famous Djs around the world have ventured into this genre as well. For the dubstep fans, this is even better because it only leads to better dubstep for them everyday.
I hope that solves the curiosity of most people about what Dubstep is. If you have any questions, then feel free to ask in the comments section.
