What is Dubstep?
According to a dubstep-based website, udubstep.com, Dubstep music probably originated from Jamaican dub music, and electronic sound made by really low frequencies. The dubstep genre did not start until 2002 however, when the term was first used in Croydon, South London. The music spread in popularity for a short time, before being spread out in combination with house and club music. Recently, dubstep has been adapted into songs by hit singers like Britney Spears and has become part of modern music culture.

The beat just gives you a rush, and when i’m driving I want to crank it all the way up.

It’s different because it’s so electric, and it’s just one person doing all kinds of different things and sounds, not like a whole band.

Don’t laugh, but when I’m cleaning the house it helps to keep me motivated. It’s not like rap, so I actually like it.
