What is dubstep music?

Dubstep is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in South London in the late 1990s. It is characterized by its heavy basslines, syncopated rhythms, and intricate sound design. Dubstep is known for its dark, gritty sound and often incorporates elements of other genres such as drum and bass, garage, and reggae. The genre gained mainstream popularity in the late 2000s and has since become a staple in electronic music. Artists such as Skrillex, Rusko, and Excision are known for their contributions to the dubstep genre. Live dubstep performances often feature elaborate light shows and visuals to enhance the overall experience for the audience.
