 Dubstep is a genre of electronic dance music that
 originated in south London, England. Its overall
 sound has been described as "tightly coiled
 productions with overwhelming bass lines and
 reverberant drum patterns, clipped samples, and
 occasional vocals".

  machine, synthesizer, keyboard, personal computer.
 Mainstream popularity: Mainly an underground
  scene, but with an increase in mainstream popularity in the
  late 2000’s and early 2010s
Dubstep's early roots are in the more
 experimental releases of UK garage producers, seeking to
 incorporate elements of drum and bass into the South
 London-based 2-step garage sound Dubstep is generally
 instrumental:
 Rhythm
 Wobble bass
 Structure, bass drops, rewinds and MCs
 Ran a radio show on east London pirate station
  Rinse FM, hosted by Kode9.
 Another crucial element in the early development
  of dubstep was the Big Apple Records record shop
  in Croydon. Key artists such as Hatcha and later
  Skream worked in the shop.
1999–2002: origins:
 The sound of dubstep originally came out of productions
  by El-B,Steve Gurley, Oris Jay and Zed Bias in 1999-2000
 Ammunition Promotions, who run the influential club and
  have managed many proto dubstep record labels began to
  use the term "dubstep" to describe this style of music in
  around 2002.
 The term's use in a 2002 XLR8R cover story contributed to
  it becoming established as the name of the genre
Mainstream influence
 The year 2009 saw the dubstep sound gaining further
  worldwide recognition, often through the assimilation of
  elements of the sound into other genres, in a manner
  similar to drum and bass.
 In a move foreshadowed by endorsements of the sound
  from R&B, hip-hop and recently, mainstream figures such
  as Rihanna, or Public Enemy’s Hank Shocklee, Snoop Dogg
  collaborated with dubstep producers Chase &
  Status, providing a vocal for their 'underground anthem'
  "Eastern Jam“.
 Rihanna’s Rated R album released such content the
  very year dubstep saw a spike, containing 3 dubstep
  tracks.
 Such events propelled the genre into the biggest radio
  markets overnight, with considerable airplay.
 Throughout 2010, dubstep was beginning to hit the
  pop chart
 In April 2011, "dubbox", the industry's first application
  designed for the mobile creation of dubstep
  music, was released for the iPhone and reached the
  Top 25 Best Selling Music Apps in the UK its first
  week.
Post-dubstep
 More recently the term post-dubstep has been used to
  describe music that combines stylistic features of dubstep
  with other musical influences.
 The tempo of music typically characterised as post-dubstep
  is approximately 130 beats per minute
 Mount Kimbie's Maybes EP, James Blake's remix of
  Untold's "Stop What You're Doing" and Joy Orbison's
  "Hyph Mngo" can be used as markers in the breaking off of
  post-dubstep as a distinct sound.
Brostep
 Brostep is a post-dubstep trend that has recently received
  increasing exposure, with the American producer Skrillex
  becoming something of a figurehead for the scene.
 In September 2011 a Spin Magazine EDM special referred to
  brostep as a "lurching and aggressive" variant of dubstep
  that prevails in the United States.
 Elsewhere it has been described variously as “dubstep with
  more anger to it" and "Americanized, garbage dubstep."
