The Wubz

Dubstep is a relatively new genre of music, but is quickly gaining momentum as more and more people are drawn in by its powerful "drops" and the innovative new syncopation. Dubstep is, I'd say, kind've like hardcore Electro. The songs usually have no singing, an interesting feature that some artists defy and some do not. Many dubstep songs are remixes of other songs, though artists like Tristam and Skrillex and others do original pieces. Dubstep songs are usually pretty darn long, lasting from around 3-11 minutes each. Some groups, such as Monstercat, bring a collaboration of dubstep artists and their best songs together into hour-long mixes. One of my favorites- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqTD1jfPUMw

Dubstep is about as controversial as My Little Pony (which I also recommend) on the Internet, with fanatics and haters widespread. Oh, and I almost forgot the structure of Dubstep. Usually the songs start out with a trance (slow repeating beats), followed by some rising tension until the song reaches its climax at the "drop". Dubstep drops are always the fastest, heaviest, and most powerful beat section of the dubstep song, and sometimes the song can have more than one. I highly recommend dubstep to all reading this post, as it is a growing and ever-improving music genre that is exclusive to the Internet and it needs as much support as it can get.
