Dubstep began in South London in the early 2000s, and has risen to become the most popular form of [[Electronic Music]] in years. It's difficult to describe exactly, but the main characteristics include a moderate tempo (typically around 140 bpm), hard hitting drums, and a heavy emphasis on bass, often (but certainly not always) with a distinctive "wobble" sound. Rhythmically, dubstep is in [[Common Time]] by definition, it usually has a snare hit on the third beat of the bar, and both drums and bass tend to make heavy use of triplets. A good rule of thumb: if you find yourself wanting to nod your head, it's probably dubstep. If you want to dance, it's most likely something else. |
