This song gives me MEGA natural highs (and is supposed to be dubstep, but some of the purists may disagree ;))

A dubstep is the tread at the top of a flight of stairs that you thought was there, but isn't. Its what causes you to climb to the top of the stairs then effortlessly and gracelessly trip over something invisible.
next round.....

That's not dubstep, that's popstep. This is dubstep:

Early 'mainstream' dubstep (its roots are a few years earlier and much more underground) -

I think its quite similar to drum and bass but a bit slower. I know what it sounds like but not sure what makes it what it is.
Chase and Status are a big dubstep group, i think.

It's utter shite. No further explanation is required.

It's funny when I first heard dubstep it was Burial, but I just don't think of him as dubstep at all now. I just think of it it as Burial, as you know it's him any track you here. Now, I don't think I could slander his beautiful music by calling it dubstep.

its the trendy genre at the moment, in general, pretty low quality control, but the kids & radio 1 like it!

I don't think radio 1 play propper dub step really. You need to hear a live mix of it.

Id rather not tbh...

The modern dubstep is shite - listen to some of the older stuff from 2002/3/4 and the production quality is significantly higher. Mostly down to it not being 'trendy' and everyone and their mother having a go a producing tunes...
I can recommend the Dubstep All Stars CD mix series for a good chronology of dubstep.

Skiffle 'n bass is where it's at this year, kids.

Strangely I think its the so called pop step that least offensive, the 'real' dub step really is an acquired taste

you won't hear proper dub on radio 1

sounds bucking rotten.

maccruiskeen, i`ll be laughing for days at that!

Play a drum n bass tune slowly and you have dubstep.
Some of it is ok, some really dirty industrial sounds, most of it is crap.

Skrillex is not dubstep, it's shite electro glitchy stuff.
16 bit are my favourite dubstep artists, their stuff is pretty varied and goes from properly filthy stuff to nice relaxed things like this

Agreed entirely.

I think...
It actually started with artists like Vex'd, Skream, Benga, Pinch and DJ Distance. Mary Anne Hobbs show Dubstep Wars showcased it near the start of it's mainstream acceptance. Their sound got stale and dubstep has been adopted as a moniker for all sorts of bass music.
eg. I heard Nero calling themselves dubstep on Chan 4 the other week. Sounded like trance to me just with a different bass sound.
I like loads of bass music, but don't really give a shit what genre it's called! (I don't think "bass music" is a genre name. Is it?!)([edit]also the 'slowed down drum n bass' thing is no criticism, as that's how the artists described it when they started making it)
([edit] - from wiki - ...in 2001, this and other strains of dark garage music began to be showcased and promoted at London's night club Forward. 10 years it's been going, strange the question should come up now!)

When Radio 1 jump on the bandwagon, you can be sure the genre's finished

I heard Benga describe dubstep as sub-bass played at 140 bpm. Sounds about right, and he should know.

Oi, Bob - leave the Hobbs alone!! She doesn't (didn't) bandwagon jump

Not a big fan of dubstep but do like this ever so much

mainstream what has become called 'dubstep' is awful, nero, skrillex etc, just isn't really dubstep, horrible commercial pap to please the masses. some great stuff out there though, some good mixes on places like DOA.
