Dubstep became a viral sensation a decade ago, but at the height of its popularity it vanished. Dubstep came from UK garage music in the 90's, influenced by the syncopation of 2-step and the bass and reverb of Jamaican dub. What started off in London as an underground scene, became the soundtrack for popculture in the 2010's. So how did dubstep become mainstream, and where did it go?
LA Buckner researches the roots of dubstep and then attempts to create his own dubstep track. Everything from Skrillex to Skream, Benga, and Burial.

Very informative too
Justin Bieber and Britney Spears did not incorparate it into "their" music, the producers who made the music for them did.
"achtually..."
It's resumed for the sake of clarity. Most of us knows they're just label's puppets
I feel like their names are more brands including writers, producers, and stylists and not just the individuals
But I do feel you when people give credit to the puppet not the master
Yeah, Churchill didnt have nothing to do with the war. The war was fought by the soldiers
Duh! Britney Spears was already using it since 2003. Then in 2007 later in 2011 when genre exploded.

Asha Apple it all depends on what you like, back then all the dubstep had somewhat of the same sounds but now there is sooo many styles it’s hard to just say “oh I like dubstep “ dubstep as a whole has evolved so much from hype dubstep, more club style dubstep, shit we even got like rocker/metal style dubstep!

If you think dubstep "disappeared" you're just not paying attention
Facts. It's a whole underground community.
I still listen to older skrillex albums but I know people still make it
It disappeared from the mainstream ie it's not as popular now.
Pegboard nerds for example
Disciple Records people. It's alive, even if just barely
There should be a followup video about what dubstep has become in today's day and age, it's expanded into so many more sub genres and allowed producers to create such insane tracks that nobody thought was possible 10 or 20 years ago, and the whole scene is very much alive and definitely far from its peak
I agree that the genre is expanding but the exposure has been long gone. The genre doesn't seem to be getting any mainstream recognition as it was in the previous years, and I feel we are losing more producers than we are gaining. If that's true, then in order to gather new listeners, this genre needs to be pushed into the light in some way. I don't think Riddim or any sound design tutorial video is ever going to do that. IMO we need a strong melodic scene. Young producers like Geoxor pushing boundaries in theory and composition is what's great for not just Dubstep, but Electronic Dance Music as a whole. It's talented, highly musical, and promotes sound design all in one fell swoop.
What new sub genres of dubstep?? The scene ain't what it was let's be honest. Only a few events in London still playing true to the original sound

Sounds like a verse from the Holy Dubstep Bible.
As a raver, dubstep is still pretty popping in the scene.
It's just fallen out of mainstream.
As it should. The mainstream misunderstood it and abused it. They don't deserve it.
As a raver, there are no ravers. Rave is gone. There is only fakes rebelling against mommy and daddy like a new sulky punk rock. It's over. Go and listen to Bruce Springsteen and be honest about it.

2:41 Burial and especially his album untrue deserve their own episode, I guess :-)
Absolutely
Pleasantly surprised with this one. You captured the history of dubstep very correctly, however I feel like Digital Mystikz would’ve been a better example of the original UK dubstep with dub influences, although I’m happy you mentioned Benga&Skream. Secondly, regarding the spin-off genres, it should be mentioned that dubstep essentialy became a spin-off genre of itself since nowaydays weekly if not daily new records are coming out which are capturing the old minimal dubstep sound very nicely. Record labels such as innamind, system, crucial recordings, and infernal sounds are references thereof. Lastly, the tune you made really sounds like a Silkie-style tune, so that’s worth checking out 😎
I knew that eventually we'd come back around to the 2006-2009 minimal dubstep sounds again (even though it really didn't go anywhere). I've written down the labels you mentioned but would you mind hitting me with some top artists you dig that are pushing out original dubstep sounds? I'm about to go back in time lol
Everyone uses Virtual Riot loops and actually nobody mentions him in the history of dubstep
because hes not the history of dubstep. hes the future of dubstep
Shawnee Davis his music is my future as well. Maybe take a listen to Fox Stevenson as well, he makes dubstep/dnb/a-bit-more-regular electronic music.

@@kouyouofficial532 Lmao they also had skrillex on the thumbnail. Who made brostep, A somewhat dead subgenre..
the only good sounding thing in this song is the sample pack lmao
Is this what counts for production these days? Sample loops and unchanged basic saws? Didn't sound like dustep at all, wasn't even an lfo in the main track...
Brostep kid here. Since early 2010s. Grew up and still live on the stuff. Thank u.
I can never hate on the genre....
I can still remember the very first time I ever heard dubstep...being totally unprepared for what it was.
It was actually a live show....Bassnectar playing the main stage at some festival....I think it was called Forecastle? Way back in 2010.
Had taken a small dose of acid beforehand...and then when the music started, it honestly legit blew my mind. SUCH a good feeling letting my body and mind get lost in this totally novel sonic atmosphere. The entire crowd was one....it was one of those rare genuinely magical shows that I'll never forget.
Wait... PBS is covering Dubstep? Times have changed.
Frozen Canuck PBS and NPR been covering Dub from 2011 at its height.

@@ilikeycoloralot thats really cool bro, imma check it out
Dubstep didn't die. It's just hiding from all the frat boys.
Exactly
literally this.
Rmwhen there is little chance of it ever providing a living anymore, it's pretty much dying. I started the first dubstep weekly in my city btw, when Drum N Bass started losing too much money and I couldn't afford to do it anymore. Oh yeah.. 12th Planet was a DnB guy/promoter previously too.
real talk
no. it died. (which is a good thing, music needs to constantly evolve. stagnation is bad for art)
Dubstep did disappear for most in the western pop culture scene. Skrillex made it mainstream, but once he got tired of it nobody since has been able to attain his levels of popularity.
However, that doesn't mean dubstep itself is dead. The bass heavy sounds and artists analyzed in this video are from old school (dare I say "classic") dubstep. It's like saying rock died with the likes of AC/DC and Led Zeppelin. New age dubstep is much harder and more mid-range focused with an emphasis on the drum heavy buildup/drop.
It's still very much alive and one of the most popular genres in the EDM rave/festival scene next to hardstyle, house, and trap. There's also a resurgence of dubstep influence in K-pop music right now. Just listen to the drums, synthesizers, and structure in Pop/Stars by K/DA. You'll hear what I mean.
what are some good dubstep artists today?

@@SoundFieldPBS THIS!! Although I would argue that it wasn't really chart topping to begin with. It seemed to get caught in a weird space where pop audiences thought it was tuneless garbage while the metal crowd thought it was too dorky
When I think of dubstep I think of my middle school years and playing Call of Duty while listening to Skrillex
Edit: What game you have played at this time?
Yeh I think that's why a lot of us ask where dubstep disappeared to because as we got older our taste in music changed (probably for the better) and we just weren't around it as much. It's like never going outside and asking why the sky disappeared. But I hate most robot music nowadays so I'm probably biased
Agreed, i think for allot of us it defined our Teenage School years. CoD and Dub now those were good times....
Listen to the song used for blacks ops 2. It’s called: Imma try it out. 🔥
Yep that was exactly me.
This just made me feel really old
As an English lad who was there, in those tiny clubs listening to skream and benga back in the early 2000s, I thank you for discussing the true and real roots!
So much key stuff info was left out. Pioneers and those who revolutionized the sound and equipment they used. Respect to Deep Medi, Mala, Coki, DMZ, Vivek, Goth Trad. Borgore, Datsik, Cookie Monsta, Bar 9, Excision, and many more.
I loved this man! Nice!
I remember listening to Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites the week it came out. Was definitely hooked for a few years lol. The dubstep phase
Hyrum Beck same
It was my guilty pleasure
So you never really liked dubstep
@@MrPDTaylor Well I listened to Skrillex, Excissions, Bassnectar, Spag heddy, Knife Party just to name a few. I'd say I liked it for a minute lol
@@hyrumbeck2739 so all of the poppiest, cookie cutter brostep. You've confirmed you never really liked dubstep
“I thought it was an earthquake. Then I went outside and it was davie 504”
EPICO.
SLAP
OMG
*Slap in Italian*
*S L A P*
This is an amazing explanation. You earned a sub.
I just have to take a moment to appreciate the immense sound stage in the track at the end of the video. It sounded like I was completely surrounded and different sounds were originating from different areas all over the place. Not something I notice in a lot of electronic music these days. Well mixed for sure!
Dubstep never really left lol, that’s one of the biggest edm subgenres at festivals. It’s just not mainstream
Skateitall1000 EDM is an umbrella term - Electronic Dance Music. Dubstep is not a Subgenre, it’s a Genre. Riddim is a Subgenre to Dubstep, it’s basically boneless dubstep
Rehtse you get my point though i don’t have to be to the T lol
“i thought it was an earthquake, then i went outside and looked and i realized it was BASS.”
*davie504 has entered the chat*
@Wolf checkmate!
69th like no one ruin it
Injinct Man someone ruined it
@@jackpasternak7586 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
@@Injinct dont worry we going for 420
Dubstep still exists, they’re making new dubstep songs to this day
remember when we thought dubstep was going to be the future of music
I think Brostep is what made it peak in popularity with all the bass programming and such.
With future bass and drops being prevalent in pop music, I'd say that was actually kinda accurate
@@petersun6451 you know what, i never thought of that so you might be right
Dubstep isn’t for everyone. It brings a particular group of people together and there is much love in the dubstep community.
Cause your all high on molly being touchy feely
@win2008workstation deadmau5 isn't dubstep lmao.
Oh e-tards?
Thats what all music does
@@dughole54 is that from a song? sounds like lyrics xd
