Thanks so much!

Xtrullor is the master of Orchestral Dubstep, some of my all-time favorites are from him, not to mention some of the hardest drops ever.
godamn right... my favorite song of his is Samsara, what is yours? 🤔
@@obedpadilla5264 Nirmiti
@@gabomsc2146 SAME!!!!!
@@obedpadilla5264 Either Paracosm or Sheol, though Ego Death could definitely find a place there too. (I don't think any of these are orchestral dubstep but they are my favorite Xtrullor songs)
@@obedpadilla5264 supernova. shit hits hard with high bass headphones
MDK is so cool that he made his own kind of dubstep.
@systic gmd I'm a fan of space invader
@@tacoboy2218 I loved listening to space invader for the 1st time, wish to experience the same feeling again
@systic gmd mine was always MDK - Sur La Wobble. came a few time on Frankiein1080p but that was so long ago lol :p
First heard his music in geometry dash, unique level
not trying to hate but i think Savant for example made Dubstep with video game sounds before an MDK "created" Wubstep? The song Vario for example came out 2012
As someone who enjoys dubstep, I can guarantee that these songs are indeed dubstep.
As someone who doesn’t listen to dubstep that much, I can guarantee that these are songs
@@CarassiusAu funnily enough, to qualify as a "song", someone has to actually "sing", so most of dubstep without vocal samples are just "tracks". Also idk how it works with short vocal samples 🤷🏼♂️
@@leonpaul6198 Ok fine I can guarantee that these are sounds
@@CarassiusAu well actually
Correct.
@@leonpaul6198 Well actually sound is a collection of waves in the air created by movement of an object. So as long as you don't hit the PLAY button its not even a sound but a computer script! so I can guarantee that these are scripts.
Sometimes I forget how small the dubstep community is, but then I realized how many songs from this list I already recognized
Fr? Dubstep is like the leading edm genre here
@@brenchyalowicois6748 Most people don't get their music from youtube, if you can believe it. Dubstep may seem popular here, but it's pretty small when you consider spotify, apple music, etc.
Right, I got 70% of them right when guessing the creator and 100% right when guesing the genre. I haven't lostend to EDM in about 2 years, still wont forget the OG 's Xtra and Sullivan King.
@@brenchyalowicois6748 "Here?" Not in the states it sure ain't, tech, deep, and bass house currently are reigning supreme. I don't imagine the UK is much different.
Imo I just notice it a lot of fans are usually out of state or country, especially since the people I'm around with have never even heard of any of these subgenres. I'm aware of that, but it does get lonely thinking I'm the only dub enjoyer out there. But I'll get to meet others like me one day :)
Melodic dubstep has to be my favorite out of all of them, the drops are just unmatched
I agree
So awesome sounding fsss!!! I’m assuming you’ve heard seven lions, abandoned, crystal skies, trivecta, ARMNHMR, Au5, etc. What’s your favorite artist(s)?
@@garrettrobson4388seven lions
To think that this genre all started from a small venue in South London almost 20 years ago. Very interesting how it evolved. I've been following it pretty much since the start.
More accurate to cite Croydon than London. London didn’t catch on until afterwards
@@naturesdopeflow Croydon is South London, its literally called the London Borough of Croydon within Greater London, its been a London Borough since 1965
@@MC24DB Yeah but to North Londoners it may as well be in a different country.
@@yoironfistbro8128 I live in North London
What venue exactly?
So glad you put colour bass / melodic riddim in this, ace aura slaps
I think Skrux is one of the best when it comes to chillstep and melodic dubstep. The dudes an underrated master that’s been around for YEARS
AGREED
He's style is often referred to as Lovestep
@@maurommmmm4187 damn I didn’t even know that existed lmao there’s too many sub-genres in dubstep
And then there is Teminite
I will say Blackmill or Electus, they make a really good Chillstep/Melodic dubstep since 2009
I used to listen to only dubstep when I was a teen, and as my music taste evolved I gradually let go of it. It’s nice to come back to my roots from time to time❤️
Ik this was 2 years ago but as a teen this is the only thing I listen to
Same here, it still a part of me
For me, I started listening to dubstep in 2012.
Still loyal to this genre (& its subgenres) till this day. 💪💪💪
big fan of all the types of chillstep, melodic, and orchastral dubstep subgenres
Ahaha i love how you said in the deathstep part "i am anything but calm rn" that was hilarious HAHAHAHA
it wasn't terribly hard deathstep either
@@BGDMusic But still good tho :>
7:41 Fingerdash 🤑👌
Good one for classic dubstep. Would have liked to see Nero - Innocence but that will do lol. I grew up with all the old school dubstep Skream, Benga and Coki. All the founders of dubstep. Crazy how the sound developed.
Welcome reality is the best dubstep album
“Developed” more like ruined by Americans 😂
@@hoidoei941 you can have that opinion, but some people genuinely love this stuff, why it isnt completely dead ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If its different its not automatically bad
off topic but do yall think skrillex ruined dubstep?
@@Capta1nG no he just made brostep
The wubstep is my fav! the rhythm is pretty awsome!
This is amazing! Another style that isn't always considered its own style is gorestep. A part 2 would be amazing!
really deserves more views this is so good
I find it fitting that SNAILS, Sullivan King, and Evilwave were the examples or Vomit, Metal, and Deathstep respectively. And ending things off with MDK was a banger 🔥 (I actually play that song's Geometry Dash level repeatedly 😂)
I honestly dont really like fingerbang tbh, i like artists like ELEPS, Nightkilla adn Derpcat tho, and yes ofc i found them trough gd
eleps is a true gamer my guy
@@AstralNovaaa Xtrullor too
Yeah fingerDASH I'm gonna say for obvious reasons is a cool RobTop level, but the new level, SHEEESSHHH

Never tought that dubstep evolves so much. my favs are chilstep, orchestral, melodic, but wubstep and colour bass ire interesting too..👍🏻
Mine too.
My favorite styles are melodic & orchestral dubstep!
Thank you for using more obscure examples and artists. Most people use super mainstream examples
Thank you for ,,Voidwalkers" in Melodic Dubstep 3:37!
No problem!
Why did I immediately think of rocket league when I heard it?
@@technodude246yt4 Because this song is in Rocket League radio ;-)

I don’t get it
@@garrettrobson4388 becuz you need an expensive headset to hear these low frequencies (40 - 20 hz)

nice songs bro, the dubstep community right now has some of the best videos from the smallest creators
Dam its great that you chose Nimda - Defeat for Tearout, its one of the best ones out there imo. Great showcase video.
the deathstep choice wasn't as good though, could've been better
@@BGDMusic I chose the song because I know Evilwave is a Deathstep artist, and the song itself seemed to fit the characteristics to be considered Deathstep.
Can you tell me what you thought was particularly wrong with the choice?
@@7yrannosaurusrex i don't think it was particularly hard, stuff like Code: Pandorum's song Chosen (and a handful of other ones from the God LP) along with Dyroth's music, or KROWW, or something like that would've been better but that's just me
@@BGDMusic Dyroth and KROWW are the goats. Literally lol.
@@3toinsanity ye
3:36 so glad you inncluded Chime and Au5's Voidwalkers
i personally LOVE melodical and orchestral dubstep, having dubstep as a clean melody is perfect
I've been a fan of mdk and wubstep ever since he released the rise album. good stuff
This is absolutely incredible. This really does teach a lot within 8 minutes of pure awesomeness. As someone who enjoys dubstep this was heaven
Melodic dubstep is still my favorite🔥
You forgot the other style of dubstep: Minatory (the most evil and demonic version of dubstep and the subgenre of deathstep).
About Deathstep, sometimes it has a fat bass and also it has a choir together with it, just like the song from Code:Pandorum. Others like the machine gun bass is mostly repetitive, so noisy and so screechy can be considered as Deathstep. Its presence is creepy, evil, and can be brutal and aggressive.
And about Tearout, its presence is rough and heavy, and the snare is way more heavy and metallic. It has a machine gun bass but not mostly and must be sounded heavy. The presence of Tearout can be dark but not creepy or evil, can be sounded a little screechy but not very distorted (with a very loud noise), can be deadly but not brutal, can be extremely strong or furious but not extremely aggressive, and can be monstrous but not demonic.
But there is one more thing that I want to add. Tearout songs like "Future Stomp" and "Death Pit" by Marauda is not Tearout itself, because of the "snare" that sounds like a clap (even that it sounds metallic) and the drum beat is more close to Riddim. So to be specific, it is considered as Tearout Riddim, but belongs to Tearout in general.
In fact, Code:Pandorum's music is not deathstep, since deathstep is not a melodic genre by definition, his music is just heavy dubstep
@@Repayola deathstep should be more melodic, i want to bring more to it
Future Stomp is Future Stomp
@@Repayola iirc he called/wanted it to be called Melodic deathstep but don't quote me on that
@@toastpulver3422 if I'm not mistaken he calls his music heavy dubstep
Aa a GD player I appreciate the fact you added Fingerbang on dubstep styles
Indeed
Touch grass
I've been listening to Evilwave since he started and is definitely the GOAT of deathstep!
The video is well made, the music choice seems to describe the different styles very well.
But there is a big flaw in the sequence of the styles displayed. Many of the style descriptions refer to other styles that are not yet shown in the video (which is not fine for a viewer that doesnt even know what any of these styles mean). Also any similar styles should have been put together in the sequence so the viewer can hear what actually is the difference between the two different styles.
my favs are chillstep, classic dubstep, deathstep, drumstep, trapstep, melodic dubstep, metalstep, orchestral dubstep, viking riddim, & wubstep
Chillstep, Meldub, Drumstep, and and combination of those three are my favs
Thanks i love dubstep
This is straight up a master class covering multiple decades. Thank you!
LOVED IT. And there's so many other genres that are still to be mentioned: lovestep, liquid dubstep, gorestep, 140, deep/dark dubstep, futurestep/garagestep/burialstep, purple dubstep, terrorstep, wobblestep...
And then there's the OG dubstep, cause the meaning of "classic dubstep" and "melodic dubstep" vary individually to when you discovered the genre. For me OGs are Benga, Coki, Mala, Caspa, Loefah. The various Nero, Flux Pavilion, Zeds Dead, Mt Eden, they were everyday dubstep, or even melodic.
Deathstep & Melodic Dubstep are my jam!
Yeah can't get enough of hybrid trap RZRKT is amazing
In my opinion, NightKilla / NK is one of the best dubstep music composer. Although the songs may be a bit repetitive, shit slaps hard. I definelty recommend listening to his tracks.

@@xurphobia Oh nice, i definetly should agree with you
@@glitchedsmile 😏👍
@@xurphobia yessir, but then i evolved into hardstyle and i am addicted even more😂
where is ill sharp minor and 211?
You’ve got good taste. Soul Dealer, Mercia, and Eyes on Fire are some of my all time favorites.
Wtf I just searched for Final Warning on Spotify and every song in this video came up.
Man, this one is way better than all the other dubstep subgenres videos i've seen! I finally found out what Robostep is all about lmao.
But, maybe a very little mistake could be the fact that Zeds Dead's remix of Eyes On Fire isn't really the best example of Classic Dubstep, mainly because that song is actually Filthstep. I'm not trying to say that you made a mistake, i just wanted to clarify in case a new dubstep fan encounters this video and wants the best of the examples, and maybe that one isn't really the best of the best. A better example would be Benga - Crunked Up imo.
Overall, this video is amazing and thank you a lot!
Thanks for the feedback!
If you like Robostep then you should give D-Jahsta a listening to, The Robostep God himself
@@svoak85 oh ok sounds nice, thank you m8!
@@Foreverexhailingegodeath yeah i've already listened some of his stuff, i also made a shitpost about a song from him lmao
The fuck are y’all even talking about 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 filth step lmfao
I love videos where they explain and show subgenres
Me too
3:58 AAAAH YES THOOSE STRINGS
5:14 One of the best riddim songs ever in my opinion
i like rewatching this sometimes and seeing how much more i listen to
I think that my favourites when it comes to dubstep is animestep and colour bass. I really love them both
I know nothing about dubstep. Love how you broke these down! I really dig melodic drumstep and orchestral. I'm going have to check quite a few of these out! Thanks for the awesome video!
Xtrullor is my favorite dubstep creator ever, just wow how he syncs the music, and the orchests he is making, all the things
Xtrullor is so slept on
Orchestral dubstep is sick, came across this group called Lttlfire and their new track I think is a REALLY good example
Chime, ELEPS, and RIOT (not to be confused with virtual riot) are my three favorite artists. You got the first two who both have more melodic and riddim like songs while riot is dubstep on straight crack. Love him.
RIOT is one of my favorite artists, I loved the songs “Blackwater” and “Overkill” from him
I love MDK man, he’s very cool and very unique with his wubstep.
This is a very North America (Canada/US) post 2010 definition of the sound. You're missing 140 Dubstep, Purple Dubstep, Deep Dubstep, Bristol (UK) Dubstep, South London (UK) Dubstep as the obvious few. Even certain record labels can be used to describe a Dubstep style. Looks like UK, European, New Zealand, Japanese dubstep does not reach the US audience. Very insightful examples, and good definitions of what is being produced across the pond. Hopefully this inspires you to expand this list.
Even as a diehard dubstep fan, this gave me some new appreciation once again, thank you sir
Good playlist bro now I m waiting also the part 2 with subgenres like minatory,nightstep etc...
I suggest Irene and seulgi-monster (final part is Brostep) maybe this is can be called k-popstep
Dude the editing was awesome, plus also thanks for the many new songs an styles
That was very good, I'm surprised you didn't talk about Freeform Bass and Future Riddim though.
Thanks for this fine collection of my favorite type of music
A bit strange for Riddim and Brostep to be shown relatively late in the video for how often they're referenced
ik im late but its alphabetical
Man you helped me alot, cause i was never know what kind of dubstep i make XD
Format your timestamps as
0:00 Start
0:20 Something else
That way, UA-cam can show them on the player bar
Riddim and old school dubstep, my favorites❤
7:47 LMAO Must be why it's called Fingerdash in Geometry Dash
T-Rex: these are the different dubsteps
Me: ah yes the dupstep seems to be made of dubstep
ah classic dubstep. it brought me so many memories. i miss those times, so many good songs! there are plenty of awesome songs released now as well, of course, but i miss the simplicity of certain songs. dubstep doesn't always need to be so noisy to be dubstep!
I love these little bits of personality you add with the comments on-screen :D
In the future I think you should try to organize the video a little better. For example you chose Animestep first then describe it as being similar to Brostep but you haven't yet shown us Brostep so for any who aren't familiar it isn't a helpful description until they hear it a little later in the video. So I'd recommend sectioning these off into a few major categories then after you explain the major category follow it up with any sub genres that have similarities. I think it'd help improve the viewing experience, but so far good video! :D
it’s in alphabetical order
@@anko_dtm yeah but alphabetical order is counterintuitive if you are educating people on the different styles.
Duuude, awesome compilation! Thanks for a bunch of new songs, and knowledge what kind of dubstep i like more.❤
Headbanging to all of this, also pooping, also in pain from kidney stone
see a doctor
This video is amazing. I can finally find dubstep in different genres
Wubstep could really be compared to something like a brostep spin on purple music.
I got into dubstep in 2007 when the tempo was slow, the bass was deep, and the melody was wobbles. I'm not bashing this stuff at all, but it's so crazy how it evolved from that grungy, dank, reggae vibe to this stuff. Almost feels like entirely different genres.
Same dude, I love me some wobbles. Have ever listened to shlump?
I enjoy watching videos like this to learn about new kinds of music that I’m unfamiliar to
I need someone to make a 26-genre dubstep track with subgenres for each letter. I don't know how you'd properly transition from one to the other at some points, but it'd be fun to see.
Animestep
Brostep
Chillstep
Deathstep
Extratonestep*
Future Riddim
Glitch Hop
Hybrid Trap
Intelligent Riddim*
Jumpstep/Jazzstep*
Killstep*
Loudstep*

I heard another type of dubstep called "Debals", it incorporates Tribal like themes with a heavy sub bass (there's no elements like growls or sustain basses, but it uses dubstep kicks and snares and some tribal elements)
Now I don't know where else to find it, That genre is so specific and extremely hard to find, the reason I knew about this because I was a lucky few to find the track on Spotify, and when I tried to find it again, it's gone (?)
So yeah, the genre is valid, just not all over the place yet.
For the other letters just add step or riddim to any word thats semi relevant to music or to the specific song, and you got yourself a genre. After all who's to say you're less valid than the trog who woke up one day and decided animestep wasn't bad enough.
example: extratone step (extratone with dubstep drums?), intelligent riddim (IDM but its dubstep?) etc
I have to throw in P is for “pornstep” 😅
I specifically remember a song called that by Dodge & Fuski and it contained moaning noises
Where's polyriddim?! 🤣
where dubcore
I love the variation in dubstep from chill and happy when you're on a road trip to angry and energetic when you're doing deadlifts in the gym xD
I didn't know that there are so much different dubstep styles. I don't like that much classic dubstep, melodic drumstep, robostep and substep. But the other 16 styles are very nice for me😁
My favourite Dubstep Interprets are Panda Eyes, Teminite, XTrullor, Excision, Virtual Riot, ColBreakz, Eleps, Getsix, Code:Pandorum/INHUMAN and Evilwave. I hear Dubstep songs from much more Interprets but they are my favourite.
To my opinion Tenimite makes the brutalist dubstep songs.
Deathstep,Tearout and Viking Riddim are some of my favourite genres in that video.
4:05 who thinks that ColBreakz is good at Colour-Bass?
Honestly sick choices here, good vid

we need more DUBCORE or 200step
i’m trying to teach myself how to make music and i’ve just been binging so many of these “subgenres of [x] with examples” to expand my music taste. had very limited knowledge of dubstep before this but some of these songs are definitely going on my playlist now

Great video and choose of songs, keep it up! My favorite ones are probably melodic dubstep and wubstep btw
Bro y'all gotta check out Frequensphere. This dude makes some kind of orchestral dubstep mixed with deathstep basses of some sort. It's like deathstep came from heaven instead of hell.
im planning on making a mixtape to be a DJ at a convention soon and this video really helps narrowing down my search to what music i prefer. thanks rex :)
I had never heard of animestep before. I wish I could have kept it that way
old dubstep and tearout are so rich in percussion, defo my favorite subgenres
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Fingerbang by MDK supposed to be Glitch Hop? The BPM of 112 fits more into Glitch Hop than Dubstep as well.
Yeah it’s definitely glitch hop
yeah fingerbang is glitch hop but wubstep was just kinda a joke genre that MDK named that most electro or glitch hop songs could be considered
MDK's songs have such a unique feeling that he is truly in power of coming up with a new genre
