Dubstep is a type of electronic music that started in the underground UK Garage scene within London during the late 90s; becoming one of the most well-known music genres in the world. Prominent artists like Skream, Benga, and Digital Mystikz are very well-known Dubstep producers. Skrillex And many other brostep artists that rose to prominence in the early 2010s are divisively said to not be dubstep by some but given how the style is derivative of original dubstep most online sources catalog it within dubstep. Dubstep has roots in UK Garage, Grime, Drum and Bass and Jungle.
