Like hip-hop, it's more defined by a community than any individual sound, but ask the average listener about it and you'll probably get an answer that involves 140 beats per minute-tempos, cheap sounds out of the Playstation era, broken beats, and, well. Starting out as what was essentially garage-rap, the genre has seen major sonic shifts -from the early live emceeing on pirates to the mixtape era defined by Ghetts and The Movement, to the harsh, abrasive sonics of producers like Maniac, to Butterz's reimagining of grime's club potential and the experimental weirdness of Boxed. Dubstep's sound actually changed once people settled on that name: it started out as the instrumental B-sides to 2-step records, only to morph into new school dub-reggae and beyond. For drum and bass, it's what it says on the tin, plus that speed rush. For house and techno, it's that 4x4 thump split into increasingly specific microgenres.
