Dub step is a type of music originating in London in the early 2000s. Its major influence comes from Garage, another type of UK urban music. Dub step uses a lot of snare drum sounds which it has taken from other genres such as Grime. Its focus on the base often makes it seem quite dark and accompanied with an average of 140 beats per minute, means that it is eligible to have high tempo areas to the song. Dub step is often played in a minor key, which gives a harsh, slightly aggressive tone which goes well with the urban street scene from whence it came.
Dub step videos are often centered around criminal activity happening on the street. They utilise its aggressive sound to create a feeling of hardship and wrong doing. The videos are often full of emotion and sometimes anger. (http://dancetechnomusic.suite101.com/article.cfm/what_is_dubstep)
