   @theblessing dubstep is one of two things.
   
   1. Younger millennials (the ones born after roughly 1990) in the hipster era of around 2010 were looking for more obscure niche music and found out that they JUST missed out on the Bristol music scene of the 00s. They missed out on trip-hop, DnB, jungle, chemical, breakbeat etc. So they memed dubstep into popularity because it also came from Bristol and they tried to make it a thing that would define and them and they spread it all over social media as it started to explode after Facebook opened up to non-uni students and smartphones got more ubiquitous. Nobody really liked it but people just wanted to feel like they were part of a scene. The Bristol scene. It's like how Californians wanted to get into the "grunge scene" of Seattle but found out there was no "scene." Just dirty autistic guys in their garages in the suburbs. So they went back home to California and made it a scene.
   
   And yeah... nobody liked that's why it dropped off so quickly.
   
   2. A psy-op from the Tavistock Institute.
