The Popularization of Dubstep-Part 1: Dubstep Goes to College →

I am a sociologist by trade, so this hits home. I was planning on doing some research and writing on this, but it looks like I was beaten to the punch. Great writing.

“You may not be a fan of the wub-wub-wubbing musical genre known as dubstep, but itis increasingly taking center stage in American popular culture. For example, a recent NorthFace advertisement uses it while a snowboarder glides down a snowy mountainscape, Britney Spears  and Rihanna have both incorporated some dubstep into their recent work, teen heartthrob Justin Bieber is rumored to be working on his own dubstep album, and the teaser trailer for the new Mission Impossible film features a distinct wub-wubbing in the background. So what is dubstep anyway? And where did it come from?”

"Internet memes like this serve to articulate anxiety about perceived subcultural changes."
