Where did Dubstep originate from?

Reggae Original Dub and how is it similar too Dubstep
Dub is a Genre of Music which grew out of the form of music called Reggae in the 1960's, Reggae is a from of music developed by the Jamaican people. Many think that Reggae is the only type of music that Jamaicans play and produce where they have many other styles/Genres of music, and Music is a very important part of the Jamaicans culture amongst other things, and their Culture has influenced out music. in the was that the slow style and culture of the Jamaican Reggae music influenced the Genre Dub. but Dub it is considered a Sub Genre because it's not that popular, as apposed to Dub step.
The main idea of this genre of music is too remove vocals from a recording, and to reshape the beat. It is quite similar to the genre Dub step, in which the artist removes the vocals from a recording, and adds audio effects too the beat of the song too make it "drop heavy Bass" and as refereed too people "Dirty Bass", and then they also "play" with the vocals, so that it sounds different from the original, and each Artist has their own unique style of remixing.
 
An example of Reggae Dub Music is above with the Marijuana leaf as the logo (I didn't set it as that, that's the you tube video).
And to the left is a example of Modern Dub step, this example isn't a "Dirty Bass" type as such, but you can tell the Bass Drops that have been added in, and where the Tempo of the song has been changed.

So as you can see the Music that the Jamaican Community produce, has influenced some of the most popular songs these days.


^^This isn't all about the language as such, BUT is about the culture and origins of music, and how some of our music is influenced by the Jamaicans Music.
