"Dub"step is something of a misnomer and did not spin off from dub. It evolved out of 2-step garage as part of the UK Hardcore Continuum[0], which began in the second summer of love in '88 [1].

- golergka 9y agoIt's usually agreed that dubstep got it's name from the dubplates, but you can't discount the dub's influence: the heavy use of delays, raggae-influenced lyrics and other dub elements are prevalent in the early dubstep of the 00s.
