Typically, dubstep is distinguished by its 2step rhythm, or use of snare sounds similar to 2step garage and grime, and an emphasis on bass, often producing "dark" sounds, but just as frequently producing sounds reminiscent of dub reggae or funky US garage. Modern dubstep is becoming more and more mainstream to the fact that the dubstep tracks are remixes of chart music.
