Dubstep Vs House Music

House music is a genre that began in the United States in the city of Chicago. This music began in the early 1980’s and spread to other major cities beginning in 1985, including London and Paris. It then began to influence the popular music in Europe. About ten years later, house music was blended into mainstream pop and dance music all over the world.
House music was influenced by disco music. Generally, house music was dance based and characterized by repetitive beats, rhythms that focus around drum machines, hi-hat cymbals, and synthesized basslines; and though it displays a lot of similarities to disco music, house is much more electronic and minimalistic. House music’s main focus is the repetitive rhythm rather than the song itself. As
house music grew in popularity, several subgenres emerged. These subgenres include Acid house, Deep house, Swing house, Freestyle house, Microhouse/Minimal house, Progressive house, Tech house, and Vocal house to name a few.
Like dubstep which is also in the EDM genre, house music has expanded into several other genres and subgenres that vary in style and influence. Artists from other genres of music started using elements of house music in their work, including Daft Punk, who has worked across many other genres during their career. Still today house music remains popular everywhere in the world.
The earliest dubstep music dates back to 1998.
This was mostly experimental remixes of the 2-step garage tracks while trying to incorporate breakbeat. Dubstep originated in Europe and made its way to the United States. Being influenced by its sound it evolved into what the classic dubstep listeners decided to label brostep. The differences between the two are outlined by the fanatics, but they also have a lot of similarities. Although the term dubstep wasn’t used until around 2002 when the genre started to become more noticeable and clear-cut from 2-step and other elements of previous garage styles of music, they still wanted to segregate the different style of dubstep that evolved in the United States from the early experimental music. To be honest, we could go on for hours about subgenres, but I think it could have to do with different definitions of dubstep. A lot of people would restrict the dubstep title to original UK style like early Skream and Benga. However, I'd consider it to encompass the new wave of American dubstep as well. I hate the word 'brostep' and refuse to use it because of the negativity attached to it. It describes a kind of culture as opposed to the music itself. But this new Skrillex style of dubstep has changed a little of what defines dubstep hence why I'm not sure if you could say that all dubstep is restricted to 140. I think this kind of comes down to difference of opinion regarding a genre that is a little in
flux.
Dubstep is usually around 140/70 BPM and more emphasis on the bass rhythm than actual melody. Words to describe certain elements of dubstep include: Deep, which implies a more classic dubstep sound, filled with heavy sub bass, and emphasis on percussion elements. Heavy is heavy dubstep, not quite as noisy and distorted as filthy, but still enough to have people look at you funny at stoplights. Dubstep features a lot of the key elements of dubstep like shuffled, syncopated hi hats and an emphasis on the bass line. The drop is one of the most crucial elements of any dubstep song, the lead up to it makes you become excited and builds up tension, and the drop releases that tension.
Progressive house is around 120-130 BPM, primarily focused on having an evolving melody that builds and releases tension.

Both of these genres are forms of electronic music. This means that they are normally produced using a computer. Most also make use of loops and samples which are repeated throughout the track. The difference between the samples and loops is what differentiates the genre. Also, here are also overlaps between the genres but a general good understanding is that house and trance make use of a wide variety of sampling from classical instruments, trumpets, voice and digital music. Dubstep mainly uses nontraditional rhythms and sounds that may or may not be offbeat and loops are repeated less frequently creating a more unpredictable track. The unpredictability also makes them not stick to one texture. This genre can be Monophonic, polyphonic, or homophonic.
