Never heard of it before either, but here is what Wikipedia has to say:

I would watch my step around Dub too.
"The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong, it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair."

I don't get it either...

Dunno where LDub gets his handle from - initials LW perhaps?
But Dub as a musical genre has its origins in reggae remix culture going back at least to the 70s probably earlier. Reggae dubs are remixes of the original music with lots of reverb and emphasized bass, added nature sounds like rain and thunder in the background and de-emphasis of vocals. The term "dub" may derive from the word "double" as in a b-side remix or even an entire album getting doubled with song-for-song remixes.
Dubstep is a modern dance-club style of dub where they have kind of done away with the original song and just started in composing with the characteristics that were "dub" to begin with. Of course its more than that over simplification, but close enough.

urbandictionary.com has a good definition as well.
Ldub came form the fact that his last name is like wijokotoajskoski.
I asked him about this either at moab or on a thread buried somewhere. His brother would go by Jdub or whatever his first initial is, I can't remember but I think it was when we took a break on Poison Spider and he scored that sweet piece of wood out in the middle of nowhere while others(Billy) scouted ahead. Not 100% sure, but there were talks about his time in Hawaii as a "kona" farmer in the same conversation...
If he were in the navy, we would call him W13 or however many letters were in his last name.

Yeah, dubstep is a new popular type of dance music, characterized by heavy "broken" beats and repetative breaks and samples. Skrillex is the most popular dubstep artist that i can think of. Its a fad that I am sure will pass eventually.

I used to be a bouncer at a bar that had R&B nights and DubStep nights
I never really listened to it before I started working there, but now its basically all I listen to.

All you dumb mfr's have no clue...
In my world, Dub step can only be accomplished with copious quantities of alcohol, & the largest black leather gloves you can possibly find...
I has proof (about 90, but sometimes as high as 151)...

haha, all the above who said they have no idea what dubstep is... youtube skrillex, very 'woppy' techno music.
its the most recent fad of popular music. In fact, skrillex won a grammy this year for his music.

Ok.... so you just spent ten minutes kicking the stereo cos it sounds like it's gone BADLY wrong.... then you realise it's "Music" that your 14 year old is listening to. AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL completely talentless bilge churned out on a computer... Yep.. that's "Dubstep."
If he does it again I'm going to tie him to a chair and put on some Trace Adkins or Kip Moore at full blast till he surrenders!

But I'd be more inclined to blast the lad with Pink Floyd...
