Dubstep was at its peak at 2011–2012. It is still being produced by some producers such as virtual riot and Zomboy. It is however past its glory days. Even though “pure” dubstep is almost gone now you can hear countless trap tracks which incorporate heavy dub-step elements.

Unlike drum & bass before it, dubstep shows the creativity of British dance music by combining drum & bass with jungle and drum & techno. The use of hi hats and snare rolls create great, distinctive bass sounds that add a nice punch. Additionally, adds a great punchy quality to the drum-n-bass sounds as well.

“Step” in this context means something like “dance move” or even “rhythm”. So “dubstep” means something like “the latest step (ie. rhythm) which is kind of dub-like (ie. slow, minimal, heavy bass)”.
