basically i dont understand the difference between bass and dubstep...its basically the same right?

bass music is more of an all encompassing term, dubstep is more specific imo.

My interpretation is that bass music encompasses all sorts of genres from dubstep, drum & bass, breakbeat, breakstep, etc ... any genre that has its foundations based on bass - if you excuse the pun.

Dubstep is a variation of bass music normally following a particular formula; approximately 140bpm, half-step, reh reh reh, Of course, a lot of artists have interpreted this in their own way, adding/subtracting various elements i.e. Doctor P confusing screeching synth for bass

For instance, Aphex Twin has some bassy music, I'd call it bass music but certainly not dubstep.

/YaGetMe?

some people just call dnb 150bpm+ and dubstep 140bpm

cool, i get it now, leads me to another question, excuse the ignorence, whats breakstep?? like breaks but kinda dubstepp'y i guess?

breakstep was before dubstep

Dubstep is a genre, didn't think bass was a genre...
