Word of the Day

Dubblestep

Young people in dance parties across American have been wobbling and moving to a new style of electronic music called dubstep. It is a combination of UK 2step garage, grime and dub. This genre was created in early 2000s and it is recognized by its heavy use of bass. Notable artists who popularized the sound are Diplo, Crookers, Bar 9, Skream and High Rankin. Currently in America, dubstep is mostly known by electro and house music fans, but the elements of drum and bass has made it likable for hip-hop fans as well.
In late May, Mad Decent coined a new genre called Dubblestep. Mad Decent is Diplo's Philadelphia based music label, which has worked with and signed many of the most revolutionary underground artists that make dance music.

As technology progresses, fashion does the same. The invention of jean leggings has allowed people to have the look of leggings while they also get the comfort of leggings with a fit that was usually acquired by a select few jean brand. The term 'jeggings' is a combination of the words jeans and leggings, and it is also replaced in the UK or Australia with the word 'treggings' becasue the word 'trousers' is more commonly used. In America, the new style is commonly called 'jean leggings', but a name change is in the foreseeable future. The trend first gained notice when it was first sold in Britain at Top Shop and ASOS . Now in America the style can be seen along with other interesting styles of leggings at American Apparel to the thrift mall chain Charlotte Russe.
