I heaven't heard anything Tobin has done since 2007 or so but yeah I doubt he should be tagged with that, though I'd have to actually listen to his newest stuff to be sure.

I believe it had to do with the use of actual electronic effects but I'm not entirely sure.
Nah, I'm not saying he IS being tagged that I'm just saying I don't want to know what term people could come up with for Tobin's music when he himself already refuses giving his music any tags. Even with his more straight forward stuff under the Two Fingers moniker.

What makes something dubstep and not just 2 step garage?
Well since dubstep is a hybrid of 2-step garage and dub, obviously having dub elements makes something closer to dubstep. It's usually most obvious in traditional dubstep basslines, but a lot of dubstep stuff has that whole dub reggae aesthetic as well. A lot of digital mystikz stuff does that

And the big deep dub basslines are all over the place. But that crazy shuffling percussion is more garage-rooted (you'd never hear percussion like that in a dub track).
But for more garagey stuff, take Untrue for example:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDblKjCIRjI
The percussion is obviously taken from 2-step, but the big swelling basslines and dark urban aesthetic isn't something you see in 2-step, which is more commonly aimed at the dancefloor vs. the head-nodding introspective style of dubstep. It isn't always black and white though, and dubstep has obviously evolved to become its own thing, so it isn't quite just dub + 2-step = dubstep anymore, but that IS how the roots of the genre were formed.

'I've never fully understood the dub part in dubstep though.'
I think you need to listen to some dub then
May I suggest Lee 'Scratch' Perry's Arkology compilation?

Might listen maybe
The reason and Leaving came together last minute. I made Leaving in my hotel room in mexico and just finished the Reason an hour ago in my hotel room in miami.
Wouldn't be at all surprised if he goes back to the wubs cos this possibly seems more of a small detour than a major shift in direction

"Brostep is already dying"
Maybe.
"and Sonny knows it"
Doesn't mean he's going to stop doing it.

This isn't dubstep fool. At MOST it's drumstep but it's more techno than anything

Yeh that Skrillex track is awful - the guy obviously does not understand what he's trying to imitate.
Back to "Future Garage": from my understanding it isn't a dubstep-specific term, more a general description of more forward thinking urban electronic music. Basically it helps connect a singular style that may be present in many separate genres already (so dubstep, garage etc.).

Both terms especially FG have been adopted by a lot of people who aren't necessarily trying to look clever, but just actually think those are different things. FG has been adopted pretty heavily actually, but it's usually just forward-thinking dubstep. It's usually the more layered atmospheric stuff (burial, clubroot, swarms, etc.) that leans a bit more to the garage side.
This isn't actually correct

Neither is this (and what do you mean by strictly "urban" music?)
It's a term coined by Whistla, the guy who runs L2S records. And he created it as a way to describe the garage music that he and his crew were making - specifically that full blooded garage music was being made again, seeing as how the genre died a pretty boring death at the turn of the century. The controversy surrounding the tag was that "if you're making garage music, then it's garage, What's so "futuristic" about it? The response was that it's "atmospheric" garage music. Think:

Sure thats how it started but its still used to describe way more than that. I see that term tossed onto more dubstep releases than the term dubstep lately.

Yeah but as we all know, most people don't really know anything. People might use it to describe other stuff, but that's what it is and why it was created
