Dubstep has permeated pop pretty well - just listen to the heavy sub-bassline and skippy drums in Pass Out. So you already know more about dubstep than you thought you did!
(This is a bit like one of those many French lessons in which Mlle. Parente tried to convince us that we could speak French: "Oui mes filles, you can speak already the French - do you not say rendez-vous, entente cordiale, croissant, patisserie, tete-a-tete, et bete noir?!". Sadly, the only one of those I had ever heard of was the croissant, and I knew that it was pronounced crow-saint. That's how they said it in the shop. To this day I do not speak French in public, or in France.)
Anyways, back to dubstep. You are indubitably more familiar with dubstep than I was with French, and best of all, there's no homework. So the next track is the one that started all the commotion: this got played on Radio 1 in 2005 and pushed dubstep into the mainstream.
It's not conjunctivitis-catchy, but listen to it three times and you'll be yearning for it again. This one's got a bit of a lighter touch than the last track, it's not so heavy on the bass.

Oh, and it has a gun being cocked back and shot in the middle. I think that's a de facto brap
