Our understanding, well I know particularly my understanding, of music in the broadest sense and furthermore the "status quo" of music has changed dramatically with the availability of technology and versatility of the internet.
A musical instrument as a piano, violin, guitar, or flute can produce a wide variety of music and certainly this music may be pleasing to the ear or regarding as a brilliant composition and execution. However, a musical instrument can only go so far and in the most critical eyes these musical instruments are obsolete. Computer science has evolved to create many programs for creating music electronically. Furthermore, the versatility of these programs has greatly increased as more and more people have become involved with the creation of electronic music. Programs as Ableton Live and Fruity Loops can manipulate sound in almost every way imaginable giving lee way for these new styles to arise. This broadening of what a producer can do within a program evidently evolves all styles and creates new ones.
Dubstep is something that I have taken much interest in being of it's deviant nature to traditional music. Especially foreign dubstep being produced out of Russia, Ukraine, Belgium, Netherlands, and Japan harnesses sounds that are so far evolved from what we used to define from music. It is psychedelic music to the fullest and puts forth sounds we didn't imagine existed, especially in music.
Our connection to these new art forms in a neurological sense is something that hasn't yet been explored by scientific research to my knowledge but I hypothesize that sounds produced by these new music forms activate neurons and neurological functions in ways other music can't. For example, a lot of these heavy basslines have much depth and substance to them. The sounds are more complete in the aspects of physical science and it surpasses music of former generations that didn't think as radically creative as the ones whom have produced these new art forms.
