Future bass is a music genre^[1] that arose around 2006 in the United Kingdom, United States, Japan, and Australia. It is a broad genre of music, offering a wide variety of sounds and rhythms normally produced by a synthesizer.

Characteristics

Future bass is described as having a focus on a hard bassline with detuned synthesizers mostly including sawtooth waves and square waves. The sound waves are often modulated using automation or low-frequency oscillation controlling the cutoff of an audio filter (typically a low pass or high pass filter) making the waveform sound louder or quieter. In addition, it is common to find the utilization of a sort of "twinkly" sounding rise (gradual rise in pitch), including arpeggio chords, and vocoders.

The future bass genre stems from trap, juke and UK garage. It is related to the post-dubstep movement in the United Kingdom. It is comparable to chiptune and glitch hop.
