Most people who follow dubstep will have known that Britney was dabbling with the genre but it’s all kicked off today with her new single Hold It Against Me premiering on YouTube

It’s all over Twitter and Facebook with the majority of people not feeling it. Her Blackout album in 2007 touched on half-step elements and having had Rusko do demos for her, there’s still no sign of an official collaboration yet, contrary to speculation.

But with this new single’s drop at two minutes, twenty two seconds, it’s fair to say she’s singing over a dubstep production.

What does it mean for the genre? Has she killed Dubstep?

Personally, the track really isn’t going to have that much of an impact on the pioneering producers’ sound over here so leave it be. Instead of saying she’s killed dubstep, which she obviously has not, just turn it off if you don’t like it.

What do you think?
