The Dubstep Gun is a legendary piece of internet and gaming history that gained massive recognition following its inclusion as a signature weapon in the 2013 game Saints Row IV. Long before the game, the concept was popularized by viral YouTube videos, most notably by Corridor Digital in 2011, which depicted individuals engaged in urban combat using firearms that fired synchronized bass drops. The meme represents the overwhelming power of electronic dance music, specifically dubstep's aggressive 'wubs,' which are often depicted as having a physical, destructive, or trance-inducing impact on the surrounding environment. It is frequently used to mock the intensity of EDM fans or to visually represent the moment a heavy bass line hits in a song.
