For me it's the interaction between the percussion and the low end .

Dubstep is combining sub bass, ambiance, and experimental drums to create an alternative form of electronic music that seperates itself from the metallic mainstream scene of EDM today.
just pulled that out of my arse.

Bass led music at around 140 bpm, with a half time drum rhythm.

If it's crazy noises and has that kick on the 1, Snare on the 3 drum pattern, it's dubstep. If it has that swingy drum beat with the very mellow lead and heavy sub bass, it's dubstep.
My dad asked me what Dubstep was when I told him I produced it, and I really didn't know what to tell him.

Bass + Space
This seems like the most fitting description I can come up with

Subbass and drums at a slow/moderate tempo; around 130-150, 65-75. Speed the tempo up and you have drum & bass.

This. The subsonic frequencies should drive and take control of the song.

Lol, really useful description that.
I never get the idea that dubstep is inherently experimental or diverse.
This sounds about right to me
