Basement - Metal/Dubstep/Drum&Bass/Alternative

Where's the dubstep/drum'n'bass elements? The clap sound and really weak synth cant contribute to that. Just sounded metal-ish to me.
 
What is that high pitched hum? That really cuts through the mix and just sounds like something's making noise in your signal chain?

I can hear where he went for the dubstep thing, Rockonin. It's around 0:50 when the snare builds to the drop. The slow kick snare pattern is dubsteppy, but the rest of the drop sounds more like metalcore. I didn't hear anything I'd consider DnB. Granted I'm not an expert, but I get the sneaking suspicion that a lot of people just group DnB and dubstep together because they're both trendy, "heavy" electronica.

I got a little tired of the incessant crash cymbals throughout.

It seems like you've built a decent baseline* for a song, but there isn't really a hook or lead instrument for it to support.

Otherwise, my only mix critiques are that hum I mentioned before and the fact that YouTube's audio compression isn't great. You'd be better served hosting it elsewhere.


* note: not "bassline". I meant what a wrote in case anyone gets confused.
