Future bass is an electronic dance music genre that arose around 2006 in the United Kingdom, United States, Japan, China and Australia. It is a broad genre of music, comprising a wide variety of sounds and rhythms normally produced by a synthesizer. The genre was pioneered by Flume, Rustie, and Cashmere Cat and was popularised in the mid-2010s by artists like Mura Masa, Marshmello, BhueR, San Holo, DROELOE, Martin Garrix and Louis the Child. 2016 was seen as the breakout year for the genre.

Characteristics
Taking a lot of characteristics from dubstep, future bass is described as having a focus on a hard bassline (sometimes an 808) with detuned synthesizers, mostly sawtooth 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- or high-pass filter) or the level of the wave to adjust the waveform's volume (to create a 'wobble'). In addition, it is common to utilise a somewhat "twinkly"-sounding gradual rise in pitch during "risers" (pre-drop buildups of white noise), and arpeggio chords, vocal chops or vocoders.

Subgenres
Due to its popularity, future bass has spawned a few subgenres:
Future trap
Future trap is a fusion between future bass and trap (which often features hard trap drops as opposed to often synth-laden future bass drops). DROELOE, RL Grime, Flux Pavilion and other producers have produced tracks of this subgenre.
J-future core
J-future core blends hardcore with the melodic content and sound design characteristics of future bass. It has been recognised as a genre among Japanese electronic music producers on SoundCloud since the release of a future core compilation album in early-mid 2017.
