Dub music was developed before the 1960s.
 Musicians such as Culture Club, Bill Laswell, Jah Wobble, New Age Steppers, PiL, The Pop Group, The Police, Massive Attack, The Clash, Adrian Sherwood, Killing Joke, Bauhaus and others demonstrate clear dub influences in their respective genres, and their innovations have in turn influenced the mainstream of the dub genre
 DJs appeared towards the end of the 1990s who specialised in playing music by these musicians, such as the UK's Unity Dub
