Child's Toy Dubstep.

I laughed w-a-a-a-a-y too long at his.

It's a very vaguely defined genre. According to Wikipedia, dubstep "generally features syncopated drum and percussion patterns with bass lines that contain prominent sub bass frequencies."

This definitely has syncopated drum and percussion. I don't think that machine can produce sub bass frequencies, but the sample he was using was probably as close as it'll get. It had the right BPM (somewhere around 140) and even contained the quintessential bass drop at around the 55 second mark of the song (32 measures in at 140 BPM).

Not saying it was good dubstep, but I think it falls within the broad category.

maybe I missed it - can someone point out the MM:SS mark that the dubstep occurs? While it seems the whole thing is electronic music, I didn't hear any actual dubstep...

Dubstep is the new rock n roll. If it meets the broadest specification and the kids are listening to it... then it is dubstep. Let us all hold a moment of reverent silence for the distinct genres subsumed by this monster.

Although I'm pretty sure "Childs Toy Electronica" is not a thing, this songs dubstep credentials could be improved and any doubt as to its catagorisation removed by the addition of a Ellie Goulding vocal track. I can't imagine it would be that hard to find a kids toy with an Ellie samples amongst the farmyard animal noises.
