I always get confused about the different sub-genres of Reggae. Dub is especially confusing because it was derived from Roots Reggae instrumentals yet I always see Dub listed as one of the genres under certain kinds of music which are not similar at all to Reggae. My current understanding is that Dub is essentially electronic Reggae with lots of reverb. Anyway, is Dub just the general term for music that consists of samples stitched together from any genre or is it only associated with Reggae?

Analog delay. "Dub" used to mean "copy"...and they would take clips and loop/echo them.
