A Dystopia is the opposite of a utopia... it is often used in literature to describe a book (usually Science Fiction) about a tragic future that is definitely not ideal. So, a post-apocalyptic story, or a story where most of the population has perished because of a freak disease would be a dystopia. It can be used to describe movies as well. Most movies where Aliens come down and start eating people or blowing things up would be dystopias. :)
It means a society characterized by human misery/ oppression /and overcrowding

Why are dystopia frequently written as science fiction?

In any story it is kind of required (but not firmly necessary) for there to be a plot. A plot requires that there be a crisis and a resolution. With a Utopian story it is difficult to have a crisis as that kind of goes against the definition of the term. In a dystopia however it come with a discord already built in and from that a crisis is easy to manufacture. Having a dystopia story automatically makes it science fiction.
