Brostep, your thoughts?

[Ed Paris]

Can any1 please put any good dubstep and brostep tracks to compare? Dont know that much about dubstep and around here they dont play it that much...

Also, BROstep? I kinda like the "electro mixed with dubstep" but BROstep?

What comes to mind about what a bro is is this:



And disturbingly this:

Upon hearing the brostep it reminded me a lot of drumstep but with slower snare/hihat...

Still some sort of dubwhatever mix can be made and see how people here react to it.

I'm not understanding what you are saying. Are you asking for a dubstep mix?

[Quenepas]

That I would incorporate 4-5 dubstep songs into a set to see how people react to it. See if people like it. Sorry for my shitty english, it isnt my main language

The consensus here is that is pretty popular. Still over here it's all about the drum and bass and some flavors of house and techno. TO my knowledge they havent brought any dubstep DJs and it would be interesting if it catches on.

This is tomorrow. It gives you a fairly solid view of what people here like from EDM.

Brostep is such a shit term...Its only used by people who are failures in music.....Looking at this im probably gonna have absolute grief...

Oh well

Just fir the record i aint associated with "brostep" lol i just think its an absolute ridiculous term

The only people who use the term are people who listen to "deep" dubstep and are "heads"..But dont know about Log On Rmx by Horsepower

Everyone asking, Brostep is a gay dating agency..

I cant wait for all the "heads" to get envolved...."we only like tunes that sound like mala but are nowhere near as good"

the thing is the people moaning are breading stuff they dont understand #theirirrelivant stop begging Madslinky

its cool to get envolved when its popular but you werent there when there was shows at Plastic People and it was only producers there

struggle sounds drastic, but it kinda was

This is a ignorant div http://dubstepforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=188935 *[this is a dead link]*

There was never a definition for what 'dubstep' was...And now there seems to be.....

the thing that annoys me is....the comments "It was better in 03/04/05" You want there ya div!

Im not cussing DSF, thats a very important part to the growth of the scene..

These people who chant "Deep Dubstep" are like Trustafarians [urban dictionary: rich white pot smokers]..FAKE

I failed at every subject at school...I will never fail in a "Dubstep" debate..Its my life

Everyone saying it shouldn't get to me..Do you not realise this music has been my life since i was like 14/15?

[someone else] @harryLVP to be fair..Its actually irrelevant where it came from nowadays.Youve got 16/17 year old students who dont care about the history

[at the time of this my typing this, the last tweet was 4 minutes ago. im not a twitter user, so im not really going to update this]

[theory28]

what he seems to be saying is that its all dubstep and that 'brostep' is a term that shouldnt exist.

however, you still have to have respect to the older stuff that isnt called 'brostep'

but you dont need to know the genres history.

i dont know, that seems to conflict with its self a bit, and he's somewhat drunk, so take it as you will.

[Bassline Brine]

I think it's all a matter of personal taste. Dubstep by far is my favorite genre. And, there's parts of it that I absolutely hate, while some I can't get enough of. And I feel that's pretty true with any genre.

The thing about Dubstep/Brostep right now, is it's crossing a lot of boundaries into scenes that aren't usually open to electronic music. I have some hip hop listening friends who will enjoy it, and I have some heavy metal friends who will enjoy it. No other genre can claim that it gets around as much at the moment.

Moral of the story:

Dubstep is a slut.

I definitely agree with him on a certain level... People can't handle the fact that music evolves, always, there's no stopping it.

That being said I could see where people would want a new term because the people stuff are calling "brostep" has it's own sound that differentiates itself from earlier dubstep. Call it a sub-genre if you will, whatever, people just like to label things.

But I do think it's kinda immature to call it "brostep," I mean c'mon it's just the kids who liked the oldschool stuff takin' a shot at the different sound, which is just dumb... theymad.

[Quenepas]

Looks like I agree with I_Skream without even knowing he existed about Brostep being a tacky and campy way to name a music genre. Not the music itself, I think it's aight, but "Brostep" sounds like something the guy from Jersey Shore would spin. Also "Brostep is a gay dating agency" hehehe

Why is I_Skream sounding so pissed about Skrillex? I mean, they even share 5 letters in their name, they should be more "bro-like"

[theory28]

watching the live shiftee inter view and i asked:

ok, so to you, what defines brostep? this has been a hot topic everywhere. do you think its ruining dubstep, making it bigger, or is it becoming its own thing

he replied (i was typing as he talked, so i paraphrased slightly):

"i think it connected to the other kinds of dubstep. its kind of becoming its own thing. its filling the open space and its filling all the frequencies. i dont think its ruining dubstep. if you go to shows and you see the crowd they go crazy. ive been at some shows where the line up is someone who plays harder stuff and it sounds wimpy. alot of the fans are younger people and its cool that they are going to grow up with it."
