noisy for noisy sake"…couldn’t have said it better. I went to a dubstep nite here in portland recently and didn’t hear a single break for over an hour. IMO the hard parts of dubstep really lose their effect when there’s nothing to compare them to. ---

actually not at all. he basically took responsibility for starting it and just thought its gotten out of hand. ---

Yeah I really liked Rusko’s sound like a couple of years back but i’d say after Subfocus remixed “Hold On” the whole genre kinda lost the plot… I think Brostep has a place in the scene but it should be used sparingly in a mix. ---

I think Dubstep has just got more heavy and filthy cuz everyone wants to push it to the limit. I think that limit has just about been maxed out now with all the “brostep” and like he says he is trying to make more melodic stuff now. I think a lot of Dubstep artist are going to have to work to make the music more diverse now that the filth limit has been over exceeded if that makes any sense at all. Personally if I add a track to my Dubstep collection I look for more then just a filthy bass line that melts your face off. I think every Dubstep song needs to feel as if its a musical journey not just a copy paste of the Dubstep track that played before it. ---

I personally dont see why so many people hate on “brostep”? And “brostep”? Really…? I cant wait until people wake up and realize that genre’s are like mullets. There is no place for them now or in the future… No more genre’s only Tempo’s! ---

Music is in an endless evolution/ all of the little parts of popular songs that people in the masses enjoy/ are exacerbated and abused because those are all of the favorite parts and that is how sub genre’s are created/ mimicry is the highest form of flattery/ look at the brittany spears dubstep track! Underground either becomes top 40 or go the other way and become even deeper underground skrillex - “The more top 40 underground becomes, the more the underground is going to change.” We are lucky enough to witness a major leap in the way music is being produced/recored/preformed/ and marketed. Genre’s are spinning off sub genre’s into the abyss … Enjoy people… This topic and ones like it will not be going anywhere / they will be coming in stronger and stronger droves And btw/ datsik and excision are from my home town / and we all love the durty Shiz out here… jus sayin [Next page](https://forum.djtechtools.com/t/rusko-speaks-out-about-brostep/19356.md?page=2)
