The first wave of carpetbagging dubstep producers were mostly escaping the death of DnB, the second wave were almost all people getting out of the ass end of electrohouse.
I'm guessing Skrillex is the latter, what with the hair and the "complextro" or whatever he calls it.

I find all of this pretty fun and non threatening really, when I was 19 I liked breakcore. Could totally see myself being into Skrillex if I was 19 too.
― pattern loader, Saturday, 8 October 2011 11:23 (twelve years ago) link
i can see being 19 but i know mostly late 20's / early 30's into it. eh, breakcore's fine.

i think that's why the "brostep" label doesn't really work properly either. Aren't "bros" somewhere between jocks and hipsters in the US? See this kind of thing as a natural category for one-time nu-metal/emo kids who I believe wouldn't call each other "bro". Something like Nu-Step or Stepcore would be more appropriate, surely?

It varies by area, but the general bro stereotype is a guy who uncritically loves dumb partying with male friends and has a generally dude-oriented view of life. There are jock bros, fraternity bros, hippie bros (lots of bros at jam band shows) and so on. Music that is kind of dumb and testosterone-heavy is pretty much prime bro territory.

― Tim F, Wednesday, 12 October 2011 13:51 (twelve years ago) link
well, it's not a term (or stereotype) that gets bandied around much in the UK as it does in other places, so in that context it makes sense.

still struggling to see what the definition of hipster is today (my daily psa to kill the term already) but if it can still be applied to your typical striped-shirt, tank-top and rayban-wearing williamsburg beardo, sure a good number do. i'm under the impression that the friday night girls and boys party at webster hall is run by these types
― fauxmarc, Wednesday, 12 October 2011 14:30 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, but out-and-out hipsters (surely a dwindling breed in this climate?) would be more interested in the more leftfield side of things (James Blake and what not).
― dog latin, Wednesday, 12 October 2011 14:32 (twelve years ago) link
Mainly lurk this thread but on the edge of my seat wanting to know what an "out-and-out" hipster is. Completely earnest btw.

― dog latin, Wednesday, 12 October 2011 14:44 (twelve years ago) link
yeah i'm not sure. also lots are into both this stuff and james blake
also i do use the bro term negatively but i'm mostly joshing, my first years out of college i lived with 3 guys from different parts of ohio that did nothing but talk about the cleveland browns, one of them had no music at all bought/copied/pirated or otherwise, i learned about livin' on a prayer from the other guys via fist-pumping drunk singalongs at fratty fake irish bars, we're still best friends, did all of their weddings etc - i'll bro down but i just won't get my brostep on because it is worse than all of that other stuff combined. or i'm a baby and can't handle my faceeeeee melttinggggg

On the topic of bros...to me a "pure bro" is what you describe above. Basically if music is a part of their life it's on some classic rock tip with a dash of U2 or a few other alternative-era leftovers with no real interest in contemporary music of any kind. Indie/hipster bros are more on some "I did too many drugs at an outdoor Fleet Foxes show and I might go to Pitchfork fest one day but Bonnaroo is good for me now" game. Fans of "brostep" are more like holdovers/breakouts from the Dim Mak/Steve Aoki party-til-you-puke "hard electro" end of the spectrum. That's what I think of when I think of brostep/Skrillex/etc.

Some tracks have basically turned those saw waves into pluck-harmonic guitars. I've tried to recreate this in Reason and it's kind of tricky to get right without making a mess

the vibrato is the key, if you're talking about what i think you are.

I feel like James Blake is almost sensitive brostep. He is like a latter day sensitive indie dude in a masculine genre that bros can "be into" to get chicks.

the James Blake show i went to (to see my friends who were opening)....well, while the crowd was very straight and gross and lolcollege-looking, the bass....was....really....something else. motherfucker plays looooouuuuddd.
