is it brostep?

i was always kinda hoping for a lenny dee/omar santana revolution in this country. alas, not to be. way better than friggin' atari teenage riot and still plenty noisy and metally and all that good stuff. i've spent many an hour watching lenny dee live sets in crummy looking hoodrat clubs around the globe. just not a strong enough network of bars/clubs/deejays to make it work/happen here.

uh, watching on youtube that is.

As someone who was pushing dubstep in 2006, all I can say is "I apologize".

crut, right, not counting electronic pop and hip hop. i'm talking about you know, far out soundzzz with no lyrics and 120 bpm

I'm pretty sure this will never happen. audience needs a narrative ie, words

There was some sort-of-brostep played between events at uh... the UFC match I went to.

damn them. granted, i should probably check out some, uh, "funky", but i never seem to want to.

You should! It's kinda like moombahton, except faster (good) and British (jury's out). Tbh, I pretty much got into it in the first place bc it had similar beats to reggaeton.

I think I am apologetically down with brastep btw:

cf mark s - "techno is novelty music"

is brostep the moment when America finally explicitly gets into "electronica"? that would be sort of hilarious to me.

Is this stuff really more popular here than Prodigy/Chem Bros/Fatboy et al were in the mid-late 90s? On its way, maybe, but Fat of the Land was a #1 album. While acknowledging that no one buys albums anymore, brostep doesn't seem quite on that level yet. It could get there tho.

there's karaoke and workout versions of "i need air" on itunes store

I'm sorry, it's been a long time since I've laughed as hard at a song as I laughed at that "ginger cunt" song. Hilarious. And not in a "so bad it's good" way, just in a fcuking LOL pathetic way.

Which? The cookie monst one?

LOL, sorry, yes. Officially called Ginger Pubes. Like I'm not going to listen to something called that, automatically.

Well, our Amb's styled herself as a 'ging defender' so..

some dude at work who listened mostly to awful barf-rock like Nickelback and Seether and dopey novelty stuff like "I'm a Barbie Girl" blasted "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" one day. When I asked him about it, he just epcalled it 'dubstep.'

I had no idea that dubstep was going mainstream here, so I was a little impressed.

my coworkers won't shut up about turntable and mention dubstep a lot. im the other day:

how goes? I'm trying to pin down the genre of an artist, he goes by "Burial" -- electronic artist from the UK, have you by chance heard of him?
Wiki says his genre is "ambient, dubstep, house" among other things, hard to pin down -- so was just curious.

i generally just keep quiet and act like i just listen to salsa.

Urgent and key question in this debate, what sort of profile do PENDULUM have in the US? Because I think it is now the law that every teenage boy in the UK must immediately get massively into Pendulum the moment he turns 15. They're like the new Green Day.

Pendulum = obviously not brostep but an important marker the the development of testosterone dance.

i don't know if pendulum stick out or anything or just fade into the rest of that general WOMP WOMP d+b sect that's a precursor to all this

for me i prefer pendulum than dubstep

pendulum is the band everybody says muse is

pendulum has absolutely zero profile in the u.s., matt

i have to say though, i had a job a year or so back where copies of kerrang were always around the office, and i was both totally surprised and not surprised at all that one of the Worst DNB Acts of All-Time had transmogrified themselves into linkin park 2.0

My non-music geek, questionable taste-having best friend tried to put me up on Pendulum.

HARD STATS

every time i see 'is it brostep' i think 'will it blend' and am left wanting an irrefutable test for brostepness

They are absolutely huge here now. No music has ever sounded more like the inside of a teenage boy's bedroom.

the Pendulum link would make sense to me, I can imagine yr Kerrang metal-listening teen digging Skrillex with Pendulum being your natural point in between. But I have no idea if that metal -> brostep continuum really exists, in the UK at least. And have only heard of Skrillex through here and HRO.

there is a curious subset of punk-kids-that-into-dance-music-now that eat this up

i think it is the screamo / hardcore / crabcore fans who are already into noisy synth as it is

yeah, thinking about it the line between something like Hadouken and this stuff is practically non-existent.

anyway I love this thread because I always find this kind of overwhelmingly obnoxious music hilarious for some reason. See also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfgQSiLthxI

But I have no idea if that metal -> brostep continuum really exists, in the UK at least.

it defo does. i think i mentioned on some other thread but i went to school with a guy who was like king of nu-metal who is now produces "filthy" dubstep and seems to actually make a living from it:
