is it brostep?

that non-boring dubstep was post-dubstep before dubstep was brostep? could chuck wood.

now i get it

is there not non-boring dubstep that is neither bro-step nor post-dubstep? what about stuff like youngsta or distance?

i dunno, maybe stuff like horsepower productions or king midas sound?

Sully's album's worth a spin, although that's going into more 2-step revival territory. The new Zomby is surprisingly dancey and non-crazy

What about Various

bro

Haha I called a track I made 'Brodiestep' the other day.

xpost I'm wubbing it wubbing it wubbing it I'm wubbing it like this

shit is blowing up in my little corner of the world. my 13yo cousin is listening to skrillex. two co-workers have asked me in the last day for dubstep recommendations. i'm not sure if they actually want dubstep or if "dubstep" is the new "techno".

mexican kids at my school were jerking to dubstep today. they are dressed like the kids in jerk videos from LA except they have candy raver bracelets on their arms. one of them had "JERK 4 LIFE" and "M F DUB STEP" written on his hands

sorry, i should've said hispanic kids, they're not from mexico

"i'm not sure if they actually want dubstep or if "dubstep" is the new "techno"."

someone came in my store today and asked me i had a "dub or dubstep" section. so apparently dubstep is all things to all people.

it's all just a dub
bro

sign outside bar near my place:

"no cover, no lineup, no dubstep"

skrillex was the vocalist for from first to last

i keep a mental tally of musicians that went from punk/hardcore to dubious/bad edm

- steve aoki was in this machine kills, good emocore, i liked them i mean they had a split with yaphet kotto and envy
- skrillex
- dave nada (coincidentally about to tour with skrillex, solo dj, member of nadastrom and coiner of moombahton) - bassist? in de nada, thrashy dc punk in the 90's, also good

lol i heard a dubstep remix by true tiger of that punjabi mc song. it started off as normal, the broke down before it would usually get going, and went into some metallic staggered version of the song. i like this stuff just cos its funny and i like how generic and brainless it is but i just forget it all instantly. at least the older OG brosteppas (SALUTE) had more attitude and darkness in what they were doing.

Hessle Audio is way too interested in rhythm soft to be brostep.

Whoa, I thought this was just an ILM joke name initially.

sad day for music when the brostep forum no longer exists

"known as hard and horny raw dong music for sweaty males to “bro out” to,

[to whom?]

"You can't put a fuckin' timeline on it," (Diplo) continues, "but what Skrillex does, it's really grassroots, man. The energy here at this stage is, like, 40 times bigger than what (David) Guetta 
has right now."

does diplo write for freakytrigger now

needs the magazine cover for full impact

sweet fucking christ

good on tiesto for staying relevant, huh

http://www.spin.com/sites/spin.com/files/110912-skrillex-6.png

yessss

See Skrillex perform and you understand why Deadmau5 -- the genre's most spectacular, or at least recognizable, act -- has anointed him with his magic mouse pheromones

hahaha

i really need to know what units stage energy is measured in

haha that article has the word 'brostep' in it

how the fuck is this article written by philip sherburne? I really hope this is a ridiculously edited online version!

if not, um... how do we summon him to thread?

this is a good idea for a cover story imo, tho it seems weird to lump tiesto in there, and maybe even justice

I liked the article but yeah the point might be better made if the piece were more Skrillex/Deadmau5/new faces and less Diplo/Tiesto

I went and listened to Skrillex's big hit. Y'know, for research. It's really bad.

yeah listening to it now... the central riff is pretty good imo but all the heavy bass dupstep stuff is terrible -- it could've been a great house song! oh well

It's like, you Google 'DJ,' (Tiesto) what comes up, y'know?"

psh no i just did this and spooky came up. and some news/realtime for medhi.

kind of reads like a "let's mention everything dance music-wise that sells in the US and order it by popularity and just kind of splat it all on the page with anecdotes to add minimal context"

assuming it has features/interviews with each of the mentioned artists on the cover?

how the fuck is dj spooky that subliminal kid on the first page of google results for "dj"?

Ha ha, I feel totally the opposite, like I'm down with the wub wub noisy bassline part and I just cannot deal with the Auto-Tune "melody" part-

but maybe this is the key to his popularity, the having-it-both-ways thing is supposed to mean "something for everyone"? mostly I get a strong junkfood feeling that makes me want to turn it off- I mean if I wanted harsh bassy stuff then I would go for Taciturne, Vex'd, DJ Scud, old breakcore stuff, or like stuff with good sound design like Errorsmith or Emptyset. This is just not for me. But don't the kids just love it . . .

you may have missed this key element: [Magazine Excerpt]

also these parts:

(see SPIN magazine's "Electric Mayhem," page 54)
(see "Second Coming," page 64)

excerpt usually means part of an actual article, as in.. this is an actual article that is truncated, usually not condensed

also neither of those (see) sections directly references a feature directly on any single artist

stage energy is measured in ergs brah

does brostep have any other tricks besides that vibrating bass butterfly thingy

that's like asking if house has tricks beside a thumping bass and smiling face
