No Night Slugs is not brostep. Jeez, some of you have never been to the suburbs in your lives have you?
In other news, people are getting confused between dubstep and the Bomfunk Mcs these days it seems:

I'd be surprised if a Bro would even consider that Pearson Sound track (which is great btw) dubstep. Friend who came round and started playing me some of the crassest buzzsaw shit was completely unmoved when I played him the Hessle comp. They're such different sounds, it's a wonder they fall under the same umbrella.

- not from the music alone, but because they're one of the few um, forward-thinking or whatev labels that have interaction with the queer community which is significantly unbrolike brok

Brostep is just post-Caspa, post-Pendulum, made-in-a-flash, just-plain-bad dubstep with not much "dub" and not a lot of step - slowed down jump up drum'n'bass with wacky samples from action movies or featuring some TV theme or 80s hit crowbarred in there somewhere.
FTR I actually have (or had?) a fair bit of time for Caspa - he was one of the first to do this kind of hard-'n'-heavy dubstep, and that's all fair enough, especially since he makes it relatively interesting from what I've heard. But now there's an increasing amount of terrible stuff - peaking this summer. It'll be like the opening chords from the Cheers theme tune "unexepctedly" interrupted by "BBBOOOOOMM-beeeerrrrrr-BOOOOOMMM-beeeerrrr-Eeeeh-eeeeh-eeeeh wouldn't you like to get awa-BOOOOOOOOMM-beeeeerrrrrrrr-eeeh-eeeh-eeeh-And they're always glad you-BOOM BOOM WHEEEEERRRRRR". Anyway, stuff like that. I don't normally get annoyed about it but it changes people's opinions of what dubstep is, and kind of makes me embarrassed to say I like dubstep these days.

is brostep still "boring dubstep" or is all dubstep boring/brostep now?

what do you think?

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

now i get it
― Kanye Borst (Kerm), Thursday, 25 August 2011 17:01 (twelve years ago) link
is there not non-boring dubstep that is neither bro-step nor post-dubstep? what about stuff like youngsta or distance?
― mr peabody (moonship journey to baja), Thursday, 25 August 2011 17:16 (twelve years ago) link
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

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
― mr peabody (moonship journey to baja), Friday, 2 September 2011 18:57 (twelve years ago) link
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.

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.

"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."
