is it brostep?

yeah fair dos. i guess one's tolerance for this kind of shit drops exponentially once you hit 18.

i need to find whatever it is i said about not caring for house anymore and take it back
out to a shed and kill it
that was wrong
so
wrong

also is this bro or yankee grime or just rap or what

Could Night Slugs possibly be considered brostep? I really want to like this song but I'm wary of how catchy it is. I'm on the horns of the hipster dilemma.

Yes, Merdeyeux. We were at the same thing.

I know Hessle Audio isn't really anything like this stuff, I was talking more about the vibe of this night, which Merdeyeux adequately described.

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

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.

^nice brostep, bro

xp

was assuming night slugs was a joke

- 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.

(sorry about typos - i have stupid hands)

is the Nero - Welcome Reality album brostep or is it too smart to be brostep or what is the deal?

It's brostep.

but poppy brostep.

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

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
