Brostep is a relatively new sub-genre of music (born out of Dubstep micro-genre) which has no emphasis on soul.

The goal appears to be to produce music as fast as you possibly can, without placing any emphasis on quality.

well skrillex is originally from that camp and there is quite a bit of scene crossover - especially out here in the midwest. but to be fair hardcore/pop punk crossover is a pretty old genre that is still very popular

this korn is hilarious! I loved their first two albums when I was 12 years old.

haha i didn't come up with that. i just love playing with labels

but actually my experience of that music is not really as 'broish' as 'alt-bro' or 'brohemian' as i say. even then i feel like its more just the younger set of misanthropic suburban faux subaltern youth feeding it... then again, maybe i'm old and out of touch.

Well I feel like dubstep is the 'new' electroclash in that it seems to be the electropop/electronic music of choice for the indie rock kids. also definitely witch house and ghetto gothic, but there are some similarities between those sounds and dubstep too.

all im saying is many the kids who i know who were late comers into all that electroclash stuff found 'dub' as they call it, and they're the ones posting about skrillex all the time on my FB feed.


definitely has more in common with thrash and metalcore though.

and ninendocore

Wikipedia is the same as 10 or so people making a flash program.

Only the final say is controlled by the wikipedia moderators, don't get me wrong they do a good job, but still, I don't see why a small amount of effort (by people who already have a lot of knowledge anyway) is such a giant waste of time?

I know lots of people who still use ishkurs guide above anything else (foolishly, but it wouldn't be as foolish if there was a newer/more accurate version)

I think the track is awesome, but I produce and like electro house/dubstep.

Originally posted by darin epsilon For me personally, I think dubstep and metal surprisingly go hand in hand.

What? I thought it has long been determined that dubstep (specifically brostep) is nothing more than electronic heavy metal/screamo

loloollololololollo @ "brohemian"

hmm also interesting. dubstep till seems like a bit of a joke for most indie rock people in my area. "witch house" stuff is taken a lot more seriously, thankfully without the unfortunate genre name ... like you say there are some similar sounds but there is a massive difference between a dj playing dubstep bangers and some of the better new electropop acts, especially from the perspective of an indie rock audience
