Allow me to play devil's advocate here in saying that usually these artists appeal to people who already have a predisposition to tech house and techno. Most people that listen to brostep prefer it simply because of the noises we usually find grating and obtrusive (though the lack of creativity in that particular phylum is not debatable). Most of us (myself uncluded) prefer artists like Shackleton, Martyn, Peverlist and the like because there's plenty of elements in their tracks that are incredibly similar to genres we already like.

How disappointing... that song is NICE.

For sure, but I also like them cuz of their closeness to the tripped out patterns of IDM. It's fun to mix the two together, and their brand of dubstep keeps the mix steady.

Moderat - Rusty Nails (T++ Remix) <- this is the style I've been dreaming about for a while, I would really wanna make a set with this kinda sound, and the stuff on Skull Disco comes close.

EDIT: i'm wondering, does anyone have an example of a nice brostep track?

maybe this?:

No doubt.

Here's a complimentary free sample of a good dubstep track for you guys:

Exactly my point though

We like that dubstep predominantly because it resembles genres we already like. Most people that like brostep aren't privy to techno, house, idm, and all the other riffraff. I've noticed that many of these artists (Martyn, Mala, Peverlist) produce tracks that sound eerily similar as far as elements and structure go.

The two types of dubstep really aren't all too dissimilar imo, and usually the fact that someone likes a certain variety of dubstep has to do with their musical predisposition (not to say there aren't exceptions to the rule).

That's not Brostep

This is Brostep



Well the first one is more of a joke track, I guess this is more like "real Brostep" (the highs give you headache but thats another thing)



Or mean just a track with nice wobbles? (But this is way too good to be called Brostep)

Maybe this? Classifies as Brostep IMO and I think the wobbles in this track are cool

What is this? Cause i want more dubstep like this!

That Mala - Alicia track is great, until I listened to the original Alicia Keys interlude and then it just didn't do it for me.

I don't see what your point has to do with anything. The question Osterzone asked is what the deeper/techy/whatever stuff has to do with dubstep. Whatever the reasons why people like it, that stuff is still dubstep. It's probably closer to the original deep, trippy, dubby sounds of the genre than the diluted mid-range wobble-shite that people associate with the term these days.
