Definitely. That is a valid point. If you had a history of saying that harder music was "disposable" and then, say for instance, posted a video of yourself and all your friends getting down to "disposable" shit... well, there'd be egg all over your face though right?

Lovin some 611step btw... in all of it's grimey, "disposable" glory. I disposed of mad sweat and body fat on the dancefloor brocking out to the last Starkey b2b Dev79 gig I caught.

I wonder if people who make ketamine references, when talking about harder shit... have they ever DONE ketamine? Not exactly conducive to Rusko b2b Caspa b2b Reso is it? If anything, I'd want Shackleton tunes and a warm blanket to lay in a fucking corner in a coma.

I wouldn't know... I can't afford it because I don't write brostep tracks. I'm reduced to nodding my head in the corner of the club, sniffing Sharpie markers really hard.

Sounds like you're a cracked copy of Reason away from writing Brostep tunes then.

This could be the beginning of a beautiful bromance... especially after I decapitate you and have sex with your dead neckhole. Necbromancer status.

[parson]

ok now i'm afraid.

[seckle]

i am seriously considering reading this entire thread

haha. let me sum it up for you man so you don't waste your time.

some people are upset about other people's music.
others are upset that what they thought was their own personal scene are realizing that it's not.
then others are upset that their scene is changing... and it makes them uneasy.
however, others are embracing a change and favor diversity in their scene.
then others embrace certain aspects of the change and hate on others.
but those folks aren't sure if their thoughts are what others would want to see on the Internet.
some are indecisive... they're not quite sure how they feel about this music.

i'm just the messenger.

and people are taking this forum WAY too seriously, if they're upset or worried about what's being said in this thread in the bigger scheme of things. this site is like 1/40th of the size of the larger audience in this sound right now. most of the general public don't care, and don't read forums like this.

artists who knowingly replicate (or rip off) popular artists because they think they can glom on to some of the fame and success which somebody else was responsible for originating. This is where audio loses its originality, when artists try to sound like the best seller because the desire to make money supercedes the desire to create something new. When people start legitimizing the copycat stuff is when a genre starts to become inbred.

+1.

this is the temptation right now in this sound, because its buzzin in the media at the moment. people see the bigger names all flying around the world, and they want in. fair enough. this is the nature of music. everyone wants in, wants to build things. thats standard. the difference in 2009...are people building something uniquely theirs? can half of the producers breaking into this sound these days say that? that they have something no one else has?
we're at a EXTREMELY competitive moment in this scene, and its important and healthy to step away from what you're doing and see how it fit's into the bigger picture. around 2005/2006, loefah's sound was horribly replicated by a large amount of producers that were making halfstep beats to try and replicate the buzz around dmz. the results were poor. shocking even!. anybody around back then will tell you this.

lets take this theory out of this scene, and lets put it to dnb for example. dylan, tech itch and to a degree Kemal....around 1999-2002 were (debatably) the leaders of the harder/riff centered dnb strains. they sort of built a crew around that sound. they pioneered it. some of it was good too. anybody that knows their dnb, knows the first time they heard "the legend", "rukus". these were tunes that sounded like nothing else when they came out. singular visions. pioneering visions.
then from about 2002-2005, dozens and dozens of producers jumped in on their idea as it was buzzin then, and within a year it turned into a formula. dark evil damian samples, power riffs, the whole...dut-dut-dut-dut-duttt-duttttt...DROP. thing...all of that. tune after tune using the exact structures and sound palette. a formula....point A to point B. no explorations, no experimenting. no pioneering idea. cul de sac.

I got a fever, and the only prescription is 2 and a half hours of PURE BROSTEP.

Fortunately, Doctor J just fulfilled that prescription.

lawl. It's up now btw. This sorta grew from chatroom discussion of this very thread.

Since it wasn't planned, it's not exactly the definitive brostep mix; there were a few tunes I woulda added otherwise. (More Richie August, for example. No disrespect intended to the King!)

Oh what am I saying, that's hardly proper brosteppin' swagitude is it...ok um, it's the "Dubstep Warz" of brostep, woo! Don't not disallow it brohan!
