So it's obvious a lot of people on this forum hate that "brostep" artists label their selves as dubstep. It doesn't bother me at all, but I also wouldn't mind a sub genre type name for it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was told that the reason people call it brostep is because of the audience it attracts (frat type guys "bros"). Which isn't true because it attracts more metal heads than bros. Music evolves and changes a ton, which is why I don't think it necessarily NEEDS a sub genre, but if it came down to it, I don't really care. Music is music to me, I either like it or I don't, doesn't matter what genre it is. But I think someone could come up with something better than brostep.

Also as I mentioned in another thread, where would the line be drawn? Would artists such as Koan Sound, Noisia, Culprate be labeled as brostep? They all have filthy mid bassed songs, but they also have deep tracks, and very technical tracks.

inb4 hipster flaming.

I don't know what kind of "brostep" shows you're going to but Skrillex, Borgore, Excision, Datsik, 12th Planet, Bare Noize, 16 bit, Doctor P, Flux Pavilion, Zeds Dead, Skream, Benga, etc, all attrack "bros" to their shows.

Since they are they are what is popular, they're the ones defining the genre. They all attract bros. Brostep.


I get what you're saying. But at this point, there's no going back. Genres and their names are a natural evolution.

And all hinging on a semantic misunderstanding...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was told that the reason people call it brostep is because of the audience it attracts (frat type guys "bros").

Actually, in many places "bro" is just a catch-all for a guy - not necessarily a chest-bumping, popped collar greek brother, although it does suggest that the dude in quesion is a little more, um, rugged than not. But there's no implicit association with 'frat type' idiots.



Names are stupid anyway. Now let's all go listen to some #seapunk!

People started calling hardcore (punk/metal) brocore at one point, glad it didn't catch on.

@the_disconekt i don't go to any raves or electronic shows, i just like listening/making music that i like. but all of my friends listen to "brostep" and we're not the "bro" type.. but i get what you mean.

@alphacat i agree that names are stupid.

@regret i'm glad it didn't as well lol

[antipode]

I like how everyone that doesn't like brostep is a hipster.

Lets keep that word hidden in case someone tries to revive it.

Attaching 'bro' before anything seems to be the new thing.
Bro & Western.

there was a local hardcore/death metal band 4 or 5 years ago with a decent following, named "Brodown" ... they wore chicken costumes and huge cowboy hats n stuff.. and just played soul crushing breakdowns one after another
similar to the spirit of brostomp.. hence the broname

Ah man, I hate talking shit about people and that but I think you're right...

The metal shows here are more or less dead. Just full of people in supreme clothing growing mustaches and all that shit standing with their arms crossed, too cool to move, you know? haha

Saw Suffokate and King Conquer the other month and during the Suffokate set the vocalist of KC just threw down with me, he caught some guy on the face and gave him a black eye and everyone acts like there was a stabbing. No passion no more, just fashion.
