Fair enough, but you do have to understand where I'm coming from. There are a lot of people who like to be Dubstep elitists, and you came off as one. I stand corrected if that was a false assessment.

Either way, I think that "brostep" has just as much claim to call itself Dubstep as any other flavor, and I guess that's where we differ. The funny thing is that when Dubstep was invented it was some people messing around with 2 step garage and seeing where they could take it. Electronic music is all about taking what's out there and pushing it to the next level. And then after that you push it again and again, and before you know it you have so many offshoot styles it will blow your mind.

The way I look at it, Dubstep is what house was back in the day. It's still relatively new and it's just now creating all these crazy offshoots that no one ever imagined. But you know what? You still call a lot of different music at around 120bpm with a four on the floor beat house music. Just because electro is off the wall compared to disco house, doesn't make it any less house. And that's how I see all this new Dubstep. It's still Dubstep, whatever you want to say about it. Look at any genre. Drum and Bass is still Drum and Bass whether it has off the wall jump up wobbles or deep violins. Think about it.

Yeah, as much as i hate to admit it you are right about that.

It's just an absolute /facepalm when i see videos like in this thread http://dubstepforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=234574 (Yeah i know they're australian but its pretty much the same everywhere) and then i have to corncry myself to sleep at night over the sheer volume of idiots :corncry: :corncry: :corncry: :corncry:

This is solid work man I really enjoyed it, brostep or not the skill is there for sure. Really cool bass-synths in there as well!
