How do you mean? I didn't really describe brostep.
Maybe I didn't make my point well enough... basically, the people that are getting into the club scene via EDM and Brostep over the last 4 or 5 years would've been idolising the "Superstar DJs" like Tall Paul in 1998. It's dance music for beginners. A lot of the ones that are still into it when they're 25 will probably graduate to more complex/interesting sounds.
I just mean the position it holds. Most people aren't trying to go out to that kind of stuff. At least not anymore imo.
Perhaps it may be more of a thing in the suburban parts of the US and Canada, but in my experience it's a pretty marginal form of 'internet' music. Kind of like a meme really.

Tbh, most people I know can't stand going out to nights and hearing that. Pretty much died off with smoking weed in abandoned caravans.
As someone who used to promote alot of brostep shows, I think Magma is spot on tbh.
When I was 15, all the older kids who were going out just to get fucked up were all on ATB, Oakenfold and Tiesto kind of shit. When I was 18 and able to go out, it was Wolfgang Gardner and etc. A few years later it was brostep.
Maybe it's just a change in time.
Most people just wanna take mdma and/or get drunk and listen to house music, at least from what I've seen. This is me now, 18 years old.

Things are obviously constantly in flux... every year going through school will have its own leanings... Brostep is a few years gone, Electrohouse came before and the bizarre bastard-child EDM after... Trance was just the first one I remember... by-numbers House would work just as well if that's where things are heading.
You'll know it's the "one" when the popstars start over-using the sound forcing the aging kids to move on and the kids on the come-up to come-up on something else... 2 or 3 years ago you couldn't move for the Britneys and Gagas with their "filthy dub breakdowns" which probably put paid to Brostep's appeal pretty quickly.... just the same as Victoria Beckham trying to hop onto the last death rattles of Garage or East 17 releasing House of Love.

Remember a story from some DJ I heard years ago that he'd been booked to play some Spice Girls fashion style party. He played Spiller - Groovejet, and all five of them came marching up to him, called him a tnuc and told him he'd never be booked by them or anyone from their group again.
He'd forgotten that Spiller had come out of pretty much nowhere to swipe the number one spot from Posh's debut solo track a few weeks before.

Wow. Can't believe people in the charts take it so personally tbh. They really must have no idea of how music works lol

They knew exactly how it worked, it knocked a 0 off their annual bank balance.

That doesn't even make sense. Just means that there was a period of time in which the other record sold more than hers did.
Just don't get how you could take it that personally if you actually enjoy music tbh.
People like that have no business getting involved with music imo.

I think Posh was/is still the only one of them to not have a UK number one.

Pretty sure the others don't like her anyway
Surely Bunton hasn't had a no1?

If one of them has a number one they all got a slice, Posh gets a number one, then the others agent's get a call for them to do a daytime TV appearance to discuss it, they will then use that opportunity to peddle more shit.
