This whole 'brostep" thing is really starting to do my head in because it seems that most of the tracks are just a terribly produced regurgitation of what excision & datsik have going on, yet it somehow manages to become so popular that when you search dubstep on youtube mt eden comes up
WTF IS GOING ON!!!
Positive aspects to focus on:
1.for some people brostep will be their gateway to the more original dubstep.
2.the stage is set for some kind of dubstep messiah to appear, make the breakthrough to the charts & unite brosteppas and underground heads alike.
3.a song can only be so filthy before it's just noise, so it has to come to a dead-end & become stale at some point right?
Right, I like your thinking.
My first dubstep tune was brostep, but now I listen to the original musik.

when i go to local dubstep gigs, usually there's no way of telling what style of dubstep they are going to play. 99.99% of the time it's some OTT screeching-synth brostep shit, hence i am forced to listen and dance to it & hence my feeling that dubstep is being commandeered by the pop scene
this. was nothing before it anywhere near its insanity (atleast in terms of wobble based musics)
Haven't listened to this in fucking yeaaaaaaaaars! Total tune.
For me, brostep came from Spongebob but Spongebob still holds some integrity, unlike a lot of music made today which is nothing more than musical fodder.
I actually think that it's extremely hard to understand and enjoy the deeper, minimal sounds of the genre right away if you didn't come from a dub/minimal techno/trip hop background. I don't think that it's impossible to like them in that case, I just believe it takes a lot more time to get used to them. And a lot of newer followers of the genre crossed over from indie/alt. rock/hiphop/metal so they pick what's more familiar to them, and that is, of course, brostep. It also depends on the quality of the EDM scene in general. Of course you're gonna have more understanding for innovative sounds in London in which clubbing is a part of everyday life, than in, for example some larger city in the US, where they just started taking electronic music semi-seriously. So if you take something made in London and put it somewhere else, it will take a completely different form.
