Btw, I think EDM is the genre of music that has the most sub-genres, sub-sub-genres, and so on.. It really has so much flavor and variety. I guess that's why I'm a basshead - I grew up listening to EDM. 

Hahaha I guess you've never looked too deep into metal, eh?
Thrash, speed, death, black, doom, groove, power, math, progressive, post-, melodic death, blackened death, viking, folk, celtic, glam, NWOBHM, NWOAHM, -core... etc, etc, and any combination of them all.

That pretty much sounds alien to me.  I've never really liked metal, tbh. Some sound pretty okay, especially if the guy stops growling/howling/screaming.

Not everyones cup of tea. Same with EDM. I happen to be a fan of them both

And yeah, "Darkstep" is what people who listen to brostep, call dubstep. Dubstep started out having a dark vibe, hen the electro influence made it brostep.... not so dark. Grimey, sure. but the dark vibe is LONG gone in the popular dubstep scene nowadays. 

 

Yeah, Noah D is American, you're right. I more or less said that cuz of the ratio of American electro-dubstep being so huge compared to the original dubstep vibe being held down by the UK scene.

Yea, I like the older DARK Dub Step. Skream was nice because he had nice CHerry Highs over that dark bass. There is "Dark DnB" or "Corn n Bass" which is... cool as well. Current Value is nice on a Mid  Bass Heavy can

Yea, that's what great about music, you like whatever you like! And I can enjoy DARK FILTHY GRIMEY dubstep, and nice Soft Mid heavy music

I hate Dub Step. The only type of EDM I like is Deep House. And there's where I need THAT bass!

yea i remember at the time i could tell "cult black metal" apart from "depressive black metal" just by hearing. iv left the metal scene far behind though... if were talking about bass heavy metal, i remember the technical stuff was pretty good at that. all the technical death/ match core stuff. and i agree with you on that "vocals as an instrument" thing too btw.

lol kinda sounds like Dubstep now has been split into "Dubstep" and "Happy Dubstep", kinda like Hardcore & Happy Hardcore.

Where the hell did they get the name "Brostep" from?

I have a theory....

Jersey Shore's popularity kinda made the club scene grow - I've seen it, I promote for clubs in Toronto. At the same time, it got people into new genres. But this jump up style of dubstep seems to attract a lot of electro house fans, and if you've ever been to a club that's got an electro night going, you know it's full of orange skinned Jersey Shore wannabes, and those DJs play plenty of dubstep. Skrillex, also started out making electro, not dubstep. So Skrillex is popular in the electro scene as well.

It all comes down to the crowd, and how the guys who 'rage' (since dancing to dubstep is borderline impossible) on the dancefloor, are not ravers, they're clubbers. "That was a sick track BRO" "Gimmie another jagerbomb, BRO" "BRO! GET OFF MY GIRL BRO!"

Also note that wearing ALL neon was not a big thing in the rave scene until dubstep became popular. You can tell ravers from clubbers by how much neon is going on lol.

At WEMF '12, when Bad Company was up, this group of neon clad juicehead bros came up to the front of the stage stood there for 20 second pumping their fists, turned around and watchd the crowd of junglists rinsing out, and left. This was defintely not their DJ.

anyways I'm rambling a little bit. No offense to any clubbers in here, just I noticed a trend, and it's the clubbers that go raving to Rusko who helped coin the term 'brostep'

That's an interesting story.  Personally I like many many sub-genres of EDM.  "Brostep", House, Electro House, Progressive, Trance, D&B, etc. but it is funny how EDM blew up in the states when it all started in Chicago around 30 years ago.  Hopefully people will stop calling it "Techno" now XD

Shame about Rusko, his earlier stuff was pretty good.

I tend to stay away from people that are stuck on the mainstream :P especially since Pop music is trying so hard to sound like a House track.

Rusko's DJing is top notch, won't lie, just not a fan of his selection, or style. at WEMF '11 he played his set particularly fast, around 150bpm, and it was actually danceable. But yeah, it's a shame Skrillex is the house hold dubstep name and not say... Youngsta, or Skream and Benga.

Haha It's still amusing when people say techno. I usually tell them my favourites are Mr. Oizo and Darude.
