I hope it's the filthy "rape-an-old-woman" dubstep version?
the best aspect of these youtube channels are the plethora of humorous comments that flood each tune.
"Oi mate this tune is so aggro that it made me punch ma nan"
It blatantly reveals the maturity levels of the average youtube viewer. It's not surprising that the majority of followers of brostep+ are teenagers in high school..
To be fair,
if someone is underage, lives in a rural town, uninfluenced by club culture, naive about record stores, etc. - youtube is a powerful tool for promoting popular music. However, uploading full length tracks (especially if they're forthcoming) only encourages users to rip songs off youtube. It's becoming more and more socially acceptable to do so, regardless of the sound quality.. This could perhaps be one reason behind this channel (and others) being shut down.
So many fresh high school graduates come to a dubstep party here in Perth expecting to hear the latest mid-range wobble-fest, and one can't help but connect the source to youtube. Don't get me wrong, I love mixing a bit of filth within a set.. The crowd loves it.. However, these 'harder' tunes are more effective if played in minority - and within a broadened range of styles. After hearing a night of deep sensual beats, most steppers usually are able to appreciate the myriad of approaches to this genre and can begin to acquire new tastes..
In my opinion, youtube has been crucial to the existence of the global dubstep phenomena whether you want to believe it or not. It's the duty of every producer, promoter, dj and punter a like to ensure that the sound remains fresh by exploring new ideas and broadening their tastes on multiple sources.. not just youtube
C'mon peoples it's just dubstep. Skin up, have a pint and chill the fuck out
