LOL, I got a 300 watt system in my living room (500 in the studio) and when I'm murking in MW2 that shit is unbelievably loud. 650 would throw me out the window.
I make music as Forsaken, you can DL all my unreleased (and a couple released) bits here.

I got the inbuilt speakers on my laptop, when I'm ripping 128's from YouTube the midrange makes me want to do something to a relative and potentially find another relatives wedding ring

yes, everything sounds different on a system, bass heavy music especially. I wasnt disagreeing with that fact, I was stating that people like hype because they like it, not because of their laptop speakers

But if you have never heard anything over a decent system or even with a sub then how are you supposed to enjoy the deeper stuff? Obviously they do just like that style like you say but part, not the whole, of the reason it is more popular is because it is more accessible because there is less of a need for a decent system/ speakers

Agree to disagree. So you're saying the same thing happened to DnB? People can't afford speakers so they just listen to midrange? What kind of speakers do I need to enjoy funky, which is neither "deep" nor "hype"? The problem with this thought process is that it pretends that hype and deep are the only two types of dubstep out there... What about wild rhythmic dubstep?

Lol yeah I got overexcited on that one. But I keep thinking on a really big system it's something different. I'm talking out of my personal experience, going from listening to Flux Pavilion on an ipod station to feeling a Ramadanman tune in a party was the thing that changed my vision on dubstep, and I think it would be the case with many other people.

There is indeed a lot of different types of dubstep, actually I think every producer has its own vision of what dubstep is. But here we're talking about the more midrange-focused side. And for me hearing that kind of sound on my ipod or in a party just doesn't change a thing, while with the more sub-bass focused tracks it's the complete opposite.

Where'd you hear those terms?

I'm just tired or reading Brostep everywhere, tried to come up with something catchy and more descriptive.
