To me.........The term Brostep is this..... When your an up and coming producer of dubstep music and your tunes are not quite ready for the " big time" but still have potential to be played, you may want an established Dj to play it out. The conversation goes like this......... " Brother, I got this wikkid choon for you play at your next gig, what of it?" People send me tunes all the time and I appreciate all of them, just not all of em are good enough to be played out or on the air.... These tunes are Brostep.... I equate it to this....In skateboarding when you start out and are gunning for glory, you are called a " Grommet " It doesn't mean you suck, you just have to put in your time and get your props that way....... Like I said, that's how I see it.

LOL... brostep is what is played at the sausage fests that no girls show up too. Kinda like what happened to the DNB scene where the darkest, loudest sounding mid range bass loving alpha male mosh pit a gwaaaaan.

LOL i think he was trying to point out that the tune being played is one of the harder-aggro-midrange variety no??
that has got to be the funniest video in the history of dubstep anyways like 3 of those girls know how to move to a beat like that i think thats the hardest part is that most gals in the US are used to hip hop or house. "cmon guys lets get crazyyyy!" LOL the banter in that video is classicc! big up those gals tho. just dont drop the fartstep and you should be fine. you gotta get on the dancefloor and show these chicks where to pop to that beat having a few girls who know how to dance to dubstep on the floor is key too! big up to those gals who show up. the standing still mandem needs to av a drink!
all you need is the funk howard

or more importantly when the dj's stopped playing what they wanted to play, and started playing purely to crowd reaction. people don't know what dj'ing really is any longer.

I think I'm confused as to what brostep actually is - plenty of parties I go to have a lot of mid range bass being played but its not really moshstep for the most part and its definately not a sausage fest. Are we just talking about midrange that really sounds like heavy metal? I mean theres tunes quality tunes with metal influence of different styles (Distance, Numbernin6 etc) which I'm often playing and then theres dubstep that may as well be heavy metal as its dark and noisey shit for goths etc which I'd never play - is that what we're talking about with "brostep"? I think lots of other ppl on here are confused as well and just think anything midrange and banging is brostep - ive not seen any of these all male brostep parties in the UK so mabeye its a US thing? The only virtually all male parties in the UK I can remember are the early DMZ gigs but obviously the great music and soundsystems made up for that and many emerging scenes have that problem b4 the mainstream catches on
