Brostep / Skrillex and the Forum.

[collige]

But absolutely NO one out there reffers to their musical taste as Brostep, NO artists reffers to their music as Brostep, it is an derogatory term only use by people who want belitte peoples tastes in the newer Dubstep acts. So why are we, the minority on here using it?

I wish this were the case, but I've seen quite a few people (not on here obviously) use the term seriously. I think enough people are saying "it's not dubstep it's brostep" that people are starting to believe it.

As unpopular as this may sound to many on here, I think the ridiculous term BROSTEP should be dropped altogether. I am not asssuming everyone here lives in the bubble of this forum on this subject.

its no way some forum based term at all anymore. the phrase itself was used to describe that part of the sound as mosh pit music for teenage guys. you can ask kozee about this.

it started out on this forum very casually a few years ago as a offhand comment in a thread, and grew from there, and then got driven further by the media/agents/pr publicists, etc. i think anyone thats campaigning against something as subjective as a subgenre name is totally wasting their time. no one's gatekeeping the name brostep, nor does dubstep need protection or defending. this music is way too exposed and mainstream to bother with redefinitions. the only thing that matters now more than ever is letting people know about the long history, and the music as it developed during its history. let others know that it didn't start at the grammy awards.

don't waste your time worrying about who thinks this is that, or that is this.

lol good luck with that...same thing happened with "clownstep" 10 years ago.

The throwaway crap is just getting called out with a word; deal with it.

Brostep is hardly even a derogatory term anymore. It's basically just a term of convenience used to easily lump together that sound. When you say brostep, everyone knows what you're talking about, so it's a very useful and effective word

If there's any term we should be campaigning against it's "post-dubstep".
