As it is, noone came up with a name for the subgenre so everyone had to come up with their own unique take on the sound and there totally aren't any blatant copycats.

We can learn a lot from this, I think.

And sadly 2-3 years later it's now called brostep.

What a weird world we live in.

I'm so glad I missed this.

oh wow.

Brostep didn't blow up because of the word. It wasn't brostep to brostep fans, to them it was just dubstep. Brostep blew up because that was the sound that was identified by the masses as dubstep.

it was bound to happen.

D&B focus was all about the drums, so to out do each other on the dancefloor producers/djs make tunes/sets higher bpm for more 'energy'.

Dubstep focus was about the (sub) bass so it went filthier and filthier.

wtf is wrong with all these new school dubsteppers with their hats on backwards and their skateboards

My point is that the focal aspect of genres gets taken further and further till its fucked.

Uk Garage was the most commercial and got cheesy as fuck

Jungle turned into D&B and D&b turned into a 170 mess

Majority of Dubstep turned into transformer noises

And you can suck a bag of dicks.

yes, but in jungle the focus was the edit in the drums, yet in DnB the drums mostly follow the exact same pattern ad infinity

I miss the days when 180 bpm clownstep was big in the edm game

Still wrong and no.

Also I don't agree with your general point. The problem is not that a genre gets pushed "too far" within its philosophy/aesthetics (also, I'm pretty sure "filthy bass" wasn't the objective when dubstep started). The problems begin when artists that have no roots within the scene copy some really shallow aspects of the music and produce easy to digest shit and gain success. This is when producers and fans lose focus of what it was all about from the beginning.

But this is mainly a problem within genres that generally don't get mainstream attention I guess. (There's no point in doing an easy to digest version of something that is already popular.)

The problem isn't the music, but the people that listen to it. By and large, most music is shit and most people listen to shit music.

There's this unwritten law of music that if a new genre comes out, the shittiest version of it will be picked up by the masses.
