I guess electro-house/complextro can be called 2-step brostep ...but most dubstep/brostep turned into halfstep (considered "dub" tempo? but kinda nonsense) ...hm, actually it's not really halfstep, it's halftempo, to make any sense.. some messed up definitions, i'm confusing myself..
2step is a specific kind of rhythm and beat, not just a tempo. If it's 4-to-the-floor like electro house it isn't 2step. Also: electro-house is usually around 128bpm, not 140

we are talking about brostep, and electro-house could be seen as a bro2step then not because of the tempo, since "step" is not the same as "tempo"... anyway, "halftempo" does not refer to a specific tempo, it's ehm, like "halftime" then? :p it doesn't make sense to call it halfstep, since the beat is not structured in half steps in same sense that a 2step is supose to be structured in two steps (skipping every second step, or beat, or whatever the explanation is)

i guess when you amend "-house" to "electro" it implies that its 4x4 electro, so not 2step
but yeah theres plenty electro that's more or less bro filth 2step
good 2step imo is syncopated tho, and most of the elctro is very straight beats (i.e. kick/snare/kick/snare) as though it were just 4x4 with the second and fourth kicks replaced with a snare

reggae and dub is not the same thing ...taking a traditional reggae song and add a 2step beat doesn't turn it into dubstep
officially has no connection to dubstep whatsoever
and how the fuck would anyone see skrilly as the "next kurt cobain" because they "relate to him so much" ??
there's no fuking words to the music!!
cobain status came from edgy, self obsessed, dreary and frustrated lyrics, rock and roll resurgence and rebelliousness
this shit is about hyphy growl wobz, light shows and candy flipping
comparison to cobain is fucking stupid, whether or not you like either artist

if you took a reggae song and turned it into an instrumental dancehall/system tune, it would be dub.
working that into 2step garage etc, is dubstep
so pretty much all our bases are covered, and the word "reggaestep" shouldn't exist.

hehe, yes, if you turn reggae into dub and THEN it can become dubstep... but skip the dub transformation, then it makes sense to call something reggaestep.. the video i called reggaestep (kinda jokingly, just to be safe if someone would say "it's not dub") was more reggae than dub..

Only ever look on the vinyl releases, but yeah, when I venture into the download section, it's a bit of a nightmare.

this is another good dubstep dancing video. His parents have a very nice living room for dubstepping (not to mentiong that backyard shed as a backdrop for the 2nd dude) and the guitaring at the end is pretty epic to
