My fav "DNB" that's arguably not jungle is prolly the 94-96 No U Turn type techstep with grimy ass sounding reeses but still properly phat breaks

it's even more up its own bum and pedantic than that soronery
because what you posted is actually just neuro
phace, noisia, spor, etc is neuro that forgot the funk with a focus on sound design like in commercials or films (not so much breaks as singlehits)
whereas only a select few techstep bits with funk in them got to be called neurofunk (as a joke) like opticals watermelon and matrix' early stuff (pre 2000 stuff basicly)
I'd recommend technoid which is breakbeat dnb turned back intro techno (proket, raiden, the sect)
techstep which is breakbeat dnb with a techno influence (konflict, bc uk, digital)
and Billain which is big room neuro lololololo with a bit of funk

Clownstep was the first bro-step-esque subgenre of dnb imo, in the sense that the name carried the same negative connotation as brostep to the world of steps.. lol... looking at you "Twisted individual"

Neurofunk went the same way that "dungeon" did. It just became loads of wanking off over designing twisty reese bass sounds rather than bothering to make actually interesting tracks and just using the same rigid boring drums over and over.

tbf they try to. If everyone legitimately sounded like Noisia or Phace in terms of quality it would be scary out there.

you are talking about neuro
big basslines + single hit drums (sort of bro)
ie
vs
neurofunk, which is specifically techstep era stuff inspired by like miles davis and psycherock and wahwah pedals on the bass and mostly hardware gear
(grooving and not stepping)
konflict was the last techstep bit before bro neuro took over

ye, Neurofunk is the post '98 extension of tech step (according to wiki). Inb4 mid-scooped snares.

Jump Up sounds rude and UK-ey and cool though, like bassline, and unlike brostep (or actually like early bro like Rusko & Caspa, Cookie Monsta, Wheel & Deal etc).
You can always hear it when the americans arrive, everything sounds PHAT and the flute basslines and skankablity goes out.
