'Real' Dubstep

[Antag]

I'm not a huge dubstep fan, but I still get annoyed by the 'bro-step' (yes, it's a shitty name, but at least most people get what is meant by that). I think this quote gives a good idea why a lot of dubstep fans hate it:

That's why brostep is so repulsive to proper dubstep fans. Not only is it very musically different and deserves distinction because of that, but the culture behind it is also very different. Real dubstep is "meditate on bassweight", while brostep is "yeah d00d, this shit i ripped off youtube is so filthy coming from my skullcandy headphones WUB WUB".

It is completely different music. And that's fine, but suddenly the music that you listen to is associated with something else. Even that wouldn't work me up too much, but if you're at a good dubstep party and enjoying the music to suddenly have some annoying teenagers yell at the DJ that he should play 'real' (with which they mean Skrillex crap) dubstep it can get on your nerve. Things like that are can easily seen as a danger to the scene.

Btw, the popularity isn't really a problem for dubstep fans. Have you hear any of them rage against James Blake?

Btw, one of my favorite tracks. Just listen to this and you'll understand why 'brostep' is a completely different genre.

A lot of what people call dubstep isn't even dubstep anyway, a lot is electro house or drum and bass. Either way, you really need to separate the two "types" of the genre though because they sound nothing alike and wubwubwubstep has really tainted 'earlier' dubstep's name.

Btw I was listening to Burial as I saw this thread on the main page, lol.

Oh and I can't stand James Blake.
