What is brostep?

Brostep is a subgenre of dubstep that emerged in the late 2000s. It is characterized by aggressive sounds, heavy basslines, and intense drops. Brostep is known for its high-energy and often chaotic production style, with noisy synths, distorted wobbles, and frantic rhythms.

Brostep became popular in the American electronic music scene, particularly in the early 2010s. Artists such as Skrillex, Zeds Dead, and Excision are considered pioneers of the brostep sound.

Critics of brostep argue that it has strayed from the original roots of dubstep, focusing more on aggression and commercial appeal rather than the deeper, more atmospheric sound of traditional dubstep. However, fans of brostep enjoy its intense energy and heavy basslines, making it a popular subgenre in the electronic music scene.
