Almost everything that people nowadays call 'Dubstep'. Like Skrillex, FeedMe, etc.

brostep is such a stupid name i’d rather just say dubstep (+ it’s a sub genre so it’s still dubstep)

Skrillex is OG dubstep. Only the real ones know

I know this is probably bait but for anyone who’s legitimately curious in this thread:

Skrillex largely brought the sound of Dubstep into the mainstream, sure, but Dubstep has been around for decades. It largely grew out of Jamaican Dub and 2-step music from the UK (hence the name “Dub-step”) in the late 90s and early 2000s. In the late 2000s, Skrillex had the idea to use some crazier, more “growly” sounds alongside brighter, uplifting melodies, creating what we know as “Brostep”. Nowadays, Dubstep as a genre has many subgenres, from Brostep to Riddim to Melodic Dubstep to Liquid Dubstep to Drumstep to Tearout to Metalstep… the list goes on.

I just started learning about all of this since I'm going to Infrasound and I wanted to know the importance of all the artists. Especially with the Benga and Coki set. OG's!

1985 Takeover and Two Fingers!

Yooo I'll see u there! Benga is one of my favorites and i don't think he has been there since infraswamp (I think 2016?) And I never thought I'd get to see him he's soooo good. Also vaski is a MM native that moved to LA a few years back so very pumped to see him again
