Brostep

Description

Brostep is a subgenre of dubstep characterized by its aggressive, high-energy sound, featuring heavy bass drops, distorted synthesizers, and a focus on mid-range frequencies. It often incorporates elements of heavy metal and is designed to be played at high volumes in club settings.

History

Brostep emerged in the late 2000s as a more commercial and accessible version of dubstep. It gained popularity in North America, largely due to artists like Skrillex, who brought the genre to mainstream attention. The genre's development was influenced by the need for a more intense and energetic sound suitable for large festival performances.
