brostep
what it is
Brostep is a subgenre of music born out of Dubstep. Unlike Dubstep where sub bass is key, Brostep places more emphasis on ratty high frequency samples with the specific mid-range wobble bass, a specific type of heavily modulated bass that aims to have an aggressive metallic and "dirty" feel.
