Sure was, this is from 2003, they mention it on here and they didn't even know what sort of music it was -

Dubstep and Grime are especially close though because they evolved at the same exact time from the same people, place and radio stations. One merged into Hip-Hop and the other developed into Brostep.
Also seems like Dubstep evolved from stoner music to pillhead music. Once it started to get popular the crowds and fan base changed. I'd say it's more like Dance music now.

Now, it has the potential to be great, but most of the focus goes into the wrong things. The best thing about the realness that was evolving in the UK was the vibe. It didn't rely on anything other than that, and the gallop of the beat. Since then, the focus has shifted to other aspects that, while they could be considered evolutions, they're not evolving from the same place.

I've heard very little creativity from the modern Brostep stuff tbh. The emphasis seems completely on how ridiculous you can make the bass sound or how aggressive you can make the snare or whatever. It's toss. Sukh Knight is sort of a hybrid of the two styles though and does it very well I think.
There is good stuff being made, but I cannot be bothered to sift through the massive amounts of s
hit to find it anymore.

Personally, I don't appreciate what most people call "brostep". I do, however, enjoy the roots. And if there are people out there that can't tell the difference between then and now, then I feel sorry for them.
