this feels like the 'USian'/'American' dichotomy

  Dubstep generally still has some recognizable traces of reggae in it and is not nearly as aggressive. Listen to some reggae and some older dub, then traditional dubstep, and you will see why it's useful to have different terms. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dub_music https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dub_music

    i am familiar with the distinction, but for most of the world, dubstep is what you call brostep. this battle is long lost.

      It's best not to pull your hair out over it, but introducing the wider range of terms is low effort and it gives you a chance to introduce brostep fans to ancestrally related genres that they might also like, so I don't see the harm in gentle insistence here.
