I like the brostep neoliberalism piece, i think there’s some ahistoricism tho, (and i feel like [steven] shaviro [who the author, robin james, references] does it too). Like, it treats bro-step as something that emerged at that moment from technology and the economy almost without intent (true) but erases the structures that hold its legibility together. Like skrillex was first in the screamo band "from first to last" before shifting to skrillex which maybe points to the essentially “rock” music construction of the song, but filtered through how he appropriated dubstep and stripped it of any potential criticality...so i feel like it's more useful thinking about this as neoliberalism that consumes its own critique and repackages it for consumption.
