I mean, you guys do realise how many of you are just saying effectively "Its everywhere[read:popular] now it sucks"?

Skrillex makes some really good stuff. Everyone can point out other dubstep artists that are good, (Fonik, Cyberoptics, Calderon, Curious Kontrol, etc), but to me they're either on the same level or slightly below. Curious Kontrol for example is pretty good, but also nothing incredible. Cyberoptics is incredible, and Fonik is probably my favourite artist right now, but none of them are really better than skrillex, they just emphasise things differently. Skrillex emphasises the drop. Fonik does too, but he also emphasises the samples. etc
Benga, Skream, Distance, Excision are far above Skrillex. Skrillex is sitting one half step below Borgore. And Borgore put himself on a low bar on purpose. What's Skrillex's excuse? He's like the clown of dubstep. Money grab.
