I blame Skrillex for this.
This somewhat is what I think after checking out a couple of tracks. He just got a "Nerd/Hip" image that attracts while the Directors of the videos know how to sell the music. Hip-Lite sold very well. The Music, however, leaves a lot to be desired. I like well-produced Dance at times, but it seems that there's more image than creativity going on.

Neither Yea or Nay, just Meh. May be better than Bieber for the Pop world, but it's still the same level of entertaining - not much. Just my first impression opinion for now.

(Sorry for the Million Edits...just getting back into listning to some Dance music after years of being away from it. Need to know more, though...)
