my two problems with Girl Talk are:

1. I can't get into his music
2. Everyone seems to think he is the savior of EDM, along with Justice. Meanwhile, respectable artists like Milanese and Distance go under the radar
I don't know anyone that considers Girl Talk the savior of EDM, and most people who call Justice EDM's saviors are clueless enough where it's easy to not take them seriously. Most of it is just hyperbole from people who probably said the same thing about LCD Soundsystem and other dance/rock groups.

Milanese and Distance are, along with Skream, Burial, and a few others, some of Dubstep's most recognizable names. I know both their albums got quite a bit of hype and critical acclaim even outside of the Dubstep scene, but I don't follow it too closely.
