Skrillex:Yay, or Nay?

djSwoon · 03-08-2012, 10:00 PM

I really enjoy Skrillex's music. He is a really talented artist and I can appreciate the level of skill he has in production. He has been a musician pretty much his whole life. Winning the grammys is great for all electronic music, and for him. Just because a bunch of people like him does not decrease the quality of his music. Something should never suck just because it is popular.

I never said he sucked because he's popular. I said it sucks that he IS popular, because now there are a lot of people emulating his style. I like some very popular music. Nero, for example, is huge. Him winning the grammys is terrible for electronic music because it means all the more people will copy his style and try to ride on his coattails to success and fame. Which means an influx of garbage music.

I was being a little harsh. I Just really don't like brostep.

Wow there are a lot of haters in this thread. I love his album Bangarang, I'm not going to lie. I find his music fun, although not quality dubstep, it is possible to listen to him in a less serious manner.

Skrillex is new in the music industry, I can't display a strong opinion about him. But he has really climbed the charts and he has won Grammies, so he is a new upcoming music phenom. I have decided to personally enjoy his music in the past month and I do personally believe that he is very talented in the idea of mixing. Therefore I have reason to believe that music like this is not just sound but there is synth, contour, and timbre to it. He uses grace notes and ghost notes which are sometimes difficult to manipulate in a peice.

I have reason to believe that I personally think you need to stop posting like you are writing a scientific paper, therefore, I decided.

Skrillex = EDM for bandwagon hopping scene kids. I dig some of his stuff though.

Sorry, can't stand Dubstep, so Skrillex is an automatic nay from me.

Dubstep is an awful genre as a whole, I can't stand hipster subculture, and Skrillex is the most popular dubstep artist. Big nay.
