Skrillex:Yay, or Nay?

I'm do not have biased opinions on Skrillex, I just want to see what people's perspectives are. So, what do you think of him?

Personally I think Skrillex has gone downhill. At the risk of sounding like a hipster douche, his old stuff is much better. His latest EP, bangarang, is nothing special, but then if you go back to his stuff like Reptile's Theme and Slats Slats Slats, they're so much better.

But I'd say Skrillex is a yay.

I dunno, Right In is a pretty sweet song. So's Bangarang

But you can't say you didn't know what was coming as soon as you pressed play, right? I can only stand so much of a genre that is played by facking EVERYBODY lately, it's everywhere...

same can be said for most artists. I have a certain expectation of how tom waits in going to sound when i play a new album by him.

Personally, I love his music, when I first heard it, It was kinda a mix of

The problem is, people these days have made it way too mainstream, and it kinda makes the genre feel a bit less special.
Still, Skrillex is a yay.

I liked him at first. I keep tabs on EDM, so when Dubstep came along, it was neat. It wasn't like anything else I'd listened to. Once it started becoming more and more popular and started to be played everywhere and by everyone, I began to get sick of it. Skrillex was one of the guys who was really at the forefront of it all. I stopped listening to his music, since I heard him everywhere, and slowly stopped listening to Dubstep in its entirety. Well, the brostep stuff anyway. What I enjoy listening to was the topic for my latest blog post.

Skrillex is a yay in my book. Not for any particular reason other than I just enjoy some of his songs. I have one album of his, and while I'm no expert on "dubstep" or music in general, I just enjoy what I enjoy. But I know a lot of people are anti Skrillex. To each his or her own I suppose.
