skrillex is a what douchey college bros and 15 year olds listen to. He completely ruined the electro/house/dubstep scene because everybody associates him with dubstep now. I loathe him and hate everything he does. Not to mention that I've been listening to dubstep and other electronic music since like sophmore year of high school and back then everyone would just be like "omg ur so weird why dont you listen to normal music lolz?" and now everyone is dick riding that type of music because its "in" right now. So once again, **** skrillex. Not trying to get all hipster on you because I still listen to all the types of music, I just wanted to point out how nearly everyone who is "into dubstep" is just a mindless sheep following the "trends".
Rusko 'apologized' for making dub about mid ranges, but admits he likes skrillex's music.
And zomgz, sophy year of college for EDM? Kewl story bro. I lieked dem before dey were popular. You gaiz are just so mainstreamz...
I grew up on metal, trance, and kraftwerk. I know. It's pretty ridiculous. You can laugh. Hell, I'm laughing right now too
Benga, caspa, etc etc etc yeah sure godfathers, but it's a totally different direction in the music. I go to this stuff because it makes me want to move.
Yeah, there's ton of bro-step loving dude-bros who love skrillex, but he makes dance music and me makes it really bloody well. He does dub, electro house, dnb, and moombahton among other things.
So he's popular now. Big deal. Hate him, but his popularity in the US has made EDM so much bigger than it ever has been before. People listen to him, find 20 other things that are related to him and love those too.
So far in the last year or so, I've seen more dj's than I can keep track of. I've probably never been as psyched for a show as skrillex. Feed me (2x), RJD2, DJ Shadow, Kaskade, Nero, Crystal Method, Netsky, High Contrast, NiT GriT, Bassnectar, yada yada yada.
I'm seeing fatboy slim the same day as my test and I'm considering going to madeon and dancing my night off the night before my test. That last thing will probably not happen, but madeon's 17. He's still got a few shows left in him.
You're not cool because you hate skrill bro.
You might even make him cry.
