My 15yr old nephew adores Skrillex, also likes l.m.f.a.o / katy perry and flo_rida and thinks his uncle listens to weird music...

That was a bit agitating to read, but I blame those individuals, not the artist.

Why was this thread resurrected though? LETT ITT DIEEEEEEE.

Although Skrillex doesn't work for me at all, this Skrillex bashing is a bit sad. I was wondering if people feel better for disliking Skrillex?

The actual message of Skrillex got over 1700 replies of which apparently there are some stereotypical messages.... 9 out of 1700... (check the dates of the replies, they're even in a random order copy-pasted)

Boards of Canada is shit music and the guys who make it are wankers.

"Skrillex" bashing?

Don't think it's necessarily Skrillex bashing to have a problem with a bunch of teenagers and college kids who say "THIS IS SHIT WHERE'S THE DROP" about music you like on a large scale. There's way more than 9 out of 1700, I looked at the status he posted. It's roughly two in every four comments, until towards the end when non-Skrillex listeners came along and started spewing hatred.

I would probably care more about Skrillex if he had more than one song.

I posted this on WATMM, i thought i shuold post it here too.

So I only recently, like a month ago, found out about Skrillex. Read the posts about him on both WATMM and Twoism. So today I decided I'd check him out and see what he has to offer. I started with "scary monsters and nice sprites", and thought the music was kinda corny with that crappy high pitched vocoder'd voice. Then the bass drop came and I thought: hey, that's kinda cool sounding. so I moved on to "First of the Year". It had the exact same crappy high pitched voice cut up and virtually the same yelling leading to another bass drop. The bass drop was awesome sounding, and I thought: maybe this guy is not so bad if you can get around the crappy rest of the song. I continued to view "Rock and Roll", again with the crappy voice! What the hell is with this guy and that crappy voice. It came again in "kill everybody". this is bullshit, i thought. So I ended up just skipping past the crap and listening to the drops only. Boy that got old fast. Within half an hour to forty five minutes I was utterly unimpressed by the drops anymore. He's got some really good production skills, and is definitely talented at what he does. But good grief, he's the epitome of one trick pony. I really hope I'm wrong and he's been secretly making actual good music behind the scenes. After all, he has good taste in music declaring "Flim" as his favourite song. He may just be milking the one trick pony to get famous and rich, then once he's established as an icon, he may release something worthwhile. This is what I hope anyways.

There you have it.

Probably one of the few sane posts in here. I like Skrillex, in the sense that if you compare him to most other popular music on the scene. He does have a way with what he does. The extreme hate just seems a little odd and somewhat immature coming from some of you. I remember a few years back saying I liked Milo and got shit on for it. I liked Milo at that point in my life because I was sexing a girl who was into him and he was big in the one or two clubs we had where I lived at the time. Not everything has to be Autechre like in complexity to be enjoyable. I go to karaoke often in Japan and its great to be able to sing songs that I remember from growing up (80's 90's mostly) and they were songs that were popular in their day. ATB, Alice DeeJay, Ian van Dahl will always be special to me for the memories. Are we all that anally retentive that we can't enjoy a bit of simplicity?
