Re: Why do people hate on Skrillex?

It could also be that he induces the need to do this and post it on the internet: He's cut his hair and doesn't look like a transsexual anymore. hes sold out, don't like him anymore. You keep going on about looks like it matters with producers. It seems like to me about 80% of producers are ugly as...

Re: Why do people hate on Skrillex?

The word revolutionized is what got me I guess what I meant to say was a (to some people, shitty) branch that derived from dubstep. I know, I know, revolutionized wasn't the best word. -_- It definitely has key dubstep features buried in it. thats where it can be misleading. to anyone who discovere...

Re: Why do people hate on Skrillex?

Good replies guys. To be honest, I just like heavy modulated bass and drops. Skrillex just makes it sound really rich. But yeah, I agree that he's not the greatest at mixing, lol.
