who is this???

[ChadDub]

Because he's a hipster pretentious elitist.

[Sine69]

It's ridiculous how much hate Skrillex gets around here.

He's a talented producer. You can't deny that even if you don't like his tunes.
I highly doubt he's an "asshole" or whatever. I've seen plenty of interviews of him, and he seems like a really down-to-earth, nice guy.

I'm not saying you have to like the guy's music, but there's honestly no reason to hate him. Why can't we all just be friends?

[Siderealdb]

I don't think that people really hate him. Around here, i think it has more to do with noobs trying to sound like him. Nobody want's to learn anymore, they just want answers they don't deserve.

[Augment]

Thats dumb bro ^. Anybody can say his music sucks. Anyone can say his motives are slimy, even someone as deficient as me.

Why is my opinion dumb? Does it make you feel better about yourself when you say his motives are slimy, or that his music sucks? He's way ahead of the game in my opinion.

He WAS ahead of the game...but then he lost his Skrillex bass in Italy

but seriously though he dosnt deserve the hate he's given

I bet Karasho came and took it

JK, and i agree with the hate thing. People like his music, he likes making music. No reason to hate, really.

Why though? Why do you pin such hatred on what other people like. I'm not being simplistic either, I would just like to know your personal motivation for disliking him so much.

My dislike for him isn't motivated. I don't like and dislike things for a purpose, to achieve an end. Does that make sense to you?

I'd also like to point out that you're the one introducing the concept of hatred. Think that speaks more about you than anything else. Hatred is a simple concept. It is reductive. A human is capable of far more nuanced emotions and thoughts than simple hatred. Or at least they were...

Honestly, I've never listened to a skrillex song all the way through. I heard a certain class of people talking about him and knew pretty much what to expect. Someone posted a link, I listened to half the song and had heard enough to evaluate to my satisfaction what is going on with skrillex. Think it is a cynical profit motivated attempt to exploit the dubstep brand. It is produced well enough to be widely consumed. I don't know if that is him, or treatment that the music receives after it leaves his hands.

Why didn't you say that you've never listened to a skrillex tune all the way through? You sound like your very thorough.

[nowaysj]

You only have to eat half a Big Mac to know what is going on!

[Siderealdb]

Bigmacs are awesome. You suck.

This belongs in general discussion, its in no way production related...

Skrillex is a former Emo/Screamo vocalist who jumped on the dubstep bandwagon about 6 months ago. Most of the people on this forum will claim to have a problem with his production quality, but not me, Ill outright admit I just think he's a tnuc personality wise, never heard his tunes that I know of... Most of the people on this forum who tear into him are really just upset because he is milking his past fame, he still uses his old stage name and you can get away from the plugs for his old band... Think if he'd have dropped his past clout and started afresh people might not dislike him so much. He's on deadmaus's label maustrap. They sell Skrillex tshirts in American pop music stores.

I feel people dislike him because he's become immensely successful in a short period of time. Also, he hasn't just "jumped on" the dubstep bandwagon. He produces deep house, electro.etc. as well. His first release was an independent one. Love him or hate him, his production skills are top notch. He's also a very good singer.

Also, people seem to think that producers only create mainstream just to make money. There's a lot of people that actually -like- mainstream music, just like we love our genres. Whereas we focus on creating those genres we love, just as others do. There isn't always a hidden motive, to think that is incredibly cynical.

Those that can do, do.
Those who can't, sit on DSF bashing those who can.


Make energetic music like Skrillex, be called crap, hipster and a no-talent.
Play C5 sub bass note for 5 minutes, add 1 shaker loop, be called deep and inspirational.

The sooner you learn these rules, the sooner life on DSF becomes easier.
