Thoughts?

[JBoy]

Not my cup of tea really.

yeah already commented on their facebook,and while after everything they have done I feel bad to thrash talk them,I feel really disappointed about them..First the Comps,2nd the interview with the DMA's and now Skrillex!?! I mean WTF?

[wub]

I feel really disappointed about them

Why disappointed?

[Reese_Liar]

If anyone stands a chance to open the "bro"-fans' eyes to some deeper stuff, it's Getdarker imo. They've always (for a while at least) been pretty much all over the spectrum and if having some Skrillex on the front page means that just one in 100 bro fans find, and like, some of the good stuff I would see that as a success.

Edit: That said, not gonna watch the video, not a fan of Skrillex at all.

So it's a good thing, as it's directing viewers who are there because of Skrillex onto some alternative sounds, that they may not have usually listened to?

Bah I don't know,had much respect for them(still have..but less) and now they just feel like ministry of sound lol

That is true though.

Yeah definitely. Maybe GD can act as a sort of bridge between the two camps and hopefully lead some people unto the real, good stuff.

i cringe

roll on the next dmz. where things arent bait, and cheesy as fuck.

each to their own still. if people want to like really cheesy, bait shit, thats fair enough, most people do.

didnt expect to see this on getdarker. although its only a video. if he was to ever play a proper set on getdarker tv, thats when i would cry a single tear. of embarresment.

edit - i dont think any of the sweaty kids will be listeing to the darker styles anytime soon, even if it is directly linked next to a skrillex track. i think they will just listen to more skrillex and whatever high pitched stuff ukf puts on its channel.
realistcly, getdarker isnt a gateway, its just another site hosting a skrillex video to those kids...

or might lead people from the good stuff to the crap stuff?

or just promote the crap stuff.

[Reese_Liar]

Well who knows? Maybe just a few of those kids are potential fans of the darker stuff but just haven't been exposed to it yet - that's how music discovery and the evolution of one's taste in music works.

You're probably right in most cases, but shouldn't we just be happy that the good stuff gains a whole batch of new potential buyers/lovers, even if it is just 1 in a hundred or even thousand?

We can all choose to not watch that video, so I don't really see why it's hurting anyone as long as GD continue to ALSO push the darker/deeper/watchamacallit sound.

If people are led to the crap stuff and abandons the good stuff in favor of that, what does it say about them? is it really that big a loss?

[phrex]

i dunno...

why do an exception with getdarker?

big up get darker anyway - but i don't support this sellout sound - no matter where it's promoted

[collige]

If it was GetDarkerTV I would've cared, but seeing as it's just another youtube video, it's whatever.

As for the song itself, Skrilex, seems to be improving. This was was good before the shitty drop as opposed to just okay before the shitty drop.

[kidshuffle]

who didn't expect this from getdarker? i mean its a business...

Yeah but all of his songs are exactly the same..Kick snare beat/cheesy synths,chopped up vocals,OH MY FUCKING GOD sample(or something similar,then the same drop with the same synths..really its all of the same same same thing can't beleive people buy this shit

Not sure I see what you're getting at?

[bigfootspartan]

I'm not too worried about it. GetDarker has been great thus far, and I doubt this is a slide into getting tons of cheesy bro stuff during GetDarker.TV.

I seem to remember a 'Circus Takeover' or 'Rottun Takeover' or something like that a while back, same sitation, download it if it ticks your clock, but if it's not your thing then just wait for a better GetDarker set. I think that this can only be a benefit for the deeper/dungeon/purple scenes.
