Skrillex is often derided by hardcore electronic music fans, who feel his version of dubstep is bastardized, but his five nominations prove that he has even more backers on his side.

Who care's dude.. Milli Vanilli won a fucking grammy, and they put in twice as much work faking a career.

i thought i acted fairly civil in that thread and im pretty certain i was half the reason that thread was lockled.

anyways...



i dont really understand how hes got 5 nominations...

is his 'music' really that innovative? that groundbreaking?
is it even that good?

sure, i can understand that he works hard... even i have to admit that guy tours alot, but can all those nominations really be all on his ability to sell a product? instead of on his musical merits?

He is the first artist to REALLY hit the mainstream (mainly thanks to Dead Mau Five). To most people this IS new music for them and totally different to anything theyve heard before (unless they listened to clownstep).

tbh I would say that it is pretty groundbreaking. Had not really heard anything quite like it until his music came along. Up until that point there was normally some sort of obvious progression and links between bars (even with bro) whereas Skrillex genuinely seems to have started the trend for random noises

I don't really care but honestly, the reason this is bad is because everytime we say Skrillex is shit from now on, we'll get the backlash of his grammies nominations.

It's the Grammys. They're American Music Industry awards... what do you expect? Were you waiting for Wiley to run up on stage and grab the Mic off Lady Gaga during her acceptance speech shouting "I'm sorry, Ima let you finish... but Emika had the best single this year..."

I would rather see Skrillex perform than Gaga, Rihana, etc.
At least the music is somewhat more geared towards our style.
plus I`d love to see Paul McCartney in the front row with a :o .
