and its really not dubstep. its electro with new synth patches and a snare on the third.

if electro had been getting the media hype dubstep has over the last few years he'd have just called it electro. its would have been dubstep influenced electro.

agreed... i dont really think of this as dubstep thus it doesnt upset me. It's just more like electro house with the simple dubstep 140bpm beat.

Maybe it's because we don't have dark enough rooms.... or possibly because we don't put our faces down..... or put trigger fingers far enough up.

Why would any artist put a vocal in their track which repeats their name? eg;
"my name is skrillex, my name is skrillex...my name is skrillex"
I find that very strange. I don't like it when Roska does it either but I can forgive him cos hios music is good.

name recognition

Mike Jones went platinum by putting his name and phone number in a song.




make someone say your name and they know your name

1- his attitude is the same vulgar rock-stupid-ego-centered attitude you find in the fortunately dead rock'n roll. (cf steve aoki...)
2- in matter of taste, it is not too complicated, he does not have one. his "music" is one of the cheesiest and vulgar thing ever produced.
3- he is a fantastic opportunist and utterly marketing user using sounds from others from the real dubstep and drum&bass underground scene ( he tried electro then dubstep and tomorrow rumba for sure if he does not succeed... ) showbusiness skill: 1 spontaneity: zero.
4- skrillex fans have been identified like having a negative I.Q. (and a knowledge of music and art as long and deep as a suicidal mosquito's life)
5- he is an impostor because he's cynically "wear" the tag of "electronic music artist" whereas he is an ex-rock 'n'roll loser who know and represent absolutely nothing of the electronic culture, more he is actually the opposite...
6- skrillex fans make their best to act and to think its cool to jump and mosh like if mosh-pit was not a 30 years ago rock'n roll thing..
7- due to his sell out attitude he's killing slowly but surely dubstep innovations and innovators, making look dubstep like another name for drum&bass...
8- his fans are too often more ugly than himself ( which have to be considered as a real authentic performance though)
9- hes not a dj, he is a face full of spots tweaking knobs with the "sync" function activated using a mic to say the exact words "hello New york... i had a fanstastic time... you guys are incredible" in the same order in each city. (even if he thinks himself the show was not so fantastic you get the point...)
10- people used to laugh at him because his real name is "Kleenex".

Worst post ever?

To the whole 'coming from a rock background thing', correct me if I'm wrong, didn't Distance from a metal background? Call him shit and I'll eat your children.

Most of the rest of that is either complete bullshit, or so incoherent I can't quite grasp what you're trying to say.

How difficult is it to just ignore music you don't like? I'm not a fan of Skrillex, therefore I ignore him and his music. Give it a try some time, all this anger can't be good for the soul, man.

exactly, having a background in any type of music other than dubstep doesn't make your love of dubstep any less valid,i used to play drums in a death metal band ffs but it doesn't mean i cant enjoy going to DMZ

the thing that made dubstep so great to begin with was the fact that it had so many influences, skrillex makes music that appeals to him and references his influences, i personally dont enjoy it but a lot of people do

i get more annoyed with his fans than skrillex himself because they dont seem to want to put the time in and actually learn about dubstep further than whats on ukf dubstep, its when skrillex (or any other "brostep" producers') fans say things like "wtf, this isnt dubstep, where are the filthy wobz?" about a mala tune or something that i get annoyed, but that isnt skrillex's fault, im sure he probably listens to a fair amount of the older stuff and knows the history, you cant really blame him for his fans willful ignorance

this topic has been done to death anyway, dunno why i bothered to post
