Just watching him get his dick out and playing with it in front of some randomer.
Too busy selling car insurance these days.

Seriously?
wtf
Yep. For an insurer that doesn't (or at least didn't when it hit the news) insure musicians.
Johnny Rotten advertises Country Life Butter now too.

They both seemed to happen in the same month a couple of years ago... I took it as my cue to stop watching commercial television and looking at billboards. I'm much happier, but have no idea what to buy when I go to the shops.

At least the music is somewhat more geared towards our style.

despite how feminine emo girl looks, I find it a lot easier to crack one off over Rihanna.

Haha yeah it's pretty shit, but shit sells. Even he is surprised it got popular. As mentioned it sounds fresh to a lot of people. It just reminds me of 2000 era jumpup dnb.
I give him props for not letting it go to his head and for touring hard, but the music isn't for me at all.
I think it's pretty funny, because it just makes the grammy awards seem lamer imo. Like someone else mentioned, they have about as much relevance as the Oscars when it comes to unique & amazing films. Come on, Hurt Locker won best picture. lol.

...and the award for best comment goes to:
Joe Maio · University of New Hampshire
I completely agree, I guarantee anyone who thinks Skrillex is real dubstep couldn't name five dubstep artists if you asked them.
Stephen James Anderson III · Diablo Valley College
doctor p, datsik, chase and status, borgore, flux, 12th, bare, benga, cookie monsta, figure.he doesnt even think of himself as a dubstep producer. he just has dub influences. metallica did the same thing to metal everyone just needs to stop complaining.
Runners up:
Erica O'Young · Subscribe · Hollywood, California
SO FREAKING PROUD! =)) This is huge for EDM!
Vaibhav Shete · Works at Savvis
Skrillex u deserve this man...
U r the one who inspired everyone to know what a Cutoff Filter and LFO does...
Joshua Saylor · Intern at Fox Sports Radio
flux pavilion, bassnectar, Dr. P, Mimosa, Dillion Francis, Datsik, Caspa, Rusko, NERO and some Freestylers...there is some real dubstep! Eventhough skrillex is good just gets repetitive..

end of it all, he's making p, hes acting like a rockstar etc im sure hes happy
personaly im not a fan of bitcrushing and same old happy crappy intro's into mid-hi freq "drops" BUT its the same thing with any other pop act i don't like
they have no affect on the music i make or the music i listen to...so its not really a problem.

I was about to say at least Rihanna might play G4L and that's closer to our sound but I just listened to it again and Christ they butchered Bits to make that.

Who said anything about mala getting a Grammy? Talking about the few who get interested in dubstep because of this and follow the dots a little deeper

I remember the singer of Mindless Self Indulgence when they played at Leeds Fest a few years ago...
"If we knew it was this easy to get a Grammy we would have started smoking crack earlier!"
Sums it up in my opinion
