Scrillex is to dubstep what blink 182 is to harcore punk.
Despite that, the guy seems actually very cool, and obviously has a broad and diverse taste in music.
- "blink 182 is to harcore punk." Wait , what? "Softcore teenage pop" you mean?ApeRobot
- What i mean is, Skrillex is the MTV version of dubstep. That analogy maybe wasn't that well crafted ;)jagara
- That analogy was well crafted but just misunderstood. This is QBN, you usually have to spell things out.ORAZAL

Scarabin,
My only gripe with the guy is the fact that everyone calls him talented, and that his live shows are amazing. Amazing to me, isn't when someone twitches knobs of prerecorded material synced to a perfect beat at a live show. Amazingly talented is doing this live without utilizing prerecorded material, with higher risk of a fuckup or DJ's who use prerecorded material to create something new during a show.. I guess this is where my definitions are different than yours.For example, I think Daft Punk is way more talented and risk-taking than this kid, and they won only 1 Grammy, while this kid one 3 in one year.
Is this kid really that talented that you have to go and say something like, "they can't handle someone younger than them or outside their subcultural comfort zone being more talented"?

For me, personally, I get annoyed because Skrillex doesn't even really produce dubstep. It's more pop, and/or electro-house, more than anything. His work doesn't sound anything remotely dub-like at all.
This is dubstep:
- but a lot of his fans insist that he's dubstep. That's where my frustration comes in.twooh
- most of what's called dubstep isn't literally dubstepscarabin
- literal dubstep ended years agoscarabin
- it is all technoutopian
- pretty horrible trackutopian

I get the feeling scarabin is trolling...
One may like skrillex a shit ton more than afx... though to say he's more talented is absurd.

Scarabin, what an ignorant and transparent thing to say. As if luck and marketing have nothing to do with it. Don't you work in advertising?

i suppose, the difference between aphex and skrillex is the internet.

"Skrillex is the inventor of “dubstep” whose sole purpose is to provide a “drop” — common youth terminology for procuring and snorting drugs. In addition, the rhythm patterns he employs in his “music” are known to cause seizures to certain people, which provides ample opportunity for other concert-goers to rape said afflicted person(s)."

I know I said this, but it's pretty amazing how excited kids are about something that all sounds the same, more so than any other genre before it. This "drop" thing that everyone gets so excited about? Every last one of those fucking things sounds the same as every other one.

Skrillex is the current Fred Durst. Some people love it and most people hate it. Eventually we will all agree it was pretty much awful and wander off elsewhere.
