Skrillex - Most IDM 2012

Because I want to hear its WATMM comp album mostly.

was this posted?

RLOL

I can actually see him doing that too

I got Pandora for my phone two days ago, and dedicated yesterday to learning the lyrics to every Skrillex track.

Mostly it's that Charlie Brown adult talk, but with fancy triplets and synth squeals, like SKREEOO WOMUMUMUM WOM WOM WOM.

Okay, so I backtracked and actually read some of the thread. This guy sounds like a spoiled brat with ADHD and a talent for rhythm.

But why is it hopelessly addicting?

Huh? This is basically what people think about electronic music in general. You might as well ask people on the street what they think of Autechre, and they'll react the same.

Will I get hate for purchasing Skrillex tracks?

yes

Agree. As far as music karma goes, it would take at least a few bulk purchases various acclaimed discographies to make up for one Skrillex iTunes purchase. Just find a copy on the interwebs if streaming isn't enough.

I'm sure some of his vinyl 12" pressings will end up on ebay at some point...oh wait nvmnd

So, why was this thread -really- created?

Only from titheads, don't worry about it

Okay.

*pirates furiously*

Music karma? Go to hell!

I can't wait for Skrillex's much anticipated new Chillwave direction. He's gonna chill our faces off.

Hopefully by amassing enough posts in this thread it will somehow quantum entangle itself with the real Skrillex and by deleting the thread, he too will be deleted. That's the prevalent theory at the WATMM Science Center anyways.

Also, if you say skrillex a couple of times it turns into sex.

Ur welcome.

I tend to think of those rhythmic conniptions as those little shivers after an orgasm. Is there a word for that? They should change Skrillex's style to that word. Hate the player, not the music.

spot on!

Okay, I know nothing about dubstep. I do like Skrillex.

Would I be accurate in saying he's like the Lady Gaga of dubstep? Popularizing the accessible aspects for a broader market with a LOT of production support?

Not really nah. Lady Gaga makes general poppy sort of music that's probably way overrated, & she seems to put more work into costumes than the music itself, but she can sing & write hooks & play piano & shit, so that puts her way ahead of the likes of Ke$ha.

Skrillex is a kid who writes pop songs with one over-exaggerated element of dubstep included as his signature (namely, the wobbly drops) & has gotten way popular against the odds. Maybe he will do something really super once his production skills improve, or maybe he'll just mess around for a while & move onto something different like he did with metal or whatever he was into before.
