Skrillex - Discuss, Debate, Praise, Hate

Okay, so I bought "This is Dubstep", but none of it sounds like Skrillex or Ry Legit or Dubba Jonny. Is Skrillex just "hard drop", or is it really dubstep?

get this compilation instead:

  I love Dubstep, especially Skrillex. But I don't consider it music, at least not something that falls in with the traditional definition of music. It is still artistic. It's like the Picasso of audio art. If you disagree, that's totally cool. To each his own. I'm just stating my opinion.

  @handyandyradio i don't mean to sound rude, but that could have been one of the worst analogies i've ever read. by your standards, Picasso's work wouldn't be considered art. by being a fan of skrillex and not calling his work music is like you don't even care for him at all. if you "love" dubstep and skrillex, YOU should consider him a pioneer of the music world, not something short of it.

Oh by the way, I didnt get on the guestlist for the skrillex gig, someone double booked the guestlist so I didnt force the issue. I was tired after work anyway.

And about 10pm in the evening I was all like "AHHH shit, I could be at the skrillex gig now"

Actually lol. it looks shit

I guess he gets paid good money to fanny about on a bit of staging. Crowd looks like they were having fun though.

As a bonus I got to see Little Dragon on sunday night at the same venue, and they were shit hot awesome on so many levels.

He certainly knows how to get a party going

I know rusties music count as "purple" or whatever but it's a 10 times more genius take on dubstep.

Wait... is the girl on the right wearing an Aphex Twin shirt? Sure looks like the logo...

Ah, nevermind - on closer inspection (and once the soap cleared my eyes), it appears to be some face in a circle...

I think that concert looks fucking awesome, and I mostly hate Skrillex (there are a couple songs I don't mind).

most of the graphics in that backdrop were 'sampled' from The Animatrix - The Second Renaissance

I really have very little artistic integrity at dances/concerts as long as they're fun. I'd prefer seeing a shitty artist like Skrillex perform a blinky and fun concert than to see a decent band do an okay concert.

What?

All I did was state some information pertinent to that video. My statement was neither an endorsement nor a critique.

Yeah, I know. I just figured your comment was semi-related to what I was saying.

Or you can do what aphex twin does and use footage of a sex-change operation.
