What's your opinion on SKRILLEX?

What's your opinion on SKRILLEX?
Posted on: 03.12.2011 by Oliva Propps
I seriously do not understand why he gets so much hate. His production is so fkn tight and he's living the life. Only slight problem I can see anyone may believe is he doesn't do much life, but in my opinion he doesn't need to if his songs are already bangin. He's made dubstep mainstream and it seems to me all the haters are underground kids who take pride in saying "I listened to dubstep before it was cool".
Would love to see everyone's opinion and quote me out if you agree/disagree with anything but say why

This question came up cause I'm doing a musicology report for Year 12 HSC and I chose Skrillex ...found alot of mixed opinions on the internet haha

...and because i warned you all, and after 11 pages this thread 'has' become p*ssy and the OP has got all the info he is likely to get:

Honestly dude, you made this thread to back up Sonny Moore. Anything anyone says against Skrillex you just straight up bash on them. Regardless of how it comes out. You want to hear peoples opinions and then tell them that they're idiots for their words against Skrillex.

I'm not throwing my two cents into this, and this thread is retarded.

THANKYOU! lol u gotta be able to respect all artists for the effort and production. (unless theyre full of themselves as a 'human being',aka, rebecca black hahaha)

If you don't like him, yeah cool, move on, do not care. But seriously the amount of guys that reckon they're from the 'underground' and say "Skrillex is too mainstream now so he is shit" is a freakin' joke.
Do you feel somewhat rebelious by not listening to what a majority of people listen to? Because if that's the case, that really touches my heart :3
It's like those wank indie guys they dress in a certain way, because they wanna stand out and look different to everyone else, but with the amount of them now, they all look the same.
Skrillex has awesome production skill, and there is no slight doubt about that, and he is well respected by other professionals.

So good luck to all of you believeing you are top notch shit by taking out on someone with such great success and skill, and a huge career forming before their eyes. (Y)

Jealousy makes me laugh these days.

But I cant remember anyone in this thread 'hating' for no reason. Lots of people have said completely valid negative things about his music or production and you've jumped down their throat or dismissed their opinions. Myself included.

Just accept that not everyone likes or appreciates the same things, and thats okay.
I absolutely love Venetian Snares' music, but I wouldn't dream of lecturing my mum on why she should appreciate his immense editing and choppage skills. Because that's just stupid.

woah, no i said i personally dont like original dubstep... i have a shitload of respect for it though because of the production behind them and more importantly the fact that without the origin, it wouldnt be where it is at today

Personally I believe hes actually pretty talented musically. He makes good electro, dubstep, and was in a band called From First to Last.

Im not a fan but I believe hes good, definitely better producers out there though

I decided not to take the time to read ALL the responses to this thread (after page 2 it seemed kinda repetitive) but as a dubstep promoter, artist, mc & dj, I'd like to put in my 2 cents. Skrillex tunes have top notch production value & as many have stated, I USED to play his tunes. As a Grime head, "Scatta" is one of my faves, & Sonny is a beast with FM8. I know plenty of his personal friends & not one of them has a bad thing to say about the guy. It's a bit sad actually that this drama has come up around him. The problem with Skrillex's tunes is they've become so overplayed & his style so over-copied that frankly, if a tune doesn't sound like Skrillex, the less-educated in the crowd will become bored & sometimes feel the need to tell everyone quite loudly during breakdowns that they want to hear "real dub" if that isn't just the most laughable statement. This happened to me once while dropping a Lee Scratch Perry tune as a palate cleanser at the end of a set & another in the midst of a mix between Skream & Matty G tunes. The disparity between fanbases is extremely evident as well, you'll get a crowd at a show say headlined by a Skrillex or Bare that you won't get at a show headlined by a Chase & Status or Antiserum. Here in Las Vegas as a result of the split in demographics, a lot of the heads that have more history with electronic music are asking for a different sound, be it Drum & Bass or Dubby or Purple or Glitch or more Minimal OG Dubstep stuff while the newer heads just want harder & more evil, more Metal samples, more hard Electro sounds etc. We actively try to cater to all lovers of bass music at my own event but it's starting to become like the east coast vs. west coast battle of electronic music with people getting violently offended if you speak negatively about their favorite artist or leaving the party if a DJ who doesn't play enough face melters/subby rollers goes on. It can sometimes be hard to remember that the point of this is all about having fun & entertaining people. I know I'm in it for life & for me at least, it looks like Dubstep (& bass music in general) could pay at least some of my bills very soon, and when the sound evolves into something else, me & the rest of us dedicated to our craft will still be up there playing something with some low end & the tourists will have moved on so I try not to get to worked up about it.

pretty much. With the OP is saying that dubstep is only about the whole lame current commercial sound and the origins of dubstep aren't good is like saying I like techno, but hate that whole early detroit movement. Or Guetta is amazing and owes nothing to Larry Levan, Frankie Knuckles and Derrick May.

Its incredibly sad and ultimately a very ignorant attitude toward music.

I agree with you, Skrillex is exactly as good as Rebecca Black.

See also: the appeal to popularity fallacy in logical reasoning.

The thing is, not liking their music is THE ONLY REASON for any person to dismiss a musical artist. Talking about technical skill (which I don't believe this particular artist has actually demonstrated) misses the point of music.

It's radio-clean heavy metal. I hated it when Def Leppard did it (and once gave up smoking cannabis because it almost made me like Def Leppard), and see no reason to change my opinion of radio-clean heavy metal now.

Maybe if Skrillex cut off one of his arms?

Making money isn't the point, and I don't want to make money playing the latest version of radio-safe heavy metal to hormonal teens.

I neither have respect or a lack of respect for Skrillex, because he is completely irrelevant to my life. The only thing I've heard of his that I liked is the ladder thing - and that's only because the 8-bit stuff is hilarious.

I don't play that tune, because I've found a bunch of 8-bit stuff that I believe is better ...
