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 Cheers | |

| Debby Ramshur 03.12.2011 | This isn't about Skrillex, but one thing I have noticed lately is, that Dubstep loses a lot of its appeal by being played on shitty sound systems. My experience is that if my friends drag me to one of those mainstream "clubs" where i get to hear Skrillex and some other cheesy Dubstep tunes tend to have below par speakers. My friends don't really care, because they have other things to care about (booze, getting laid... I should probably try this as well) but my experience is spoiled by the fact that I could hear those tunes in better quality at home on my headphones. I've heard Chase & Status and Nero play at a festival this summer and though I am not exactly a fan of their interpretation of Dubstep or DnB (and i find it is pretty close to what Skrillex is doing) or dubstep in general, I somehow enjoyed the show partly because the sound on an L'Acoustics K1 array was just impressive. You could argue that this should be true for all kinds of music (Top40 not so much as it is designed for terrible car radios anyway.. ), for Dubstep it removes the most defining part of the music. I believe it is worth discussing how the quality of a sound system in a club can totally change the perception of music. Generally I see that clubs that cater to "music enthusiasts" within a specific genre invest a lot more in the quality of their sound systems. Would the average Top40 club goer enjoy their evening more if the clubs had better speakers? Or do they actually like it more without proper bass? Probably, since I see kids blasting Skrillex et cetera from their phones all day... And for Srillex, I'd like to stick to a quote by John Mendez: "So there's no excuse, I believe, to listen to shitty music |
| Chas Giraldez 03.12.2011 | I consider the original sound something along these lines: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AN-P...eature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMaVq-_Ta-w http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNStVlJWy88 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miF4L...eature=related |

Back to the OP. I don't like Skrillex. I don't like tearout dubstep. It's too much noise for me to actually enjoy. I'm not sure why people care that there are others that don't like him. It's the internet and most people can't be civilized with the way they express their feelings, but then again who cares about those dicks. Anyone in the spotlight is going to have people who don't like them. Not everyone can have a high level of respect like Daft Punk per se. And maybe there is a reason for that. |

I don't like what came with Skrillex getting popular however. the amount of hipsters and posers coming out just because it [dubstep] is getting popular just sickens me. |
| Kesha Orde 03.12.2011 | ^^^ This is what I was believeing too, I just don't see it as dubstep at all. Also, to the OP [I believe] stating that he can do 'every genre' because he makes 'dubstep', electro, and [this hurts me to type it] complextro, SERIOUSLY those are all really similar and he makes them in a very similar way. |
| Chas Giraldez 03.12.2011 | My problem is that people call Skrillex's music dubstep... when its obviously not. The only way it resembles dubstep these days is that its produced at 140 bpm, but sounds like 70. Otherwise, its just rave electro tbh. Wheres the "dub" in his sound? "Dub" is meant to imply a chilled out moody feel and the "step" I would assume meaning its definitive beat structure, if it actually holds that much meaning . Calling skrillexs music dubstep would be like saying the screaming kid in the supermarket calm and serene. |

| Jonathan Chiuchiolo 03.12.2011 | ahh, have you heard of fidgit, that is all lfo, and around before skrillex, you nave a skewed perception because, that was probably your first introduction, be assured skrillex didn't invent anything, he used a formula of dubstep, but introduced bright bell synths and autotuned vocals, John B did the exact same thing with DnB a few years ago he just didn't become mainstream, he probably tried but the world wasn't ready for broken beats... Sure Skrillex has his own individual slant on the sound, however, it is so individual it all sounds the same, cause he uses the same sound formula, just changing the patterns the sounds are played. |

| Oliva Propps 03.12.2011 | not gunna claim that scary monsters is the best dubstep track ever made; but its pretty damn amazing the fact it spread dubstep around the world, in which other current electro artists and new musicians have approached the scene and made crazy mutha tracks which blow the fuak out of everyones minds but that means without skrillex... the electro scene wouldnt be influenced by dubstep as we see it today. also it makes me lol when i see people comment on things like new kill the noise videos saying "skrillex is gay"... dumb fecks; kill the noise is signed to OWSLA, aka, skrillex's label, hahahaha |
