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 | |
| Khadijah Wojtach 03.12.2011 | I like some of his tracks, but as with much eletro house inspired "dubstep" (brostep, whatever you want to call it), it pretty much sounds the same. I feel like I've heard all of what Skrillex has to offer after hearing Syndicate, Ruffneck Bass, Nice Sprits and Monster and Cinema Remix. Hopefully future will prove me wrong, but I doubt it. What I don't understand is why this discussion keeps popping up. These threads are so long and tiring to read. Start threads with upcoming artists instead. I don't care what the general public believes of Skrillex. I'm not DJing to just play Top 40, I'm DJing because I love to find new and great music. Skrillex was new and great when he first came out - now he's pretty just a brand for "brostep". Yeah I have double standards (?) posting in this thread, but come on. This discussion is getting old and we're getting nowhere. Still these threads are some of the most active. |
| Lynell Piechocinski 03.12.2011 | I just don't listen to dubstep, and when i hear it somewhere i even don't care who is the artist e.t.c. Thats why i don't care about skrillex Peace |
| Valeri Babiak 03.12.2011 | I have to fess to playing Scary Monsters and Evil Sprites in my set last evening (*slaps own face with wet 3 week old kipper*). |
| Matt Kane 03.12.2011 | i just read the question und none of the thread. why isn |
| Shala Lamken 03.12.2011 | I listen to Skrillex on my personal time. I've never played his stuff at a party. I'd probably have people staring at me. His stuff is out there, and it's either love it or hate it, from what I've seen. -Promises -Scary Sprites or whatever it's called love those two |
| Valeri Babiak 03.12.2011 | I saw him at Rockcity in Nottingham on Wednesday evening
, totally blew the fooking roof off!!! I dont believe his work is the most technical or artistic in the world by far but it still rocks bodies on the dance floor and at the end of the day isnt that why we do it!! If people enjoy our music then great for them. If you dont like it dont go to his gigs! I believe by making dubstep commercial like this it'll lead new ears that may not of heard these sounds to the more underground music and increase that fan base. My one gripe... he didnt even have a pair of cans! His set was blatantly pre recorded and he knob twiddled the whole thing (very good knob twiddling!). Would of at least liked to see him pretend to mix!! haha |

Luckly those experiences don't happen every week |

| Kesha Orde 03.12.2011 | I'm not fully clear on what your report is about? Do people like Skrillex? Why do people like/dislike Skrillex? I personally really enjoyed Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites the first time I heard it, but I feel that he pretty much laid all his cards out with that one tune. I havn't heard anything since that was radically different, or evolved. I'm really trying hard not to say "It all sounds the same". I also don't feel much of a connection to the typical crowd that are into his stuff, perhaps I would of when I was 17-18. And finally, let's be honest, he looks like a complete 'tard. |
| Rosita Bourdeaux 03.12.2011 | This thread should get at least 7 pages |
| Deeann Cheron 03.12.2011 | I had a middle age dude come up yo to me at the latest wedding I DJ'd right when I was playing some loved up tracks and had quite a few couples grooving & asked me the now infamous line "hey bro, got any skrillex" I lol'd |

I mean i saw i guy get boo'd and people chanting "dubstep" while he was playing, cuz he wasn't playing dubstep...wtf! I remember going to shows and u could pretty much find any genre you liked in one of the rooms eventually. Now its like it'll be like 2 -3 rooms of just dubstep and everyones faces r melting and its a huge moshpit. Now i don't really go out on weekends and just hit up the local house evening s and Konkrete Jungle which are during the week. On weekends everything is pretty much dubstep. I'll probably just wait for this whole craze to die down a bit, and hopefully it will go back to every genre being represented and people actually getting down instead of just beating the shit out of each other...or until i realize i'm probably just getting old...heh |

| Belle Tufnell 03.12.2011 | Shit, if I had to write about artist and music I was interested in, I would have graduated along time ago(still never did)(GO TO SCHOOL!), and would have never ditched. |

| Randell Koper 03.12.2011 | I don't like his music. I don't care about his work, life or anything. I hope all the people that has got in to EDM because of the new dubstep wave remains and start listening to other genres. Its nice to have a new influx of people in to the scene. Also, I dont like the whole trend of "live acts" boring as hell. I hate people also. |
| Belle Tufnell 03.12.2011 | Why are we talking about another dudes life again? All I know is homeboy is getting laid, while some of you here are hating and typing away. |

I just couldn't get into that particular style of his live so left halfway through his set. Would I go see him again - NO Do I like his sound - some of it yes Do I like him - I have never met him so reserve comment. thats about all I got other than I wish him all the best as he is doing well for himself so good for him. haters gona hate, Im no hater so meh, |

Beyond this, I don't feel any particular antipathy toward Skrillex (as part of the commercial establishment there's a lot worse out there). |
| Deeann Cheron 03.12.2011 | who cares what ones opinion of skrillex is, each to there own, This will only turn in to a slanging match, Each to there own. Different folks, different stroke. Haters gona hate, hippies gona love. there are hundreds of one liners that could be used. /close thread |
| Glennis Cartin 03.12.2011 | End of the day, taste music is a personal thing. For example, my girlfriend loves to listen to 90's girly pop. Is her taste bad, or wrong? Does it defile the genre of pop? I believe no, as everyone simply wants to listen to whatever makes them happy. In this regard, I give Sonny credit for taking a genre and exposing millions of people to it, giving them the pleasure of listening to his music. That said, I dont like dupstep (or Skrillex's music, though some of it is catchy) however kudos to him for making it. I heard once that he tries to bring the atmosphere of a metal concert to EDM, and I certainly believe that he's succeed in doing so. Just dont ask me to play it (and FaunKeH - I wish I'd thought of this, getting a community to write my HSC for me! Points to you bro!) |
| Yong Aptekar 03.12.2011 | The guy is collaborating with so many people, has been nominated for a grammy, and has my 4 year old singing "cinema". He has some skill, and a following, despite what people may say, the dude has risen up fast! My hat is off to him, yes there is better dubstep out there, but there is also worse. I like the guys music, no drama here |
| nayit ruiz jaramillo 03.12.2011 | Ok no ive changed my mind. Thread open. Prove me wrong and have a sensible debate about Skrillex. Im going to bed, when i get up if i find piss everywhere this subject is banned FOREVER. |
| nayit ruiz jaramillo 03.12.2011 | NO. We are not going there. Can open worms everywhere. Just like the kid that cannot be trusted not to piss on you next to you in the school toilet, this community cannot have a discussion on Skrillex without everyone pissing everywhere. We have had 10s of threads on this exact subject so... Anyone wishing to help the OP with his studies can PM some relevant thoughts. [closed] |
