Why is Skrillex a shitstain on the EDM community?
    #18970336 - 10/12/13 10:53 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

And what defines a shitstain?

someone who achieves more success then more talented people, and gets better equipment, better gigs and better royalties, because "the mainstream" (THE AUDIENCE) decided to give so much praise for the fact he "is who he is".

he is who he is because everyone helped him become the epitome of some kind of popular "dubstep" trend, and all because they decided it... not because he was worthy of it.

that's a shitstain.

not just by a record label, but by popular opinion. like so many others, he's be propped up as the most "to-be hip" " dubstep artist, which of course, Dubstep being the most prevalent and "mainstream hitting" electronica to come out of any decade... notice that electronica is becoming much more of thing nowadays, well it's because of a bunch of people getting a bunch of other people into some stuff;... and that's cool... except... well, the mass audience usually does know fuck all about any "critiquing" of music, and to the benefit of the "mass audience" and shitty musicians alike... because the people who are doing the abdicating the next "pop idol" are for the lack of a better term... morons.

but that's ok. everyone caters to morons. it's only the destitute starving artists, teachers, and righteous that gets left to dust.

survival of the fittest... heh... more like forced survival of the dumbest.

Just like Pretty Lights tried talking shit about Danny Brown, and Danny Brown said he didn't realize Pretty Lights was a group, not a show.  EDM is slack, Hip Hop will always reign supreme.

nah, not really.  listen to the top 20.  Most of those songs aren't popular because they are good.  Its just what is given and promoted and who has the money.  People just consume what is given to them....

yeah. skillrex is just a puppet. his music would probably be better IF he wasn't catering to a bunch of idiots. i'm sure he is not an idiot himself. no one would dress in that hipster garb for any REAL reason.

i agree with Danny Brown. but you know, hip hop became some whack shit, and you know there is good shit everywhere you just gotta look through the glaze of whackness perpetrated by the media, and that's the same with electronic music.

plus, Pretty Lights is actually not half bad. at least they don't cater to any particular beliefs about their musical style and do something more "unique" then alot of electronic groups or artists.

pretty lights is dope.  and as a label they have good talent.  Gramatik is legit. 

I don;t know much about the politics surrounding this particular record label, i just dig some of their sounds..

First sensible thing I've heard you say. lol

Ok just messing with you, but yeah, mostly people have a god-awful shitty taste in music these days. Way worse than 30/40 years ago. Major record labels pay the radio stations and tv music stations to play what they want...then the easily-influenced public eats it up.

Dubstep is cool, I like it...but it's not as good as everyone makes it out to be. Just popular now because it is the newest genre of EDM. It is basically slowed-down Drum & Bass music, which is what I first thought it was when I heard it a few years ago for the first time.

Skrillex seems like a cool dude, seen him in interviews on YouTube, so I hate talking down on him because he is getting it.

Skrillex fucking blows.  There was like a two year span where every chick I talked to was like, "have you heard of skrillex??????"  *expression of mind blown*.  Thankfully that time is over.  I give him props solely because after he got popular, far better dubstep artists began to actively tour.

Everyone posting in this thread (including me) knows damn well they would switch places with Skrillex ASAP.

Calling him a "shitstain" on the EDM scene is a bit too harsh. If you dont like Dubstep or his music then please try to be mature about it. I know it will be hard for you immature fucks.

yeah can't hate a guy for making money and getting mad bitches for being sub-par.

Blame the retarded kids who suddenly thought electronic was cool, and will spend big bucks to have everything cool shat on and turned into high pitch shrieks.
