LoLz! :)
I'm curious as to why you think so?
I dislike his music, but don't hate him.
Skrillex - Music producer by day, vampire hunter by night!

is it because he likes to get his gay on with joel?
man love moment right there
Oh come on! Skrillex is becomming the new 52" touch screen topic on djtt.
He runs a good party.
Everything he does as a DJ is incredibly simplistic. But he doesn't screw up and ruin things based on what I've seen. And his sets can be fun.
Keep in mind, I've only seen him once. It was at the beatport beach party a few weeks ago…lots of fun people and bikinis, so that might have influenced my opinion of him.
So yeah…shit DJ but decent at running a party, which is his primary goal. I certainly don't hate him just because I feel like I'm a better DJ…he's doing something right that I'm not, and until I figure that out, I don't have a reason to hate him.
its all beeps and loud noises
I can not understand this hype about Skrillex. And I don't like him or his music.
sorry for the useless comment. just had to let it out
remember that time he told chunk to do the truffle shuffle?

It's simply because ...
I USE TO like Dubstep, But ever since he came along people have been bad mouthing it because his music isn't atall good if i'm being honest, Just noise squeeks and bleeps. (I'm not saying i'm better or anything) But the hype around him is stupid.
He's giving dubstep a bad name where i'm from.
And any video's i've watched of him dj'ing it's just him launching clips in ableton and adding a flanger once every 2 minutes >.<
Sorry if i'm sounding stupid or naggy, I just do not like him or his music.
Sickening is the word i use to describe it.
yeah. really now people...
this.

since no one else is willing to say it:
who the hell is the OP? 86 posts, i havnt seen his name since ive joined and he makes all of two posts. come on guys, im surprised you didnt just give him your whole kitchen.
actually, in a wierd way, thank you op. now i had a reason to post that vid that i watched 10 minutes ago. now i can also unbookmark it now that its on here.
obv.troll is obv.
feed at your own risk.
I think his music is good, But not the best.
Don't think his a great dj. But he must be doing something right as his doing alot of shows, he also went from being nobody to someone in less than a year.
And from watching youtube clips of him he rocks the place and imo as long as people are having a good time it dosnt matter what sort of skills good or bad a dj has.
what about having to cancel a show cause his macbook shit the bed? with no backup?
kinda a big fuckup right there.....:eek:
dont get me wrong, i dont mind the guy (i identify with him cause i used to listen to from first to last back in the day), but i do agree he just pushes a few buttons and then jumps on a table -- which hey, is an awesome party appearantly.
his music is fun, live shows very simplistic like many have mentioned. He doesnt really "DJ" instead he just presses play on a cd player, smokes a cigarette and crowd surfs. He isnt DUBSTEP, more of a combination of electrohouse and dubstep. ElectroDUBhouse.
Also, when he canceled his show because his laptop crashed, major major major pathetic moment there.
He is oknly successful cause he made all his music contacts when he was in From First To Last. And used them to launch into EDM

I wouldn't go that far. He's not exactly revolutionary, tbh. It's just angry, electronic (redundant but you get what I mean) dubstep. Although I do like his electro and fidget productions, and I DO have a bias against mainstream dubstep.
Also, I don't think he's a good dj, but then again, I don't think that's the point. His musical background was never being a dj, it's all music production and performance, he probably just jumped into djing because it complimented his productions.
I don't know about anybody else but speaking for myself i wasn't thinking about that. In fact i never look at the post count of any member unless i think their spamming. This is a forum people are entitled to their opinions no matter how many posts they have. I mean for example look at my post count which is nothing compared to yours but i still see myself as an active forum member i only post when> I need help, Iv a question to ask, i have an opinion on the matter the thread is directed towards, i can help someone with their problem, i can answer a question someone has or just generally have something productive to say.
I dont post to get my post count up. I mean some of the some of the productive/ helpful posts that i have read are from people with a low post count this is not a popularity contest dude.
the post count wasnt my point. my troll account on another site still has maybe 10 posts.
my point was the post count in combination with the beaten to death topic thrown in with some of my own grumpiness during the time of the post
same here. just add 'trolling' in after spamming
you can read http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/trolling [potentially NSFW]
or read:
the simplest way to explain it is: purposly saying or doing things with the intent on pissing peopl off or waisting their time.
bait is something like
"hey guys, obama is a n*****. i think he made the country burn to the ground with the A.D.I.S. he put in my familys walets"
note the parts that would get people mad.
- political
- racism
- stating an extreme as fact
- accusations
- possibly intentional misspelling
it can simply be as simple as going to the serato forums and saying serato sucks because it has NO effects
- dissing a fanbase
- stating something as fact when its not
it can also get as subtle as mentioning someones name when you know the likely ending will be a thread derailment (here that would be 'tiesto' or 'deadmau5')
feeding the troll is taking the bait and replying to it.
this is what i meant by "im surprised you guys didnt give him your whole kitchen"
in other words, you fed him, but you might has well gone all out and did what he wanted you to do
note: i used 'he' as an example and not statement
the act of trolling continue by the troll as if he was the character ho portrayed in the original post.
so on serato his reply to
"it does have effects, and in fact they have gotten better"
would be something like
"yeah, but theres only like 2 it also looks bad and now everyone has colord wave forms not just you"
- 2 instances of false fact
- potential intentional misspelling
- making it now about you and the 1 person, instead of the group. (could bait more people into jumping in)
I can't stand Skrillex as a DJ, but I like his work as a producer.
Honestly, I enjoy his music. He's hitting that hard niche of Dubstep that's going viral. And he does it well.
What bothers me about him is that he's riding the Deadmau5 train on that label, and so anyone associated with Deadmau5 immediately has thought Skrillex's shit doesn't stink. And while I like some of Deadmau5's stuff, I can almost consistently say I dislike his fanbase.
The problem with these guys, and Skrillex in general, is that they aren't in the scene for the right reasons. They are in it for the "scene" itself, and not the music I feel. He's an ex-indie rocker who said hey, I bet I could make some of that wobbly Dubstep. He's a skilled musician, I just don't think his heart is with it.
Cinema - Benny Benassi Skrillex Remix is fucking badass.
Way too many haters, for no other reason then they're probably jealous. Get the fuck off your high horse, and if you still don't understand that music is subjective then I don't know what the fuck you're doing on these forums, not to mention in life. Go get yourself a fucking education and stimulate your fucking un used brain.
I don't care if you don't like him, but if you don't get what I just posted you're a fucking idiot. If you're older then 18 and you don't get it, you seriously are a complete moron.
Look, his music isn't for everyone, I even don't like a good chunk of his work. But I can still admit that he has mad production skills even if his DJing isn't the most technical.
So stop bein' all jelly of his wild fame, production skills n' such... and grow up.
Tired of seeing hate thread on people with actual skill instead of complete idiots like Pauly D (who by the way is either just really stupid or fantastic at milking his fame into an assload of money... probably a combination of the two.)
/Thread.
ya total jelly
anyone that gets into an argument over post counts, trolling, and "they think he isnt into it" (key word: think) is jelly.
who cares what label he rides... if you dont like the shit, change the channel. that simple.
I think this thread needs to be locked, thus...
IBTF and IBTL.
