What is your opinion on Skrillex?


Recommended Posts

I agree with Nik,

Ironically I notice that your location is Leicester. I was there last year and walking home with my gf and her mate 4 chavs roll up in what can only be described as a KA converted into a tank with skrillex playing trying to throw eggs at us.

That summed up the culture for me really.

I like how people here are trying to make out that music they don't like is, not only inferior to what they like, but also listened to by inferior people.

Hmmm...

I dislike it when people used to do this over HipHop, mostly metalheads who accused them of not playing instruments or such.

But commercial dubstep has devolved into a joke. Stick a wob wob on something, a bass scream and call it dubstep. And Skrillex as a DJ is USELESS. As a producer he is "obvious" at best.

As for people who listen to dubstep? Sorry but in the UK they fit into a very easily defined category. I see it ALL the time when DJing, and it's ALWAYS (like 100% of the time) the same cliche's again and again!

The simplicity and ease at which dubstep is created doesn't nesscarily make it "less good". But yea, fair points I guess.

Not by definition no, but in practise any 10 year old kid can fire up an online dubstep studio, put their Bieber in, post it to youtube and thus make the overall genre less.

I've heard one or two (I'm embarrassed to say this) kind of catchy songs from Skrillex, but dub step in general is absolute garbage. I think it's funny, when my parents were young, their parents would have said that what they listen to isn't music, it's just noise. When I was a kid, my parents would say that about my music. Now enter dub step, and it literally is just noise. It's like you took the joke, then you beat it to death, and then were proud of it.

And don't try to act like dubstep is your new ****. We've had that for a long time, and it was just as annoying when I had to listen to it when my modem dialed up to the internet back in the day as it is now.

    • Limited Prime Day deal sees Amazon Echo Show 11 is at its lowest price yet by Ivan Jenic The Amazon Echo Show 11 is currently $149.99 on Amazon during Prime Day, down from $219.99. That's 32% off and $70 saved on Amazon's newest mid-size smart display (purchase link below). As its name suggests, the Echo Show 11 features a 11” Full-HD touchscreen, which is a decent upgrade over the Echo Show 8. It offers 60% more viewing area, which makes a genuine difference for recipes, calendars, video calls, or any other scenario where the smaller display can feel a bit cramped. The Show 11 is built around Alexa+, Amazon's more capable AI assistant that can handle natural conversation. You can make reservations, order groceries, and find content based on your preferences, instead of always having to give it precise commands. There’s also the Omnisense technology, which adds ambient awareness, allowing the device to trigger routines based on temperature, presence detection, or visual cues. Smart home control is built in without needing a separate hub, and the home screen doubles as a photo slideshow when not in use. Taking all of this into account, the Show 11 is a perfect smart addition to your kitchen counter or living room. At $149.99, this is a strong Prime Day buy for anyone already in the Amazon ecosystem or looking to build one out.

    • Dang that sucks. I just started using this feature instead of Pushbullet.
    • I use my devices until the very end. I used my old desktop computer for 16 years, my OnePlus 5T phone for 8 years and my LG Gram laptop for 7 years. Even though they are still working, there are no more security updates for most of them (Windows 7 ESU, Android 12 ROM and the LG Gram because I wanted an ARM based laptop).
