What is your opinion on Skrillex?

[SharpGreen]

I do enjoy some skrillex songs, though mostly just what he has on Myspace, and his work with Korn. But that's it.

For some reason, I don't mind the one he did with the Doors, but anything other than that... just yawn.

[Jase]

pure ****.

I've never heard him and I intend to keep it that way, thankyouverymuch.

And yet your username is "Open Minded"? LOL

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 have no opinion, not even really sure who he is

[Starbuck84]

I think his music is great. Sometimes the more noisy the more I love it. :)

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.

I think these kids sum it up pretty well:
