awesomeperson Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I like how fake he is and still gets away with it, bet he doesn't even like his own tracks or electronic music in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velazquez Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I can sorta get why TECHNO CASUALS would be into Skrillex. I mean, if your main exposure to music is top 40, used as background noise & never really examined, it's fairly reasonable to assume that upon being exposed to Skrillex you might think "wow, this guy writes a perfectly upbeat pop song & then turns it into an insane wall of noise midway through. What an edgy, subversive dude!" Of course WATMM spends most of its time listening to, discussing, & producing electronic music, so when we hear it it sounds like some cheesy vst pop (and I say that as a big fan of vsts) with a tacked on basswob section that doesn't so much feel like controlled chaos as a guy flicking through some presets. If you listen to synth music regularly, & especially if you get a taste for making it yourself, it won't be long before you come to recognize how most popular sounds are made, & it takes an increasingly unique noise to wow you without it having an actual tune behind it. It's like trying to do a card trick for a room full of magicians. very well said. The only part I'd add, is the the room full of magicians never saw this coming: The white nerd doing dubstep and getting over big time. He's probably even boned Fake Becky.

Guest Lucy Faringold Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I think I just listened to a Skrillex track called 'Ruffneck' on Youtube but I'm not 100%. I honestly can't tell the difference between what's real and what's just people taking the piss. The video involved Santa getting involved in a punch up. Help me out here.

Guest Backson Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 i'm going to put this out there, and it may prove an unpopular opinion: I hate Skrillex 30% because his music is stupid and 70% because its so damn fun to hate that little fucking emo.

Cryptowen Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I've heard 4 Skrillex songs now, so I think I've got his formula figured out. This stuff might actually sound good if it had A. production values. Guys on Soundcloud with no budget can make a full sounding mix, Skrillex should be able to too B. the pop song parts were catchy & memorable C. there was more going on in the crazy sections than wobbing D. The crazy sounds were actually used to musical effect & not just for the crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lucy Faringold Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I don't care how passé Skrillex hate is; I can't believe how poor this new Bangarang Ep is. It's like he somehow got worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lucy Faringold Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I don't hate him as a person at all. His spectacular gifsmanship actually endeared him to me quite a bit. But this EP... It's like he's trying to prove he has more strings to his bow, but in doing so he's realised that far from even having a bow at all, he's actually standing naked in a forest with a fully-erect 200lb warthog stampeding towards him.
