Honestly I can't say 100% that the claim "his music is produced by others is true"etc

 

it really comes down to opinions

well, it absolutely doesn't just come down to opinions. either he makes those tracks, or he doesn't. you can have your opinion about whether or not he actually does, but that would be a whole other separate thing from the actual fact of the matter.

 

but i don't really know too much or care much either way. i mean i feel like the dude is a total fraud if someone is ghost producing his trax, but i think the music is so shallow that it doesn't really matter to me much either way.

 

 

on the whole thing about how nice he is, i always think 'so fing what' anytime someone says that. there are plenty of nice people out there who dont get to become quadrillionaires and famous simply for being nice. he isn't famous for his niceness. he's famous for his (or what is allegedly his) music. the music, i don't HATE it, i'm just disappointed that it couldn't have been something with a little more depth or even occasionally some depth thrown in. but his being nice doesn't have anything to do with anything. people constantly bringing that up just because everyone else did and because they cant think about anything original to say about him..

 

fukin yanni might be nice. barry manilow might be a super nice guy. who gives a fuck. stop saying how nice skrillex is ppl. it's unoriginal comment cancer. it'd be one thing if it was just occasionally observed, but instead it's like a meme to talk about how nice skrillex is. fuking ridiculous

 

I meant the opinions thing for whether or not people like his music. Of course yes it's either fact that he does or doesn't produce his tracks, but there's some evidence saying he does produce his tracks. I think skrillex's music is more appropriate for live performances, it's really not all that good at home. Driving around or exercising are nice times for his music too. I agree that his tracks don't have a lot of depth but that doesn't mean they aren't good or bad.

 

I think it's nice to know he's a nice guy, makes me more likely to like his music, but I don't think that should be used as a way to argue his music is good.

Honestly I can't say 100% that the claim "his music is produced by others is true" (it was said earlier in the thread) it doesn't seem to be the case. He has a lot of clips of him in the studio making tracks. We know that he at least sings for some of his songs, so even if he doesn't produce it's not like he doesn't do anything. But he has played incomplete tunes before... and said that he just made them a bit ago, so I think that would be somewhat indicative that he's writing his own music. I guess there's no solid proof but I feel like he writes his own music. I suppose you could make claims like this for lots of other musicians though, even ones that are typically lauded on these forums.

Also he's been making electronic music for a while, almost before he was in FFTL:

That's a cute little track (taken in context).

First of all, arguing about someone's music whether it sucks or not is stupid. If you enjoy it, you're getting a dopamine dose from your brain regardless of the "quality" of its content. From a biology standpoint, it doesn't matter one bit.

 

Secondly, Skrillex sucks.

lol

Also, sucking is well known to produce dopamine in love life. On both sides of the fence, btw. So the more it sucks, the higher the potential dopamine shots. ;D

He was 15/16 at the time, I think it's nicely written but production is meh. He has two other tracks from the era, one he wrote for his girlfriend and a somewhat poor attempt at rap (halfway through the song his buddy's phone rings and it's a remix from aphex twin's 26 mixes album, which I thought was neat)
