Thraed of Skrillex

C'mon Tiesto became famous in the US like a decade after Europe. Even Latinamerica got Tiesto before the states.

...but tiesto is european in the first place, it's not uncommon for the us to get latepassed on anything that's not initially out of the us. he was still ridic big here regardless of where he was big first

i saw a girl who looked like skrillex today.

a friend of mine just gave herself a skrillex 'do. she's had thick black glasses for a while now too.

would give job at mindgarden

lol! mindvalley

i fucked that up by confusing it with a soulstrut meme

mindhead

the more I think about his hair the more terrible I think it is

he kinda reminds me of Bib Fortuna

lol otm

why him? there's thousands of dubstep artists right now that sound pretty much the same. It's hard to differentiate them by sound so I'm thinking this guy is branding himself better than the others. The look and personality you portray are more important than music itself. He's a pop icon now, no? Anyone following the popscene more than 10 minutes can tell it's more about style than content.

this is from a while back and has been addressed, but much as i respect Moka, i don't like this sort of dismissal of pop. it seems way too broad and presumptive to mean anything. even when i don't like popular music, i figure that there's some musical reason for its popularity. image and moment and all those other factors have a huge impact, obviously, but skrillex sounds pretty distinctive to me, both in the melodies and the breakdowns. i can see why people would like his music in particular and not just "that sound". 3 grammys was ridic tho.

Skrillex Uses Satanic and Homosexual Influence to Win Grammys

From http://christwire.org/2012/02/skrillex-uses-satanic-and-homosexual-influence-to-win-grammys/

Skrillex, a Gothic icon and Lesbian fashionista whose name is Latin for “Homosexual Satan Wasp”, is the biggest act in Dubstep today — a music genre founded on consuming massive amounts of drugs and having raucous pre-marital sex with numerous partners — and his winnings at the 2012 Grammys prove that his satanic presence will be felt for years to come. As long as Skrillex wins Grammys and is accepted by mainstream media, he will claim souls for Satan and molest our children through his perverse philosophy of futuristic devil machine music.

Skrillex is the inventor of “dubstep” whose sole purpose is to provide a “drop” — common youth terminology for procuring and snorting drugs. In addition, the rhythm patterns he employs in his “music” are known to cause seizures to certain people, which provides ample opportunity for other concert-goers to rape said afflicted person(s).

Skrillex, a known emosexual, was born Sonny Moore. He rose to fame with the satanic Rock ‘n roll band “From First To Last” (a band name that celebrates falling from God’s grace) and soon parlayed that success into something much more blasphemous; something that incorporates elements of Warhol-era rampant homosexuality and perversion, electronic “music” and lesbian-influenced haircuts. It is rumored that 1 in 3 women are raped at a Skrillex concert and forced to abort their children soon after.

Over 100% of homosexual gays listen to, or have listened to Skrillex in their life — mostly while participating in door-to-door recruitment for sex orgies or attempting to molest children in one of the patented “Rape Vans” used by the gay homo community.

In addition, Skrillex has launched a grotesque fashion trend, where upon weak-minded woman destroy their hallowed vessels of child birthing by SHAVING the side of their head — the same thing responsible for the downfall of Samson is being ENCOURAGED by this gnome-ish pervert. Skrillex will stop at nothing to get every teen in America hooked on dubstep and “ecstasy” (a potent street drug responsible for terrorism).

(Skrillex, shown here drinking “ecstasy”, in particular the potent “X3″ version)

As a proud parent of four, healthy, able-bodied children, I urge all fellow parents to think thrice before allowing their own children to attend a dubstep show. These shows are full of unemployed “Occupiers” who seek to rape and maim your children and family life. Skrillex fans are MORE likely to rob a gas station and set a retirement home on fire than 1000% of Christians.

Please join with me in boycotting dubstep and this evil, satanic harbinger of deceit.

Homosexual Satan Wasp!

That's not parody, is it?

It's parody, but 'Homosexual Satan Wasp' is an A+++ screen name.

Okay good. After that horrible US house debate on contraception, I'm willing to believe anything about the religious right.

The more successful you are IRL, the more hate you attract URL.

This this gonna be like the other A/V Club music essasys where it's like one really good point about something everyone is already talking about but somehow expanded into 12 paragraphs

yeah I'm kind of sick of the "why do so many people hate this guy, isn't it like how parents of teens hated Elvis?" argument

one really good point about something everyone is already talking about but somehow expanded into 12 paragraphs

Isn't this how music journalism works in general?

is skrillex really that hated? seems like he went from underground famous to accepted/appreciated in a very short time frame

maybe not hated but he's def still a punchline in a way few other artists are

People I know who hate Skrillex haaaaaaaaaaaate Skrillex.

Yeah, but so many people who hate Skrillex are douchey dubstep "purists," but nevertheless, your point stands, rev.

i kinda dislike dubstep in general but i really do get the feeling that if you're not seeing this stuff live or with bigass speakers, it's kinda shit, plus there's the whole douchy-16-year-old element

Every time I see bros in a jeep bumping something with wub wub bass, I assume I am hearing Skrillex. i could be wrong.

Yeah, but so many people who hate Skrillex are douchey dubstep "purists," but nevertheless, your point stands, rev.
