i thought that was a good piece & more or less described my concert experience as well

hes a live show more than a recording artist, imo

yeah, good piece

This is a good piece IMO:

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.

A lot of people who aren't dubstep purists have a hate-on for Skrillz too tho!

What in the

Skrillex ‏
@Skrillex

I wish I was aloud to use the n word sometimes (in a non racist way of course)

yeah, that o_O moment was discussed upthread.

Got it, thought it was just posted (saw the Apr 26 date, missed the 2011 part!)

I had to unretweet that so I could retweet it again.

why is there a firestorm over this today

it was in that Jezebel hipster racism article

ah

aloud

I totally want a Skrillex button for all of my board games, I'd be grinning just like the guy in the video

that video + shrooms = i would literally die.

I was hoping that video was why this thread got revived.
