Why is skrillex so popular? 2011-07-27 05:08:12


its amazing how popular skrillex got within a short amount of time, 2 EP's a handfull of remixes and some singles here and there and now he's bigger than more accomplished acts? Oh wait, MAYBE because he's on Mau5trap and all the Deadmau5 fans are just dick-riding everything related to him.

/rant

maybe.

it's because he's gay.

who the fuck is skrillex?
who the fuck is Mau5trap or Deadmau5?...
am I the only one who's lost?

You are obviously not around annoying underclassmen a lot.
right?

I've heard of Deadmau5 (i.e. I've heard the name). Other than that I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT

Have you listened to his music? It's very good.

Response to Why is skrillex so popular? 2011-07-27 05:16:06


Skrillex is just catchy (which is why he's popular, not that he's on Mau5trap). He's honestly not even close to being the best in genres he produces for and personally I find it kind of sad that his name is the first people think of when they hear dubstep or electro house.

Yeah, if you want to listen to some shit by a teenaged bitch-clown-gone-zombie, go right ahead and listen to everything Zed tapes together

The Original Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites made by Skrillex whose been DJing since he was about 11

Skril got popular for his marketing scheem and very clear bass drops hits and understanding of how to get bass to the people... he sighned on with a good agent who books him constantly and he is working overtime all the time... he can pump out a half decent remix in a few minuets...
he's studied and still fresh... he unfortunatly will be replaced soon by a younger version of him self

Never heard of him.
But judging by the 'Yellowcard' in your screen name, I'm gonna go out on a limb and decide that your taste in music is shit, and not listen to your redundant rant.

Skrillex has too many bangers

Response to Why is skrillex so popular? 2011-07-27 18:55:22


His music contains bass drops and wobble bass. That's all most teenagers of today need to think a song is amazing. It's a shame, really.

Response to Why is skrillex so popular? 2011-07-27 18:58:51


I have been browsing around the youtube's and want to mention I like noisestorm better. Personal preference really. yup, odd to know the guy making this is like 16. yeah....

Musicians who DJ and make dubstep.
Skrillex
deadmau5
From what it seems, mau5trap and deadmau5 are the same person.
