i personally am tired of him because he is not that good - he has gotten hugely popular making music that many here feel is just simple, tired, and samey. I really like faxing berlin and jaded but as time went on I saw that for the most part his songs consist of either retreads of faxing berlin or generic farty house which I already detested long before I knew the name deadmau5. (besides the Harder Better Faster Stronger Remix - thats still a fun track imo)

And then when he gets an essential mix he uses all his own tracks? not cool. Some of the angst in that thread was I think more a general disdain for how far the essential mix has fallen though, not just hating on the mau5. Sorry, but when Deadmau5 and Steve Aoki get an EM, it is no longer the 'Legendary' Essential mix.

as far as the hatred here on TA, i feel some are a little over the top by insulting him personally, but the fact remains that he is a one or two trick pony (very prolific, very good marketing, hardworking, etc) who makes for the most part pretty blah dance music, and people just rip on him because the music really is not worth the hype.

No offense, and there's stuff Deadmau5 has made in the past that I like, but for the most part I'm just tired of it. But like all fads there are stupid people who will go nuts for it, and more power to him making the music he likes and getting gigs and making $$. But here on TA we do not take kindly to sellouts, and that's why the hatred.

Its the classic "why is he a well known Dj and im still just Such n Such"

This forum seems to suffer from that quite often. Becuase every DJ thats talked about here there are 20 pages of how awfull they are and 3 replies that the guy/girl is actually good.

Ill leave my peace at this. Are Deadmau5's CD selling... yes. So that means theres alot of people that wanna hear what hes playing. Hes doing something right that people that bitch about him just aint doing.

Well i don't hate him, he's one of the countless guys that produce the same generic & lazy sound again & again, i am absolutely indifferent to what he's making and thus never try to listen specificaly to his work.

citizens are confused as to why deadmau5 is nearly universally hated?

For me, it is not hatred. It is complete and utter disbelief that someone can continue to enjoy producing the same song for as long as he has. I would have gotten really bored with that sound by now.

Shouldn't all these posts be on the first page. So much gash being posted when all you need are these 2 posts to sum up these rational and valid reasons!

Joe The Plumber doesn't care because Deadmau5 is Canadian.

Doug The Logger, on the other hand, has expressed admiration for Deadmau5' beats. Since they all go thump-chk, thump-chk, thump-chk, Doug The Logger can get into a good rhythm for chopping wood.

You have that line saved somewhere so you can copy-paste it to every thread, don't you?

I respect deadmau5 but I just happen to not like most of his productions, its just not my taste
he certainly shouldn't be hated because after all both the number 1 and number 2 dj's in the world last year named deadmau5 "producer of the year"

And Joe the Plumber doesn't give a shit about anything other than the fact that he is being mentioned time and time again in front of 70 million Tv viewers

Its because he's made it big.

Most ppl hate artists who become too popular

Posted by MrJiveBoJingles on Oct-16-2008 12:14:

Because it is a bit sad to watch someone with obvious talent using it to rehash the same two or three tracks?

He is giving his fans what they want, though. It does kind of puzzle me when a producer seems to have no vision at all for himself as an artist, apparently working to make only the kind of stuff that pleases the biggest crowd possible. But if that is what really makes him feel happy and fulfilled, who am I to judge?
