How can people listen to this shit?

Well I've already hated mainstream music for years, but this still takes the cake for me. Oh well, the brainless masses can continue to be spoon-fed with crap, I'll continue to dig for better shit, which as far as Skrillex's style is involved, really isn't that difficult.

Posted by BritishLizard on Dec-02-2011 00:22:

It is commercial music. 90% of the people that mainly listen to it are musically ignorant.

drugs and lots of it lol

over the summer skrillex and other dubstep/electro guys were at this festival in nyc
i wassnt there for them at all but i said what the hell let me give him a few min to see what the hype is all about
such a dogshit crowd and the best way to describe the music and them danceing is pretty much walking in circles slow then once the rage comes in they go into cardic arrest lol
never again, def not for me

I wouldn't even listen to it involuntarily lol. If this came on in a car driving across a bridge that spanned a 400 ft drop into the ocean I'd jump out

you joke, but im fairly sure this is entirely true. the only time this type of stuff has ever made any sense to me was after some confusion between me and a horse

skrillex with a grammy that would be an insult to many talented musicians that got it back then, definitely grammys are a joke also.

Intricately made, not well made.

Skrillex deserves a Grammy hands down.
No one has had a bigger impact in the electronic music scene than him.

Posted by Lews on Dec-02-2011 19:29:

Why are you people surprised? And why do you care?

Posted by -FSP- on Dec-02-2011 19:57:

This is an organization which snubbed Carl Craig. What did you expect?

The electronic/dance section is just a token genre for the Grammys. It's just there so no one calls them out for a lack of diversity. I don't think that it ever reflected the wide scene of electronic music. I don't think the organizers even listen to it. The mainstream music of America is a rock and pop fraternity, and always will be so it is no surprise that Skrillex was nominated, and it's no surprise that bro=dubstep is big. America is pretty damned rockist.

James Blake didn't get a nomination, but he was nominated for a Mercury prize...they wouldn't even consider Burial or Blake for a prize here in the USA because it is way too obscure and juvenile to the ears of the American music illuminatti.
