Skrillex - skrillectro
So, I'm not a huge fan of dubstep; I hate how most dubstep artists try to get the fattest most distorted, bitcrushed sounds possible with cliche drops and wobbles. Now, I know skrillex is electro house, but he seems to create a dubstep-electro-glitch-house feel all in one with most of his tracks. His track fucking die brakes away from the norm of the 4 step kick, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZF75ebW68vU But his tracks like Kill everybody have the 4 step kick, some glitchy stabs and some pretty unique, melodic stabs of bass with some wobble. I was talking with my friends and one of them said he is kind of creating a sub-genre, between glitch, electro house and dubstep. I can see this, and though I think skrillex is overrated, he has a very unique, energetic style that moves your body. What do you guys think of skrillex?

but other than that,
I think it's kind of weird that someone who looks like a little emo kid is making this music to try to be super hardcore bro! I know a lot of huge dubstep fans who absolutely hate Skrillex, and it seems like the majority of his fan base is under the age of 18. I guess props to him for finding something that has become so popular, but I still barely even consider this stuff music.
Edit: Just listened to the song the OP posted, and that one isn't that bad up until 1:30 but then just completely derails.

There was some article about this guy back in the winter. Supposedly there was some lineup of people to see him in Toronto. Can he mix or is he a laptop DJ?

I do think that he look like an idiot but it's not like that affects his music.
well, he is a caricature. if williamsburg brooklyn were a new car, he'd have all the options.
and similarly, his music is a caricature of the same sort, it's like a compendium of all options in kiddie dance music. they should have him write for yo gabba gabba
it's actually quite a lot like iJammer and eBumper.
