When you strip away all the hype, marketing, and arenas, Deadmau5 is just another guy putting out some solid shit. He embraced a theatrical, showman element with the mouse-head, backed it up with some bangin tunes, caught lightning in a bottle, and now finds himself at the top of the game. There will always be guys crossing over into the mainstream who annoy some of us, so what's the big deal?


Yeah, that's pretty much true. His stuff isn't mindblowing (most of the time), but it's certainly not shite either.

What makes a person an idiot for not liking deadmau5. Really, he's just another zitfaced pasty bedroom geek who happened to discover some unique fart bass sounds (which anyone can do these days) in fl studio and decided to market it all off with endless boredom in front of a few virtual synths and a ridiculous red helmet. Quit blowing smoke up his ass.

"It's called preemptively wanting to hate"

What?



First off I think mau5 is utter shit, but he is doing something right, look at how much music he sells...talented or not, you have to give him credit for the amount of success he's obtained. I'm sure at this point music is pure business to him. Look at all the cash waiting to be made!

I was really surprised this weekend to find out this kid, who's basically a part of the family now, is actually into Deadmau5 big time. The kid's probably 16 or 17 I believe, he even drew pictures of the 'mouse ears' thing on his wall. What makes it even more notable is that he lives on a small ass blip on the map ffs!

Then it hit me. Deadmau5 really is big right now on the scene. I never paid too much attention to him, but now I have to acknowledge it. This doesn't mean I like him that much though.

The thing is, while this kid liked Deadmau5, I was almost pleased that he knew and recognized each track on a disc he made (ID3 tags were missing on most songs). He even noted the Deadmau5 and Wolfgang Gartner collab "Animal Rights", never though I'd hear anyone name that song out loud in real life! It was also cool to hear him name off Daft Punk & play some classic trance from the early '00s and some newer Dash Berlin (lmao).

So, I don't think today's youth is too messed up or cheesy. For instance, they'll eventually come across trance at its finest years -- they'll dig up old Tiesto records and albums and see how great music was in the past. I have hope!

It's too easy for people to bitch about new music they don't like, when we should really be trying to share good stuff (not piracy) without looking like douchebags. I have hope whenever I tell someone techno=/=electronic music and they actually seem to care.

no...today's youth lives in the moment of what is popular. If next month country music became the new thing I'm sure he would drop all his deadmau5 CDs for country ones.

You realize people have to like things for them to be popular, correct?

And while Deadmau5 is popular it's not like he's Lady GaGa. Every single person I know who likes Deadmau5 likes electronic music in general, even though most of them are misinformed about EDM. I mean most of them call it techno and think dubstep is 'hardcore techno' but that doesn't mean they're not fans of the music itself, they just might not be a part of the scene.
