Long time lurker 1st time caller. I must post my displeasure with Deadmau. Deadmau blows chunks, I can't believe this clown gets paid millions for his trash, how did he even become who he is. His songs are so bad, random and not enjoyable. It seems like good electronic music has left the building. We are stuck with deadmau hitting random on his synthn, throwing in a drum loop and he finishes his track by ripping a classical musician, WTF. It's hard to believe he has millions of fans around the world. |

here we again, the simpletons from TA arguing over his music, believing the aim of Deadmau5 is to shift the EDM world upside. Looks like I have to explain it again.
First off, let it be known that Deadmau5 HAS a degree in philosophy and history. Look it up. Also, I am not Deadmau5's friend and I am doing this in no way to make him look good or bad, but just to elevate the average TA above "just any other jealous jack-off."
Deadmau5 is more than just a musician, a DJ, an award winner. Foremost he is an artist. No, not one who simply constructs musical beats, and then rakes in cash from this generation to the next. Joel is more sophisticated than that, whether you want to believe it or not.
Again, as noted in the previous time I had to state this, think of Bansky, the renegade graffiti artist. Initially, he was thought as as simply nothing more than a talented hoodrat who vandalized the walls with some neat pictures which stimulated the mind. His early work from 92-94, most of which was photographed before it was painted over by city crew, was thought of as just that, vandalism. It took time, but now people seek to preserve his work. They are still the same, unauthorized drawings on property which does not belong to him, but it took time for people to realize they are a substantial commentary to our lives and environments.
Joel "deadmau5" zimmerman is doing just that. The problem is that, unlike graffiti, not everyone can witness his masterpiece. Only the EDM community can critique his work, and that's disappointing, because should his work be featured on KPBS, or in a museum, the elite would pick up very quickly what he is doing.
So what is it? What is he doing? What is his message?
He is raging against consumerism. It's blatantly obvious by his peculiar choice of name, Deadmau5. The mouse which scavenges and devours trash, no matter the epicness of filth. No matter the risk, the matter the reward, the mouse, the rat will consume it.
Yes, everyone loved Faxing Berlin.

A rather simple track with a cowbell, well produced. Real good .
But then the followup came through. Not Exactly, Jaded, No Pressure. Then the artists poured in. Glenn Morrison, Marcus Shossow, Santa Clau5. People started picking up on something.
They all sounded ing alike. The same ing production style for each.
A backlash against Deadmau5 raged across all of EDM. The community was angry.
And I can legitimately believe that Deadmau5 was smiling. Not out of spite or contempt, but to realize that his masterpiece was coming together.
But then things changed. His beatport income went through the roof. His sales were #1. His agent was booking him everyone.
The people - the consumers - wanted more Deadmau5. And then Joel Zimmerman became angry. He wanted to experiment with the idea of becoming a passing fad, a test in faith of the average consumer - that no consumer would be stupid enough to rebuy the same product over, and over, and over again. He was wrong. He was dead wrong. Deadwraun6.
There's nothing really left for him to do now but just rake in cash and realize that the consumer is just as stupid as anti-consumerists make them out to be. Consumerist pigs? No, consumerist rats.
He comes on here and you all think he's some elite wanker who trolls. off. You're the simpleton. He's the genius. He has every right to belittle everyone on this forum. He is Socrates. We are the ignorant government of Athens.

Furthermore, who ing cares??? There's nothing ground-breaking about anything he's put out in the past 3 years. It's all mindless quasi-electro-house bull for stupid pill-heads who care more about the novelty of seeing a guy wearing a giant mouse hat behind the decks.
N'Sync used to be popular once too. |

Would you please stop posting for a little while, until you pull your head from your ass? |

| I guess I don't really see the point. I don't think anyone is trashing Deadmau5 because he's trying "to shift the EDM world upside." People say bad things about him because they think he's a prick, or they don't like his music. Fawning over Deadmau5 and making arguments based on what other artists said of his music, or supposing that his intent is to rage against consumerism seems pretty pointless to me. You can't form a very good argument based on assumptions, so why waste the time in typing up an essay about why you think Deadmau5 is so awesome. |
