I mean. the little dubstep that I know and actually feel, besides my man skrillex, who apparently sucks according to popular opinion, is...
i dunno, i thought skrillex was on some new, ill, other . Thanks for not bashing me personally, guys. Apparently I pissed Des off so much with my championing of Skrillex that he is going to produce a few tracks to show me whats good. lol

I never heard of this guy named skrillex, but they guy has his own style, and you can't hate on the guy for that. I mean listening to his track posted, I am not a fan, but there are people out there who like it.
To me his style sounds like euro pop with an electro and somewhat dub step twist. Pretty much scooter slowed down, and use dubstep rythms.
Can't hate the guy for people liking his music.

the Mt. Eden Dubstep remix of Still Alive is one of the few dubstep tracks i really enjoy
innocence by nero is also decent, though sounds like the popular wobble nonsense that's everywhere. idc, it's catchy haha

So you are basing your opinion on the guy's sudden rise to fame and popularity and not so much on the content of his music after all, right?
I kinda understand what you mean, but at the same time you dont know how much work he's put in for him to have gotten this far.
It's cool if you think his music sucks, but at the end of the day that's your opinion. I'm not trying to bash anyone here, but c'mon, everyone's got the right to an opinion, just like you got a right to yours. He's dominating the beatport charts right now simply cuz people like what he's putting out.
I personally check out beatport now and then for new music that I like, and didnt really see anything regarding Skrillex dropping a new album, it just kinda dropped out of nowhere. I'll admit it's not the best out there, but it is different, and I think people dig that. I pretty much stick to trance and prog house for the most part, with a little electro on the side, so I really have an unbiased opinion about all this.
On the other hand, you saying that other artists go unoticed because of people like Skrillex, how is that any of his fault? He's just trying to get his music out there just the way you, as well as any other dj/producer is. You can't help what people like. You make music you want to make and just expect others to like it. It just worked in his case and appealed to a mass audience.

WOW he was in From First to Last? I never saw that coming in a million years...

Well yes and no. Yes, in the sense that if he weren't getting so famous, we wouldn't be having a 4 page discussion about his music, he'd just be another irrelevant dubstep artist that doesn't really get much discussion around here on Trance Addict. No, in the sense that because this discussion came about, I voiced my opinion that I think it's not that good, especially compared to some of the dubstep artists that don't get really talked about by the masses.
Very true. I mean, there's people having discussions about how much they think my stuff's overrated and other people vehemently defending it as really good, etc. etc... As an artists, I don't really post anywhere else but here so I don't get involved or defend myself haha.. As a music lover above all, I too have my opinions and I certainly respect everyone else's :) I did tend to make certain assumptions about the "person" or the "artist" that are probably not true, so I didn't mean for that to be taken too negatively!
Well I didn't mean to imply any of it was his fault :) That's how the ball rolls in this scene though. Circumstantially, some people just blow up and others don't. It was more a commentary on the fans of the new big electronic artists. I will never discount anybody's opinion ever, but I will always offer alternative artists for them to check out that might make them rethink their opinion that said artist "is the best" or whatever their opinion is. It certainly isn't any artist's "fault" and hey, as an artist myself, I can only hope my upcoming album gets as much hype as this current Skrillex one.
And if that does happen, of course there will be the musical snobs (let's be honest, like me in this case haha) that will critique every detail on the boards, for better or worse. And I hope if that does happen, I won't hold it against them! :cool:
Many times, people will say that it's the Tiesto's and Deadmau5's that initially get the people into this beautiful world of electronic music. This is all true, but then the next step is the (for lack of a better word) jaded musical snob telling them to "check this song out, or this one, or this one, it's so much better!", etc... I didn't really like minimal techno until the annoying people on this board hated on the current trance music so much that I eventually checked it out for myself! I didn't like dubstep until my friend showed me how much intricate it was to produce it compared to minimal techno, and I checked it out... The negativity does sometimes give birth to a greater appreciation of the genre, and isn't always just for the sake of being negative :)
Very true. Now I see where you're coming from, I can respect that.
