That's not completely true and it sounds like you've been brainwashed. The Chemical Brothers won a Grammy back when the electronic dance category didn't even exist. Plus we can't forget the major successes that people like Kraftwerk, Giorgio Moroder, New Order, and Depeche Mode had early on. |

Eric Kupper has two grammy's. Low End Specialists, have been nominated a few times. Jay Jay has won too as far as I remember.
There have been tons of Grammy nominated EDM Djs. |

| Not gonna lie, but the highest achievement for an EDM artist was probably when Tiesto was invited to play a DJ set during the opening ceremony for the 2004 Olympics in Athens. Only because it's such a rare occasion and it was televised simultaneously all around the world. Not a fan of his music but that just makes anyone go "wow" |

+1.
I was gonna mention that. Millions tuned in around the world simultanously. Doesnt get an larger than that for any musical artist really, many of those millions probably never even heard of a grammy |

| The Grammys gained a lot of credibility last year by selecting Arcade Fire's "The Suburbs" for album of the year, but this year's list of nominees is very "meh". |

| i'm sure kam meant in the best new artist category. i think dubstep is garbage, but he's right that's a big accomplishment...although last year esperanza spalding won and I still don't know who she is nor do I really care. |

to clarify, i meant to say no other electronic artist has been nominated for best new artist or ever will.
Since the thread topic is "skrillex receives grammy nomination for best new artist" i assumed you would get that.
