i loved skrillex when i first heard scary monsters and nice sprites, but now, at least for me, hes WAY too mainstream. i'm very pretentious when it comes to music and i don't like the kind of crowd hes drawing into the EDM scene. a bunch of college kids who don't know the first thing about EDM/dubstep and just wanna get fucked up at his shows. i've seen skrillex 3 times and his shows are always crazy, but music-wise, hes just trying to bang out as many songs as possible. i cant keep up. hes noisestep, but also experiments with other genres like dnb and house. used to love him, now not digging him being on the radio and tv and shit, but maybe thats just me. i'm sick of seeing skrilly being mentioned under EVERY dubstep song on youtube and all over facebook, and i cant tell you how many times ive heard him being blasted in my dorm building. totally overrated and a lot of his songs sound the same
also, hes not very good at performing. his sets are totally pre-recorded, very little improvisation/musicianship at all. the skrillex cell was cool to see though. just wish i hadnt been having a terrible accidental 2c-e trip....
