choo-choooooo!! yes, the bad_brain hate train is still rolling, and today it makes a stop at Skrillex.

 

 

first, dear Skrillex, I have to make you a compliment: your concept is 100% coherent. your name is as stupid as your "music" and your look. children, that's what happens when you are at a rave party and someone sells you a mix of the Yaba tablets he ordered online crumbled and pressed together with meth and something that kinda showed up in a test tube after a more than failed MDMA DIY experiment in daddy's garage.

 

after having a bunch of these you can have really bizarre ideas like "I will shave the side of my head and wear silly hipster glasses because I want to look like a retarded asshole version of Bono" (which means the retarded asshole version of a retarded asshole).....oh AND: "I will call myself DJ/musician/whatever now and make people think my stuff is original and inventive".

don't do drugs.

ok, but well...everyone can feel free to look as retarded as he wants to, as long as good music is made, right? well, bad luck for Squirrel-Ex again. All stolen, and not even in a clever way. Take 1/3 of Aphex Twin, 1/3 of the worst european wannabe-techno you can find (best example: YT for "Blümchen"), mix it together with what is left of dubstep after the music industry raped it to death: voila...Skrillex. (want REAL dubstep? look for acts like Kromestar and especially Digital Mystikz, 5 years ago)

don't steal.

boring, mediocre, mainstream, always the same. and the oh-so-cool videos? lame. want to see great music videos with great electronic music? reach into the "really inventive and intelligent" shelf, you can find artists like Squarepusher and (again) Aphew Twin there...with videos directed by the amazing super-weirdo Chris Cunningham.

die.

 

P.S. on a personal note (as if the post wouldn't have been my personal note already anyway), also check Christoph De Babalon, I can not praise that guy enough when it's about electronic music.

Quoting isapiens:
I dont follow this type of music too much (mainly workout music sometimes). But do you have the same feelings for the top grossing dj's? https://www.brobible.com/music/article/the-worlds-10-highest-paid-djs-according-to-forbes

Thanks for the links to the other artists.


Tiesto and deadmau5 (whoah, he uses a 5 instead of an s, how 1337) are playing in the same league of retarded, boring, untalented mainstream posers as Skrillex. they are all in it for the money, not for the music...they don't give a crap about the music actually, they would hijack every trend in order to keep their names on the top selling lists. if you are looking for really good DJs look for the old school ones like DJ Hype, Grooverider or Goldie. search them here for example: https://www.dnb-sets.de/
