First EP was ok and I could enjoy some of it a lot, second wasn't good at all. Haven't heard the 3rd yet. So I wouldn't say Skrillex is particularly special, but not entirely without worth either. Definitely not worth all the apparent hype though.

Benga, Skream, Distance, Excision are far above Skrillex. Skrillex is sitting one half step below Borgore. And Borgore put himself on a low bar on purpose. What's Skrillex's excuse? He's like the clown of dubstep. Money grab.

Really? Because I've never heard any Benga that made me go "WOW"

Admittedly, haven't looked at much, but the point stands. Send me some benga that'll make me **** my pants.

below borgore? Really? I find boregore's stuff to be just terrible..

New EP isn't that great and I feel like his other stuff is much more original ("Right On Time" is an execption), but aside from that, he's awesome. I really don't think he would get half the hate if he didn't call himself dubstep. The hate comes from people who expect him to sound like Skream, who's also a genius, but Skream is Skream and Skrillex is Skrillex. "My Name Is Skrillex" and "With You, Friends" are a couple of my favorite songs that are actually on his EP's (I really recommend that anyone who hasn't heard his non-brosteppy stuff listens to the later, it's quite an accomplishment of composition as opposed to his usual stuff which is quite an accomplishment of production, soundscaping and replicating the sounds of breaking headphones.) For the songs that are released individually, I have to agree that his older stuff is better.

GB is right that most of you guys are saying "now that he's popular, he isn't good." You guys better get use to him, because I have the feeling he's nowhere near done rising yet, for the better or worse. If he continues to head downhill like he did with this EP, than I can easily see it being for the worse. All that being said, I can't stand the music he made with From First To Last (or almost any screamo for that matter) so he's had his ups and downs in my eyes and I can easily see him rebounding.

Someone please tell me this is some internet meme where you can write whatever you like on the guys arm.

I find Borgore's stuff to be terrible too. Borgore finds his stuff terrible I think. And then there's Skrillex, one step below Borgore. That's what I'm saying. :D

@GB I haven't even been keeping up with dubstep, and to plug some of my favorites of Benga's tunes at this point probably wouldn't give you a WOW reaction... but I'd like to throw up this example anyway. This is the chillin' jam.



Maybe your not looking for chillin. Maybe you want in your face dubstep... My favorite dubstep is the more mellow, like Distance. I get a kick out of crazy drops but I don't listen to that stuff regularly...

Might as well throw this one out.. This is the first dubstep tune that blew me away a few years ago

Oh come on. Fanboyism is a massive problem. But wishing death on people is just silly and childish. Your not going to make people realise they are wrong by wishing death upon them aggressively stating that you are right.

i realize that's what you're saying. To my ears Boregore sounds so much worse than any dubstep artist I've heard. Like there's nothing redeeming about it. Skrillex is at least decent in my books

MrD00d - See, I don't actually think that benga track is that great.

Because it doesn't do this.
