Why?

Why?
Yeah, I agree.
Realizing that there was an entire musical genre called Dub Step that I had no idea was a thing, was a pivotal moment in realizing I am old.
It sounds like aliens farting into a microphone and sending it to earth as a prank, but instead the kids are dancing to it.

That's probably because that's what it is. In end result anyway.

Skrillex is useful as a featured artist on a song for the electronic, distorted sound he brings to the table, but as a stand alone "artist," he sucks.

Sounds like some bs Techno/Rave music.
Breakbeats>Techno>Skrillex

Many of my students love Skrillex, and they're ecstatic about the big festival he's playing in this summer. I tried to give him a listen, but I couldn't make it through one song. I gave another song a try, and I had to turn it off.
It reminds me of Ross in Friends when he shows off his mad electronic music skills.

I remember that episode. And yes, it sounds just like that.

Why?
Why not? If we're going to recognize thug/gangsta hippity-hop as music, why not stretch the electronic genre with Skrillex?

Hippity-hoppity music at least has a message. Granted, nowadays, that message seems to be more puerile than poetic. Skrillex is just noise. And it's not good noise.

Eh...I'm not a big fan of electronic music, but this isn't as horrible as I was expecting.
He's a dorky little hipster kid who favors Teddy Duchamp, and his songs are NIN-ultra lite, but he's not the worst I've ever heard.

Deadmou5 is the worst.

Here's an example of dubstep infiltrating otherwise good music. This is not a remix, it's the original song.

It's not terrible, but I've seen this movie before. This is a sign of things to come. Similar to auto-tune. It gets done. Then it gets done too much. Then you want to fucking choke every person on the radio that uses it.

Yeah. Wow. At 1:15 into that Alex Clare song, I realized that I'm officially an old fogey and that I'm going to be a cantankerous bastard after 40.
And another thing - Bjork was using those ideas a long, long time before this modern Skrillex-influenced shit.
From 1993:

I just listened to some of this shit on iTunes. :puke:
THS, you mentioned Bjork in the electronic genre but you can go even further back to ELO in the 70's for electronic sounding music, although its a far stretch from this shit. Jeff Lynne was actually a great musician and they played real instruments with synthesizers complimenting them. But this crap? Barf. Sounds exactly what Chad said and what you said combined - Ross Gellar's mad skills + aliens with the runs.

I like the part where he says the sunlight hurts his eyes.
