I like him. He's definitely not high art, but his music is fun. Oh, and he's FUCKING ADORABLE~
That said, if I see another "How 2 sound leik Skrillex" tutorial on youtube, Imma have a conniption fit.

He only smashed his laptop because he accidentally spilled beer all over it.
And that's a matter of personal taste. (*inb4 "or lack thereof"*)

That said, he comes across as a pretty nice guy in interviews compared to a lot of really obnoxious interviews with other electronic musicians. (*I'm looking at you Mr. "I Have 5 penises, 4 of them are under my arms"
...A lotta Dubstep musicians are like that, come to think of it.
The 5 geek social fallacies. Know them well.I like a couple dubstep artists, but the only one I could name for you is Burial.
My problem with Dubstep was that I found out about Burial first and then all the other, considerably less interesting (to me) arists. It's like being given a Public Enemy record and then finding out that every other rapper in the world is MC Hammer.
I also like some Glitch, namely Prefuse 73.

go ahead and do every stupid thing you can imagineIf you like Burial you might like Scuba or Distance.
I wouldn't say that it's that bad, but I get where you're coming from.
Also: At least Skrillex isn't Borgore.
The 5 geek social fallacies. Know them well.- His music would be a lot better if he dropped the "PROVING THAT DUBSTEP HAS THE FILTHIST BASS AROUND" angle.
- His name sounds like a sound affect an alien would make. Seriously, say "skrillex" in as raspy/weird a voice as you can if you don't believe me.
He most certainly doesn't win the "Filthiest Wobbles" award. (*That distinction gos to Captain Panic!*)
Much more filthy.
That said, how on earth does one come up with a name like "Skrillex"?

The 5 geek social fallacies. Know them well.Skillet as in the Christian Metal Band?
...That's a stretch, but better than most explanations I've heard.
The 5 geek social fallacies. Know them well.Also, "skillet" is another word for "frying pan". It can also be used as (outdated and lame) slang along the lines of "Waddup home skillet."

No matter how you slice it, it makes for a seriously cool logo.
