it's arrived. the thing is the production's actually quite accomplished, just so obnoxious.

This a million times over. It drives me nuts. Can we come up with a new genre name that isn't "post-dubstep" which is a term i see thrown around all over the place?

Fair play to him honestly but he means as much to me and my music as every other producer that has put a dent in the beatport main chart, essentially nothing. But to be honest since Datsik and Boregore and all that crap, those of us that have been around forever are all of a sudden being told that what we do isn't dubstep lol. I don't know. I have a feeling we haven't seen the worst this genre can bring us. It is going to be real tough to grin and bare.
Honestly he's 1# on Beatport because he's on Mau5trap, that's all the reason.

Yeah but there must be a reason he got signed to the label in the first place. If they put out an album by me I am sure there would be a lot of WTF's going on My shit ain't going on #1 Beatport just because of that.

all about connections, that and having no shame at selling out or riding the popularity bandwagon (hipster culture at it's best)
props to him for making that bank
still find the majority of his shit generic what's popular at the moment sound with an emo twist and nothing that innovative or that will stand the test of more than a few months yet.

dubsteps about variety anyways.
you have people who have poured gallons of blood, sweat, and tears into this scene since before skream ever made his first tune, when the music was pure, the scene was small and close knit. although i don't have as much experience as a lot of people, i'm very protective of what i think dubstep is and what it should/could be and i can only imagine what a lot of londoners have invested (monetarily and emotionally) in this music.
when i got into dubstep, it was all about atmosphere, minimalism, and meditation. ask anyone on the street what "dubstep" is now and they tell you it's all aggro wobble filth noise from a bunch of ras trents. it really makes me sick, sick to the point i don't use the term "dubstep" in context of the current popular form, or at all because people assume i love borgore.
when i started posting on this forum, the big names posted. some still do, but not to the point i used to see. i'm sure it's because all these diaper wearing amateurs just make them slap their foreheads. the disrespect and ignorance is amazing.
variety? sure. watering down the first original scene i was able to be a part of since its inception? fuck no.
rant over. if you still don't get it, go through tempa's back catalog and tell me it in any way resembles what a lot of people claim their "dubstep" to be.
after this post everyone should stop posting shit like why do hate so and so.

this.
Only reason hes on deadmau5s label is because they know they can exploit a generation who are looking for a (slightly) new direction in music.
Oh wait... wasnt that what they did with deadmau5 in the first place?
i guess a good marketing team can do anything, aslong as the moneys right

Man what happend, two months ago the whole forum would have agreed that Skrillex's music is wank and a topic would be useless.
Now people are forced to listen to at least one tune for a few seconds to form an opinion
