Technically, the cake can NOT be a like. It was seen, in its' true form, to be so deliciously moist. Therefore, you not attending the party was a grave mistake, and you are now shamed in the world. How do you sleep at night?

Eh, Skrillex is alright, but I much prefer deadmau5. imo, I think he's doing more for EDM than skrillex.

  • 12.23.2012 3:11 PM PDT

Beatles were innovative. Skrillex is the opposite.


Deadmau5 however, I would say he actually is very artistic (listen to all the layers in the full version of Strobe and how it plays on your mood) and is better than Queen at least.

Actually, there are a number of much less popular electronic artists who make much more unique and varied electronic music than Skrillex does.
Not really, because Skrillex invented EDM and Dubstep. I've heard a few impostors, but nothing that even comes close to the original.


You made yourself obvious right here.

In all seriousness though, Skrillex's music is better than The Beatles.

In my opinion,
Skrillex's music is the voice of this generation. Everyone can agree that his revolutionary musical style is at a level once thought unreachable.

The subtle undertones in the content of his work are part of an overarching social commentary rivaled by none, not even The Beatles, who are greatly overrated. Indeed, I feel it's safe to say that profound statements are the only kind Skrillex is capable of making.

His fusion of technical prowess and sheer understanding of sound as a concept creates such a harmonious melody, that he can easily be held in the same esteem as greats such as Bob Dylan or David Hasselhoff.

In the present, Skrillex is in a league of his own.

Fixed.

Including the Beatles in the title made this the most obvious troll I've ever seen. People on the Flood freak out when you say anything about the Beatles. They pretty much idolize the Beatles.

I think a lot of people are just hating on Skrillex out of jealousy or to be hip and go against the mainstream.

Numba one Italian on da flud.

the Beatles changed a generation, and music in general FOREVER.

skrillex is just an average dj.

Unsuccessfully trying to bring science and reason to The Flood...

Pressing buttons on a laptop =/= Musician.

Skrillex is not a musician. He is a glorified DJ at best.

What the Skriller has going for him is mainstream popularity.


Any you could recommend?

I'm sure people said the same thing about the first banjo or whatever it was The Beatles played.

All he has done is help make dubstep mainstream.

Best musician of all time? no.
