Subject: Skrillex: Best musician of all time, even better than The Beatles

I enjoy some of Skrillex's music, but some of it gives me headaches.

GOAT

While the beatles are great, they didn't actually invent anything. Rock/pop music was already around, and the Beatles capitalized on that, like any smart band would.

However, Skrillex made the genre. While there might have been a few smaller artists before him, we can accredit the rise and development of Dubstep to him.

This is why I believe he will go down as a greater musical influence than the beatles.

I'm not a fan of The Beatles, but to say that their music is inferior to anything made by Skrillex is a joke.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

Because you don't agree with him? That's harsh.

When will people just get over the nostalgia effect and move on from the old, mediocrity that is the past?

We mouth the vilest sacrament
And adhere to these tacit skirmishes
All for one day ideal and saffron-drenched
We ate each other's hearts out of serving dishes

This thread is kind of funny.

Disagree because Dubstep won't be a genre forever- it will die out

In the present, Skrillex is in a league of his own.
Only line that I can agree with to be honest.

I don't like the music, I don't even care much for the guy himself from what I've seen. But that is true, that he is in a league of his own. How long it will last though? Nobody knows.

We are all going to get banned aren't we?

This is the worst joke attempt i have seen in my life.

It isn't about how popular or good the songs are more than it is about how they are composed. That is what made the Beatles Great along with Bob Dylan and such.

I personally don't have a vibe for the beatles other than "black bird" and a few other songs. But once my friend (who is a musician and took an entire course on the beatles) gave me this long talk about them and how their music is written,etc i understood why they get so much attention.


But skrillex? really? That is like saying Odd Future is the new Wu tang clan.

This is the most stupid thing I've read all week. Do you also call all electronic music "Techno"?

OT: How is this thread still even going?

Skrillex has some decent songs.

But most of it is like throwing a brick in a washing machine
