Ho ho ho! = Ha ha ha!
Read the recent Rolling Stone article on Skrillex….Meh…..
I only found out what a Skrillex was couple of weeks ago, from a facebook friend complaining about Skrillex. In fact, I’m pretty sure the only times i’ve EVER read the word “Skrillex” was when someone else was complaining about Skrillex.
I get the impression that he produces music or something like that, but it reminds me a bit of when Paris Hilton became famous. We were all like, “What? Who? Where did this come from?”
Never seen either of them do anything but be complained about.
Korn made a couple of songs with him which weren’t completely terrible… Though, I don’t think that was thanks to him.
Are we related?
Skrillex went from being an orphan and using his own talents to make music that has gotten him famous, it is in no way shape or form comparable to Paris Hilton.
Paris Hilton is a metaphor, dude. I was attempting to communicate a subjective impression using an example with a more objective basis. THERE IS NO SPOON.
… so in this picture now means now but then means early 70s to late 90s?
That would not be an inaccurate usage of the terms “now” and “then”. Why do you ask?
Yes, ams there a problem with that?
That’s unfair to dial-up modems.
I actually think Shrillex doesn’t make bad music, There music I would say is mostly suitable for playing in the background when playing video games or working out at the gym & not so much for just listening to while you are on the bus or whatever
“There”? Where?
There! Music!
There, castle!
You are my hero.
Why are you talking like that?
I thought you wanted to.
No, I don’t want to.
Suit yourself. I’m easy.
Here music?
No, no it’s just some faulty grammar. Didn’t you get that?
Now = all of history until we find something that vaguely matches.
LOL!
Don’t you mean “then”? Anyway difficult to argue when the evidence is staring you in the face…
Yes all those existed back then, but back then there were also some good bands unlike today
You’re a moron.
And you’re gay
And you’re obviously a child. Only kids use the gay as an insult.
no u
No, not really. It’s used by pretty much everybody as an insult, with the exception of a few people who still refuse to admit that using it to mean “homosexual” was a forced definition which has been discarded by popular culture.
No, not really. But you can keep telling yourself that, and maybe you’ll sound like less of a douche.
Over 60 bands on my list of favorite albums of 2011 beg to disagree. Just to name some: Blut Aus Nord, The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble, Atari Teenage Riot, Gazelle Twin, Random (from Tucumán, Argentina), Kartikeya, Vildhjarta, The Book Of Knots, Boris (Japan), Mournful Congregation, Jenny Hval, SubRosa, Trance To The Sun, 6v6 (Les Byes Mystiques), *Shels, Tangled Thoughts Of Leaving…
Skrillex = A goth boy that could never quite figure out a real instrument or how to metal scream, so he figured the next best thing was to make really bad electronic music and then confuse everyone by his unusual Gothic style dress. I think the audience is less impressed than they are in shock.
He was actually the singer for From First To Last at their start. And, while their first album was emocore drivel, their second album, Heroine, was quite good. He’s got some pipes on him and played some guitar and did a lot of the programming for the album. He’s since quit and become Skrillex.
does this absolutely need to be posted on every single subsection of this website?
I think this is the fifth time I’ve seen this.
GraphJam, Music, Fail Blog front page… Where else now?
Hanson and Cindy Lauper were/are better than the Jonas Brothers and Katy Parry respectively. Same goes for 80s!Maddona and Lady Gaga.
I was about to point the same thing out.
Actually almost everyone I know likes skrillex and he also doesn’t dress badly so keep your opinions to yourself!
…Keep your opinions to yourself? That is a terrible thing to tell somebody to do. Burn in hades, you goth preteen maggot.
Keep your opinion to yourself, Telamo.
High five, that’s the stupidest thing anyone could ever say in real life and the internet “keep your opinion to yourself” Nice choice of words too, “preteen maggot” hahaha high five!
“Almost everyone I know likes skrillex” says an awful lot about you and the people you hand around with.
Most of what it says isn’t good.
*hang
I just wanted to point out how pretentious you sound, good sir. Please, you sound very condescending. Tone it down a little bit.
Actually, I think ‘hand around’ may be accurate if it is a euphemism for circle-jerking….
And he wasn’t condescending; he never said something which seemed superficially kind, but with a subtext of superiority (seeing as you like correcting people in an ironic, hypocritical sort of way).
-
…he just insulted him.
-
And why would his opinion be any less valid that the first guy?
-
‘Skrillex fan’ get to act like a butt-hurt hipster fanboy
‘Outback Jon’ gets to insult him
you get to patronise ‘Outback Jon’ while claiming it is referential to his own behaviour and thus validated,
…and I get to be a total d**k and break your balls for it.
Welcome to the internet.
So it’s OK for you to voice your opinions, but it’s not OK for anybody else to voice theirs? How about you just concentrate on getting your balls to drop, and let the adults talk.
Sorry that was aimed at ROFL
This is like the 5 time I have seen this today come on Memebase
100% accurate
Uh, no. Whether or not you like Skrillex doesn’t matter, modems weren’t musicians, ever. There is plenty of horrible Synth music from the 70′s and 80′s you could compare his noise to and stay on topic.
“modems weren’t musicians, ever”. Guess you never heard a modem in the 90s
I’m ..(cough).. older… and I actually get a kick out of Skrillex … maybe it’s the Cory Feldman doppelganger thing…
I like the first 7 seconds of shrillex. And then I don’t like them much at all.
Why isnt fail blog up there? before it was a funny site, and now it isnt…
I think I danced more with my dial up modem.
The only thing on here I have an opinion about is Hanson. They continue to be excellent.
Hanson = Jonas Brothers? is men = douchebags.
Humph…Chris Brown wishes he was as epic as Turner.
Exactly. Chris Brown needs to beat up his girl a lot more women to get to Ike Turner status.
And I grammar eff myself. Nice sentence structure jack-ass (there, now no one else has to hate me for it).
Why are Madonna and Cyndi Lauper in the same page as lady gaga and justin bieber..and the jonas brothers…i can see the comparison between skrillex and the modem but seriously putting gaga as an equal to Madonna? And perry to Cyndi? Come on man, thats just plain offensive.
Hmm, let’s see, what makes Katy Perry comparable to Cyndi Lauper:
- wears shrill, frilly outfits that hurt the eyes
- has a high pitched voice
- had a huge hit with a taboo breaking sex song (“I Kissed A Girl” for Perry, “She Bop” for Lauper)
Not to forget that back in her days, Cyndi was decried by many “real” music fans to be nothing more than a fake wannabe with no talent or artistic integrity what so ever. Well, as time showed they were dead wrong about Cyndi. Can’t say the same will happen to Katy Perry, but who knows?
As far as public image goes, these analogies are pretty spot on if you ask me.
Wow, you’re either Katy Perry or you really like her s**tty music for you to so articulately point those things out. Perry’s song wasn’t so taboo anymore i mean it being after the year 2000 and all…It was a really big and different thing in the 80′s though. Saying those analogies are spot on is like comparing a rock to a playstation 3, they share nothing.
Only an immortal vampire could make all of those comparisons.
This “Dubstep sounds like dial-up” unfunny Internet joke has to stop. It’s like saying classical music sounds like a cat and a mouse running back and forth across a piano. Both analogies are dumb and extremely incorrect.
Oh, would you look at that. Somebody’s hurt her feelings on the internet
It’s only funny the first 100 times you see this joke…
LOLOLOLOLOL
I think most dubstep is garbage, but I do like Skrillex’s music. Primarily because he does have musical qualities in it that most other dubstep lacks.
With that said, whining about a joke on the Internet is idiotic. The joke is funny, even liking his music. Modems made screeching noises. Dubstep utilizes synthesized sounds that often rapidly change in frequency. It’s funny. Unbunch your panties and enjoy life a little.
You’re either 15 years old or simply have a complete disregard for common sense and knowledge…for you to make such ignorant remarks. For starters don’t you ever use “dub-step” in the same paragraph with “classical music” they are WORLDS apart. If you had any idea of what you were talking about you would not dare insult classical music, the composers of classical music were and are geniuses, they CREATED music they didn’t stick pieces of already made music and slapped it together to make noise. The skill of those composers are way beyond what your mind can grasp, the com-POSERS of today are just a bunch of hipster idiots who want to fit in and be cool. You’re way off your rocker kid, think before you write.
I have dial-up modem… on vinyl.
Soon:
Taylor Swift = Britney Spears
LMFAO=Black Eyed Peas w/o Fergie and Will.I.Am
I’d opine that Lady Gaga is more like Grace Jones dipped in bleach.
