WHY is there so much hate for Skrillex? I honestly want to know!

... I WANT to buy this album, but it is really obnoxious. Except that I think that I could PON every day and still be happy. I'm terrified of that, actually.

I don't want to melt into oblivion, and I fear this album could be a catalyst. It... has an unearthly nature to it.

Creepy, creepy PONPONPON OH GOD!!

Yay! I'm so happy to hear this, her songs are really good and her music videos are out of this world! It's like doing drugs when your not! They're that cool! Can't wait to buy the album! Very Happy

He took a bad genre that only a few nerds liked, and made it into a bad genre with some catchy songs that a lot of people like, so the nerds are jealous.

Weird connection to the article. Kyary Pamyu Pamyu is "electronic"? I was sure she was riffing on J-Pop...

Just because you're too stuck-up to enjoy a musical genre doesn't give you free license to be a pretentious jackass.

(and before you pull what I know you're gonna pull, I don't listen to dubstep)

I'm surprised at the chart topping. That one song she debuted with was terrifying to listen to (why must it be so catchy? ARRGGH) and to watch.

He technically took a subgenre of the genre and made it popular.

It can fall under electronic since pop music nowadays is pretty much done on computers (soft synths) and hardware synths.

Her earlier stuff was even more electronic.

I'd put her in the same musical category as Perfume's stuff.
