    How to embed youtube in thread

    you wrap the youtube tags around the video ID.

    See, its the part and the end of the URL for the videos you posted. Now, wrap each of the codes with:

    Idk how you guys feel about lolskrillex, but his new EP is actually some of his best stuff in a while imo.

    In the words of Mordius, "BANHAMMER: ACTIVATE!!!"
     
  13. Haters going to hate, and Skrillex wont give a shit. Sirah was the only problem with the new EP, can't stand her.

    And now back to our regularly programmed thread.

  15. I love good music I don't care if fucking Glenn Beck mixes it.
     
  16. its not that skrillex is not good..its not dubstep but many include him in the genre.

    its just labels...people get territorial/possesive of labels

    eh. Its not even that, I dont think. The stuff I posted way at the beginning is likely less dubstep that Skrillex, by that logic. Its was more mainstream and soft. I actually prefer my dubstep less nails on a chalkboard and more harmonious. That's why I'm such a proponent of Xilent. THere's a ton of theory -based composition there! But, of course, that opinion and affinity probably comes from me being a classically trained musician and a composer, myself.

    That being said, my beef - and what I suspect most people feel - is that Skrillex has blown up and really done a lot to expose the genre. Sound great, right? Well, it is. But, it makes the people who have been dedicated to the original UK version of true "Dub Steppin'" back in the late '90's pretty upset. People like me that have seen the dubstep evolve and mature into a genre with real and respectable musical potential. Here's why:

    To have Skrillex emerge as the ambassador for its true mainstream debut is just appalling. He's too narrow- too shallow. He rat-holes the Holy Dubness into this dark and twisted mess, and he's just too counterculture and steampunky for my taste.

    It was kind of like Moby emerging as the mainstream ambassador of Techno. His come-up was the death of techno. He arguably wasnt a techno artist, first of all. And while he was a great pop artist, he was only fairly skilled at "techno." I'm just wondering how it takes for the record labels to convince Skrillex that making a Disney-themed dubstep album will be a good idea.

    Another excellent example is Deadmau5. However, I see this example as a success. He was the right guy to be the face of the trance-like genre that is all his own.

    We still have IDM, a moniker I despise, I prefer Electronica- thats another thread for another time - and we still have a handful of other genre's. Electronic has always been on the fringe of popular music. When the genre spins off a major artist, they truly are an ambassador for which the entire genre is judged. I, like so many other, just dont like the fact its that punk kid who lives in his moms basement making the same thing over and over and over and over.....

    Just my two cents.

    Well at least this thread is in the right place now lol

    I tend to agree mwhays, i find skrillex to be very mainstream but they do have there merits, it brought alot of fans to the dubstep world, and i deffo agree with Xilent, although dragging the release of the "ode to the bouncer" remix a little
     
  19. ..when snoop dog got down with some dub step..that brought it too the public eye.

    I saw that and was like..well that is the beginning of the end
