To say he makes Dubstep is an insult to people like Skream and Benga who started the genre.
By the way in case some of you are wondering why I get so annoyed by this... I've been listening to Dubstep since it first started to really develop into it's own genre, back in about 2006. Back then, it was our (the UK's) genre to be proud of. It was the most exciting genre of music. It was like slow drum and bass and jungle / dub / garage / grime, all in one.
Now all of a sudden it's got popular, which obviously was bound to happen, and because it's popular, you get people all over the world listening to it. Like everything that moves from country to country, it starts to change.. Like Chinese whispers.. And finally it got to America.. Now we all know how extreme some Americans can be when it comes to trying to be different, and Skrillex is a prime example.. He's taken a genre that I've listened to since it began, and completely destroyed it for me, forgetting about it's roots, and what the purpose of Dubstep is. I honestly feel like he's taken the English flag and spat all over it. I can't listen to Dubstep now because idiots like Skrillex have ruined it for me.. I can't deal with the annoying 13 year old american kids on Youtube talking about how "dirty that drop was"..
See, but this is the kind of 'Dubstep' I like. There's been a few old dubstep songs that I've hated, and to be honest, I don't like all of Skrillex's songs, they all seem to have the same flow with a different pitch to me, but I do like this one, a lot! Everyone has a difference in opinion. Post some of the stuff that you like Fragma, I'll give my views on it.
