I see what you're trying to say, but even the structure isn't the same with Skrillex. The only thing that remains is that it's 2 step..
Skrillex doesn't even have structure in his songs.. It's like he's just gathered as many annoying samples as he could find together, and slammed them into the space of a minute (excluding the intro and outro).
If I took something you really loved and made it as bad as I possibly could, you wouldn't be too happy would you? Especially if everybody forgot about what you loved and only knew about what I made out of it.
People these days hear Dubstep and think Skrillex... Which is just a complete joke, and embarrassment for the genre.
That's strange, because many actually classify Dubstep as a sub-genre within Electro.. House and Electro aren't that dissimilar. Trance is a whole different story.
I'm not usually a fan of Wikipedia, but if you check out their Dubstep page, you'll notice it says:
Dubstep (/ˈdʌbstɛp/) is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in South London
I wouldn't agree with that personally, however I do think Skrillex has a lot of Electro influences in his music.. It's pretty obvious to see.
Exactly! What annoys me is that people refer to his music as Dubstep... Why can't they call it something else like Awfulstep?
