In Defense of Skrillex

Hey Crunk Folks, I'm Tom. I've been doing some back-end work for the site over the last month (the rating system on the DJs site was my main project). Nothing compliments writing a few thousand lines of code like some dirty electro. I’ve written this article in my head at least four times, and seeing the Grammys pushed me to put this out there, on the record.

I have not been in the EDM scene forever. I didn’t know Avicii’s real name. I couldn’t pick Dieselboy out of a lineup. I had to google Steve Aoki’s real name before going backstage in case I ran into him (it’s Steve Aoki, and I didn’t). But I enjoy the music that they make. And I enjoy Skrillex.

Every one seems to have an axe to grind with this guy, and I can’t help but feel that it’s only because he’s successful. You can call his work derivative, fratstep, or dog shit, but at the end of the day, he’s making a living throwing crazy shows that get people moving. And you aren’t.

Skrillex, Bassnectar, deadmau5, and the plethora of DJ/producer hybrids that have been tearing everything up lately are doing everyone that is reading this article a favor. Each time one of these people produce a killer track, more people begin to realize that there’s something more to this family of music. Each little subgenre gains a little more traction, and pretty soon we might even step out of the shadow of techno (If I had a dollar for every time…).

So what the fuck is wrong with you people? Some guy with a goofy haircut that used to scream in a band figured out a way to shed a LOT of light on a genre that was mainly underground. Next time you’re at a show put on by a local producer, look around and imagine how many of those people wouldn’t be there if it weren’t for Skrillex and the other guys. You might not like the new people brought in, but remember that you’re all there for the same reason. Embrace it.

Skrillex Uses Satanic and Homosexual Influence to Win Grammys

So Christianviews.org is unstable right now. So I figured I would just jack move this article for you all to enjoy..... OBVIOUSLY THESE ARE NOT MY VIEWS

"Skrillex, a Gothic icon and Lesbian fashionista whose name is Latin for “Homosexual Satan Wasp”, is the biggest act in Dubstep today — a music genre founded on consuming massive amounts of drugs and having raucous pre-marital sex with numerous partners — and his winnings at the 2012 Grammys prove that his satanic presence will be felt for years to come. As long as Skrillex wins Grammys and is accepted by mainstream media, he will claim souls for Satan and molest our children through his perverse philosophy of futuristic devil machine music.

Skrillex is the inventor of “dubstep” whose sole purpose is to provide a “drop” — common youth terminology for procuring and snorting drugs. In addition, the rhythm patterns he employs in his “music” are known to cause seizures to certain people, which provides ample opportunity for other concert-goers to rape said afflicted person(s).

Skrillex, a known emosexual, was born Sonny Moore. He rose to fame with the satanic Rock ‘n roll band “From First To Last” (a band name that celebrates falling from God’s grace) and soon parlayed that success into something much more blasphemous; something that incorporates elements of Warhol-era rampant homosexuality and perversion, electronic “music” and lesbian-influenced haircuts. It is rumored that 1 in 3 women are raped at a Skrillex concert and forced to abort their children soon after.

Over 100% of homosexual gays listen to, or have listened to Skrillex in their life — mostly while participating in door-to-door recruitment for sex orgies or attempting to molest children in one of the patented “Rape Vans” used by the gay homo community.

In addition, Skrillex has launched a grotesque fashion trend, where upon weak-minded woman destroy their hallowed vessels of child birthing by SHAVING the side of their head — the same thing responsible for the downfall of Samson is being ENCOURAGED by this gnome-ish pervert. Skrillex will stop at nothing to get every teen in America hooked on dubstep and “ecstasy” (a potent street drug responsible for terrorism).

(Skrillex, shown here drinking “ecstasy”, in particular the potent “X3″ version)

As a proud parent of four, healthy, able-bodied children, I urge all fellow parents to think thrice before allowing their own children to attend a dubstep show. These shows are full of unemployed “Occupiers” who seek to rape and maim your children and family life.  Skrillex fans are MORE likely to rob a gas station and set a retirement home on fire than 1000% of Christians.

Please join with me in boycotting dubstep and this evil, satanic harbinger of deceit."
