Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
Also your leverage is "I won't post this artist anymore that about 95% of the board thinks is terrible but that somehow hasn't stopped me from really taking a hard look at my taste and re-evaluating my stand on him for some reason."
So I think it might be better just to cut your losses on this and take this deal.
Guten Tag, Nodepression
Unlike you, what other people think of me or the artist's music I enjoy, has no basis on how much I enjoy that music. I would never stop enjoying someones music just because a particular clique or "bro/frat" society started enjoying it also.

Actually, it has stopped him from really taking a hard look at his taste. You of all people...
Yea, I've kind of boxed him in to some sort of contrarian every-man contrarian role unfortunately.
Would you please stop trying to portray yourself as some sort of victim Phi. You yourself admitted that part of your goal in this whole Skrillex thing is to make people angry:
The fact that me saying "Skrillybear" actually upsets someone that much, is laughable.
EDIT: And apparently everyone but YOU realizes that me saying "Skrillybear" is obviously a joke and me just making fun of myself. Not my fault you and others take it so seriously.

This isn't The Price Is Right. Just act like grown ups, problem solved.
Well, we tried that approach remember? I keep Skrillex in this thread, everyone else keeps the bashing in the other threads. It didnt work.
Kinda hard to do when there are like 3 members of the board who like Skrillex and only one that posts regularly, while everyone else completely loathes him and everything he stands for. If you wanna hear transformers fighting, just watch the movie. It'll be more enjoyable than any skrillex song.

Lol thanks for being a perfect example of why we are even having this discussion.
Is it really that hard for all of you to just make a "Bash Skrillex Thread" and take all your elitists opinions and posts there, and not post here and let the people who are actually looking forward to the set (no matter how many people that is) have a place to post?

I'll (me personally) will stop if you stop posting in my thread, deal?
This could be my last post in your thread!
Even though this only mean you will have your thread back, while mine will continue to be trolled and wrecked on a daily basis, fine, I will make this deal as a mature peace offering.

Or we can keep this troll vs troll thing going.
I can play either way.
I don't even care about Skrillex. Not my thing but whatever. What I do care about is how you have to go around every corner of this board shoving him down our throats.

Sonny Moore seems like a really nice guy, doesn't come off as douchey, or pompous, and seems genuinely interested and passionate about what he's doing.
Here's a full set with somewhat decent video/audio.
I'm looking forward to checking his set out, as well as SBTRKT, FlyLo, Major Lazer, Little Dragon, and MiMOSA. And no, thats not a troll attempt.
I saw him at Electric Zoo on Labor Day Weekend. There were some other acts I saw that I like a lot more (SBTRKT, Chromeo, Moby), but there were a lot of acts I stopped by that I felt were a lot worse than Skrillex. His set was at least fun, everyone was dancing and going nuts, so I enjoyed that. The music isn't my thing, but I'm pretty sure if you go to the show you'll have fun based on the crowd alone.
I love how nodepression the current champion at using Phil Collins, baseball, and any other off topic thing he can think of to troll threads was crying for a deal after two skrillex posts. That is almost as good as me getting reported for posting inappropriate pictures in other threads.
However nodepression here is a deal offer from me. Stop derailing threads of artists you don't like and stop harrassing people in general, and I will not start posting about the merits of Skrillex in your thread.... I bet I could keep it 50% or so Skrillex related if I put my mind to it.
let me know, this could be your chance to keep me out.

Interesting to see all of the leather-bound inforoo music snobbery this year is focused on Skrillex instead of the more generic categories of EDM that people look down on. Very efficient. People used to have to go entire pages of threads defining the types of music they hated, getting into abstract subjects like subjectivity, relativity, etc. Merciless elitist super-hate is the necessary anomaly of a really well-versed music community like Inforoo, and this year the anomaly has been personified by Skrillex. Skrillex might be Inforoo's Neo.
