Unfortunately for Skrillex, he has a decent amount of people who hate on his work. The reviewer claims that Skrillex's sound cannot really be classified as dubstep, and in that aspect he is absolutely right. Skrillex is not dubstep because he does not neatly fit into one subgenre of EDM. His varying rhythms, sounds, and BPMs of his songs are a mixture of electro-house, dubstep, drum and bass, and even the latin-inspired moombahton. Part of the reason so many people hate on Skrillex is because he came from absolute obscurity to world-wide famehood in just 2 years. Originally a member of the hardcore/emo band "From First to Last," Sonny Moore AKA Skrillex started his journey as a DJ in east Los Angeles where he would play at underground events. Just 1 year and thousands of followers later, international superstar DJ Deadmau5 signed Sonny Moore to his label, Mau5trap and Skrillex released his first EP entitled "My Name is Skrillex" which quickly rose to the top of the Beatport Top 10 list for EDM. Many people hate on Skrillex because his sound is unique, raw and un-classifiable Others hate on Skrillex for being signed to the Mau5trap label. However, anyone with an eye for talent will see that Sonny Moore is an extremely gifted artist.
