He found a niche and exploited it; he also worked his ass off all year. He's smart with marketing and clearly motivated and determined.

It's a fad (albeit a popular one) like most genres.. he should cash in while he can.

Your view of this kind of music as a "fad" is probably how people overseas view country music in america......

Good for him. I'm not ashamed to say I like his music... Nothing groundbreaking and I'm sure it won't have longevity... but for now, I like it.

I don't like the music he makes as Skrillex, however when my old band opened for him when he toured on the Gypsyhook EP he was one of the nicest professional musicians I've met. We talked with him in the back/outside of old Emo's (Austin) for at least an hour before the show about anything and everything. He was geniunly excited and grateful that we opened for him and thankful he was getting to play the show. Great guy.

Genres of music become fads. Of course it's merely a prediction, but I don't anticipate him making this much money ever again.

Ha, ever say a word so many times it sounds weird? "Fad" is doing that for me now.

I'm retarded.

Playing the guitar is a fad.

Saying things are a fad is a fad.

Surprise, surprise, techno is a money-making machine. He'll be gone in five years.

And this guy is only 24 too right? Crazy
