WHY DOES EVERYONE HATE MARTIN GARRIX? ...Oh Yeah, I know...




     So Mixmag posted an interesting article the other day talking about how the irrational hate for Skrillex is over. I thought it addressed a good point because for years I was watching the whole dance music community slam this dude when i thought he hadnt done anything but be successful. Even if you dont like or care about dubstep there is no reason to HATE Skrillex. People just get mad when they feel like someone is getting more credit than anyone else.





     It's no different in Hip Hop. I saw Lil Wayne go from hip-hop's MVP to most hated. Why? Maybe his punchlines started to lack a bit, but why treat him like he's the worst rapper of all time? It's because when someone is that famous people feel like they should be masters of pleasing everyone, which is not the case. I could do on about the accomplishments Lil Wayne and Skrillex have overcome but this article isnt about them.



     Martin Garrix bursted threw the EDM scene with the biggest dance single since "Levels" and at only 17. He was immediately accused of having a ghost producer and quickly put those rumors to rest when he posted an hour long video of him showing how he made the song.


     Most huge dance singles need vocals to carry them to Top 40 success (i.e. Levels, Clarity, Get Lucky) but Martin Garrix managed to make the chart smashing, #1 single with no other words but "we're the fckin animals". So we have a 17 year old kid who produced this track by himself (quite a feat in today's standards), got it put out on one of the biggest dance labels in the world, had it blow up in the UK and then #1 in the US.. You get it. But I dont. Why do we all still hate on this kid? why do we care?



     People say his sound is generic but i would like to argue that. When Led Zeppelin put out a record, it sounds like led zeppelin. Same with just about any band in the history of time. So why cant Martin Garrix have his own sound? That percussive click sound you hear in the drop was not "over done" when Animals first came out. Most of us had never herd anything like that at all at the time. Plus, check out tracks like BFAM and his new track Proxy. Neither of the drops sound like Animals or Wizard. 



     A lot of people are going to think I'm a Martin Garrix dick rider but that is not the case. I'm pretty 50/50 on the kid. In the same token how could i hate on a 17 year old kid that made it from nothing to something with one song? So lets stop this.. realize that you would probably give your left nut to have made Animals and reaped the same benefits.
