my dad had a friend who kept up with music and wasn’t stuck in the 70s/80s like my dad is and he was showing Technologic by Daft Punk to my dad in our living room and I remember little 6 year old me going absolutely feral to it. i’d never heard anything like it before and I just kept asking them to play it again so I could “break dance” (flail around wildly) to it. that’s the first time I remember being captivated by a song like that
years later my brother showed me Kill Everybody by Skrillex and I remember asking him if it was Daft Punk because that’s the only thing I could think of that sounded remotely similar. ended up getting super into skrillex and between ages 11-13 I pretty much exclusively listened to skrillex, and mostly rips from youtube of old/unreleased stuff. skrillex got me into a bunch of other artists through his label OWSLA that’s defunct now but had a sick lineup between 2012-2016 that was super foundational to my music tastes.

had to look at the site I linked to measure but not ashamed to say i’m very into all these artists. surprised to see my most mainstream fav artist in terms of spotify monthlies was tv girl but I guess the young zoomers are super into them. surprised they’re #297 for most monthly listeners ahead of Daft Punk and all the others I listed. anyway if you’ve written off skrillex after his dubstep era please give his album Quest for Fire from last year a listen if you are at all into electronic or dance music it’s actually so well done
