This may already be the image you have in your mind of Skrillex’s fan base, but let’s get real: these are actual kids, and they really are getting introduced to electronic dance music through Skrillex for the first time.
“What is dubstep?”
Darned if I know any more, kid.
What have we learned?
1. All kids sound cooler when they have English accents. (It’s unreal. They can be throwing a temper tantrum and still sound oddly sophisticated, or at least charmingly in-character. CDM’s sizable readership of English people may wonder what the heck I’m talking about, then dare me to buy an umbrella and take up babysitting until I come to my senses.)
2. This video will prompt haterade in comments so long as you have a soul made of ice.
3. Kids can dance.
4. These kids look cooler than I do.
5. Saying you need to take substances to understand Electronic Dance Music is a fair statement – that is, provided you have entirely lost connection with your inner child or ability to dance. (That’s not to judge the use of such substances one way or another, only to say viewing any substance as a prerequisite to music appreciation may be overstatement. This does bring new meaning to candy ravers, however.)
6. VICE got kids dancing to Skrillex. What should CDM introduce them to? (Xenakis might terrify them; how about Aphex Twin?)
After all, I do hear dance music advocates routinely point out that Skrillex could be an introduction to young folks to electronic music that opens more doors later. These kids are absolutely getting a fresh start.
“Where’s the after-party?”
Updated: Answer – after-party is right here…
3-year old: “I’m a Jungalist!!!”
(Thanks, Gwydion!)

My son (age 10) has been listening to Aphex Twin since birth and will often request his albums while we drive to various places. He likes the more energetic stuff and has a thing for acid. He loves Electronic Dance Music and makes tunes with me.
that’s awesome.

They sound like Mummy and Daddy just brought them down from Mussy Hill for the day.
In between shoots they get their organic rye, hummous and wild turnip sandwiches….
I love the way we anthropomorphise children……like ha they’re less developed than we are…funny!

That was really cute. Kids have no filter, I love it. And I agree %100 with your bullet points, especially #1.
My kids are 4 and 10 months, sometimes they like the music I make/listen to, other times I think it annoys them (just like adults). They still prefer “wheels on the bus” and “down by the bay” for sure.
1 other note…there is show on Nick Jr called Yo Gabba Gabba that has some really great music in it, from chiptune to electro to straight rock, awesome stuff and kids are into it.

Oh it is so true. WIth their English accents, they seem much more intelligent and cultured than we North American colonists could ever be. They are our colonial masters.

On point 5. above, let’s get real: there’s no way this music would have ever appealed to a culture who only consumed tea and biscuits. All good fun, but let’s be careful when kids are involved.

My five year old actually dislikes Skrillex. But she loves when i turn on my Elektron Machinedrum. 😉
Interesting is this especially when you hear the comments that parents say about Skrillex, once their kids introduces them to his music. “That makes me go out and do things!”.
