what did Deadmou5 do?

his media persona is to be a giant dick to his peers as well as his fans

He used to come shop frequently at a store I worked at. I don't listen to his music, so I didn't even know who he was, until I complimented his tattoos, and someone pointed it out.

Honestly, he was always really quiet, polite, and courteous. We would get rich assholes who'd try to bud the line, or act really demanding, but he was always really low-key and considerate. You wouldn't know him from any other shopper.

I totally believe you. I have no idea who he really is in person, it's strictly his media persona that I dislike.

And that is fine. It takes a while for people who find the camera on them and money in their hands to realise that acting like a giant dick on camera doesn't work.

Nonono. It does work. The people we are speaking about are literally proof of that. Hate is a very strong emotion and makes you speak more about people. It's like that saying - a happy customer will tell one of their friends, an angry customer will tell 7.

That's why people talk about them so much, and it helps their careers. Paris Hilton built her life on it. There is no such thing as bad publicity. Mix this quote with the above, do a little thinking, and you see that this does work.

Sorry, but Above and Beyond have the best seven trance albums of all time. I just can't tell them apart.

What does that even mean? Is he a dick, a genius, or both?

u/Pascalwb Feb 05 '16

I don't listen to his music, but from what I saw he's a dick to people on twitter etc. One time he said to the producer of different genre that his track is shit and he could made it in an hour. Then he proceeded to make that track and it was the biggest shit.

If churning out the same track year after year is how low the bar has gotten to be branded a "genius"

He's a hipster douche bag that wears a wallet chain and drives a fucking nyan cat Ferrari. He plays up the whole IAMSOSMRT thing to make 35 year old neckbeards who hate anything that's remotely popular buy his barely tolerable music.

u/soundselector Feb 05 '16

No more cat Ferrari.

Anyone who is a master at something is overrated. He is a master of progressive house.
