He or it confuses me. Can multiple people explain.
Also I pronounce the name only as dead mau five.
Also, he is releasing his new album on the same day that the Tron Legacy soundtrack comes out. I don't understand.
-
from what i understand he's well liked by people without correct musical taste.
-
He's Canadian
-
I figured. deadmau5 was one of those things where I saw the name and I saw the fans and I automatically generated the opinion of "no" without any other real basis. I have since heard some songs and it was just kind of like, "huh", bordering on "no", again. I do not understand the creepy giant mouse helmets or the fandom or the numeric spelling.
I want to learn more, keep talkin

In my head I start doing that and then give up when I decide it sounds ridiculous and end up just pronouncing it as "deadmouf", which makes it sound like I have a particularly unsual lisp. In my head.

-
he has a couple decent tracks but most of it's boring as fuck. he put on a decent live show at sasquatch but we only really saw him because no one else good was playing.
-
He is a Tech House guy that Bass Music fans like, generally.
-
from what i understand he's well liked by people who like DJs with big mouse head masks.
he's got about 3 good tunes, shame he's released closer to 3,000
-
He arrived on the bloghaus scene way too late for anybody to even have residual good feelings about him (see: Justice/Boyz Noise/Digitalism et al) and as such is pretty much entirely the preserve of bros
-
At least he's got a sense of humour with it though, when he was voted onto the top 100 DJs and asked in an interview why that might be, his answer was just "'cos I wear a big mouse head"
-
He arrived on the bloghaus
Shouldn't that be "bloghau5"?
-
Anna the title of this thread should be "What is a deadmau5?"
-
done.
stupid internet! be more funny!
(i'm procrastinating studying for finals right now)
-
What drugs are you supposed to be on when you listen to the music of Deadmau5?
-

Natty Lite?
-
Caffeine tablets that someone told you was Ecstasy
-
See this is way more elucidating than the rest of the thread.
-
ive always thought of dead mouse as a total coke band

Holy shit this is the most douchey thing you've ever said.
You're literally saying "he sounds just like artists that everyone agreed were awesome two years ago but because it's two years later he's suitable only for a lesser subculture of people who have infamously poor taste."

Whoa, whoa there.
Whoa.
Anyway I don't really agree that Deadmau5 is a bloghaus-y sort of DJ. The thing about bloghaus was that it was essentially just an attempt to turn DJ music into a new cock rock. Deadmau5 is not cock rock, it's very much electronic music first and foremeost. It's just bland electronic music. He's like Dirty Vegas / Oakenfold but like 6 / 11 years later. He's not of a particular scene, but an average dude might have some idea of who he is.
To be perfectly honest, it's something of a wonder he ended up in that ridiculous beef with Rusko and half of the UK "hard" dubstep old guard. He sounds like a business-savvy square, unassuming and unoffensive.

I don't really think there's anything particularly outrageous about pointing out that bloghaus really hasn't done anything to keep itself interesting or relevant in the past two/three years and has basically gotten beyond stagnant to the point of self-parody. Bloghaus isn't popular with anybody except people with infamously poor taste because nothing interesting is happening in the genre to deserve attention from the non-bros and, what's more, has pretty much embraced with open arms their continued popularity among the habitually shirtless and shitfaced.
Also, really? Most douchey? Come on man, give me a bit more credit than that.
-
Also last I checked this entire thread was predicated on being a douche so dog/sunglasses

-

I did, it was very profound. I've now changed my mind forever and I'm currently drafting up a letter to Mr. Mau5 to personally apologise and offer compensatory blowjobs.
Oops, I'm being a douche again aren't I?
-
beep boop beep boop! ah ha ha!
-
First thing I noticed in this douchey frat drug dealer story (http://gawker.com/5708350/the-great-columbia-frat-boy-drug+dealing-ring) is their common Deadmau5 fandom.
-
Oh man, one of those guys definitely looks like one of the Other Guys in a boy band.
-
Oh man one of those guys is brothers/classmates with a good friend of mine. :/
