Why do redditors love Reddit D. James so much? Literally anyone can make his music in a cracked FL using the sampler and presets? Lay out some pads, add a simple hi hat with a few other random drums then wham you have a I Reddit because you Reddit album.
Meanwhile his contemporaries like Mike Paradinas and Venetian Snares mog him in every way and have a far more memorable catalogue when you listen to a Reddit Twin song you kinda just hear some pads and loops and that's the entire song for around 4 - 8 minutes.
Without marketing he would've been swiftly forgotten as "just another white d00d making ambient."

You could not make something like Drukqs because you're a retard who spends his time talking shit on the internet

his music is very pop music coded to the point some songs have a very vers chorus pop structure.
he also has a very public image right from the start with his face being all over everything very different from early 90s techno scene which was lot more about the artist being faceless and unknown.

He's made some very good tracks but out of all the people who came out of the IDM thing he's by far the most overrated. My guess is normalfags are easily impressed by him because of the cheap contrast between mildly abrasive drums and le cutie vulnerable ghibli piano pieces. It gets boring fast, but of course this people never dig deeper and if they do they've most likely allowed themselves to grow emotionally attached to Afx.

I've listened to so much Vibert stuff but only a few albums have stuck with me over the years, like Throbbing Pouch and Drum n Bass which aren't exactly representative of the Vibert sound

Nowadays he's mainly seen as a pioneer
Also, his music has a particular, playful, comfy feel to it that makes it stand out, which by now is nostalgic in a 90's Britain kind of way too

hell, maybe the music maker of selected reddit works is a freemason or something artificially boosted compared to his contemporaries

The average person has an unbelievably tenuous grasp on how sound design works. They want to recognize "brilliance" in audio engineering as a musical skill but they don't have any fucking clue what's difficult or clever or novel. A typical person understands guitar or piano or voice well enough to hear a performance and be able to clock "wow, that person must have some serious chops" but the average person "critiquing" electronic music just doesn't have a fucking clue.AFX has been cargo culted to hell and back. You say you like him because you understand that he is meant to have some serious talent, some serious prowess behind the knobs of a synthesizer, and how the fuck would you know one way or the other? Therefore he must be good, pleb. Please don't ask me to explain why though.

I appreciiate Venetian Snares' dedication to detail but I've gotta be in a particular mood to enjoy it.
Aphex is simpler but the vibes are impeccable.

he's the definition of "i'm so quirky cringe lmao xD"
also he's hugely overrated
afx is very good but overrated. people claiming he's the goar are ignorant or tourists.
bandwagoner of detroit techno, ambient, breaks, jungle: not an innovator
