I definitely prefer that to Skrillex/Korn. Not that I didn't like what Skrillex did, but I find this one far more... hmm... satisfying?

Definitely more of a liquid groove, that's for sure.

Slightly more partial to Jubei's use of Korn:

Almost certainly. He's (is it a he?) one of those people I've heard of without having heard the music, which isn't a good sign. Like Pendulum or Justin Beiber. If it was good music it would have found its way to me.

There's definently better music out there.

I'm really not a fan.. it just doesn't work for me at all. I haven't spent too much time listening to it though to give an honest drawn out opinion, I've heard his songs in stores and on TV. Don't want to hear more..

I just picked up two of their albums. A couple of their songs have been bouncing around in my head for days, and I finally submitted to that catchy beat...

Yes, but most mainstream music is. There are certainly much lesser known artists who make the same genre of music who make more advanced music with a lot more depth to their songs. Skrillex sounds generic and too trendy to me.

It seems like the broader populace is typically almost anti-depth. I've never fully understood what it is that people find dark, brooding, or negative about it (it almost seems like an emotional over-literalism).

I like Skrillex ...however he sometimes over uses the same beats and sounds ...and since he has been skrillex... he seems to make "new" songs but its just the same beats rearranged

He's not overrated, he's just misrepresented. He's not really dubstep, he's like an aggro, hard electro. Which is really awesome and has it's place, but it's not dubstep.

Yes and no. Is the media oversaturated with Skrillex right now? Yes? Is his stuff good? Yes. I mean, as far as things go, he has his own unique style and it's pretty cool. He's been around for quite a while, he originally started making stuff under Sonny Moore, in 2009?, that's quite some years ago now in 2012. I remember hearing Skrillex last year, early 2011, like about this time last year, my random longlost elementary schoolfriend recommended him to me, after I told him dubstep was lame. Well, I rocked Skrillex all last summer. It was one random thing in my life I got to be a hipster with and be like "LOL I liked him before he was popular." I actually predicted "yeah, he's gonna be on the radio pretty soon" and I was right.

So, I don't think he's overrated per se, just he's overexposed now, and now random little 12 year olds like Skrillex and think they're the coolest people ever. That and Skrillex is EVERYWHERE, nowadays. So yeah, I don't listen to Skrillex much anymore for those reasons, but I'm guessing in a year or so when the Skrillex thing dies down some, I'll start listening a bit more again.

But yeah, not overrated, just overexposed.

My feeling is the same, but, I don't think he's going anywhere because of the fact that he is a musical genius and knows how to really imprint emotional chords and passion into his brand of dubstep. He, Mord Fustang, Madeon, Joe Garston, and other masters of glitch-warping symphonies have a bright future ahead of them!
