Just don’t call it goth. “We’re not really big goth […]

8. Wild Card 2025: Skrillex

   With his album F*CK U SKRILLEX YOU THINK UR ANDY WARHOL BUT UR NOT, there were simply no rules. The album, released on April 1 (but no joke), is listened to as a seamless live mix. The 34 track, 46 minute journey lands like a blockbuster movie that doesn’t quit until its playfully arpeggiated end credits.
