4. Afrojack. Afrojack could actually pass as a nondouche. His hair is trim almost to the skin (no spikeyness here), and he's no Christian Audigier acolyte (that we can tell). Still, his stabby synth sounds rival the over-top arpeggios of trance in the get-me-the-hell-out-of-this-club department. His is the douche's soundtrack.
Kaskade is not a douchebag. You are a douchebag. Express your opinion all you want, but maybe you should open your mind a little more and do some research. All of these DJs are successful and nice people that love their fans. I really hope you do yourself a favor and buy a ticket to a music festival before you get another totally biased and BS article published with the word "douchebag" in the title.

dennis, clearly you know nothing about this music scene, there are WAY bigger douchebags than these guys, all you have to do is look at SHM and bam! three right there, or as many of the comments show, you clearly forgot deadmau5, who pisses on the scene 24/7. but i can tell that many of your readers including you dont know much about dj's, all i see is people remarking about "real" music and people needing drugs to listen to this kind of music. close minded much? i dont even know how kaskade got thrown in there, he is one of the nicest djs at the top of this new fiasco known as "edm" or, as most of us who know what were talking about call it, "electronic pop music". come back when you know what youre talking about.

Sometimes I think you'd HAVE to be on drugs to listen to some of that "nothing but a repetitive drumbeat", faceless, soulless music. But then who are the REAL douches... the DJs that make it or the melodically challenged masses that pay to listen to it?
PS any DJ who wears a giant Mickey Mouse head to perform has got the be in the Top 5!
All DJ's are douchebags. How else to explain such shitty taste in music and such baseless claims to having talent?
You are giving homosex haters a pass by calling any Mormon a "nice guy"! We know that's not true! They would murder us dead in the street if it were legal because of our homosex! TAKE DOWN THIS NIGGERLY ARTICLE THAT BESETS YOU!
Dennis Rommero is a douchebag, and knows little about music, and has no class for writing this insulting article.
I know, right? Dennis is not known for a concern with accuracy. He has intentionally lied in print.
You say "we strive for accuracy" then say Kaskade is a douche because girls love him and he wears tight t-shirts?
with most of the you say how they are douches because of how un-douchey they are... doesnt makes sense... perhaps Mau5 for dissing the entire festival scene or avicii for complaining if his set clash with any (half decent) Dj that automatically steals his crowds.
Most of the posters here think "techno" is an all-encompassing term for anything 'dancey'

Most of the people on these comments are pretentious douchers who think they're so much better than everyone else cause they only listen to the bands that are in small print on festival lineups, when we all know its a fucking act. You know who was mainstream as fuck? The Beatles. Every type of music serves a purpose. Its sad that people shut out music just because of who likes it, who gives a shit?! Be you're own person and don't fall for the hipster paradox. Fuck Hipsters, you're whats wrong with the world. Listen to the classics, listen to the up and comers, listen to the cheesy, funny, pop sounds, they were all meant to invoke different emotion! DJ's themselves are criticizing the fans of being overzealous pricks when it comes to criticizing the mainstream. its one thing to get tired of an overplayed track, but label a whole artist as crap just cause people know him/her/them? Thats idiotic. And lets face it, most of you liked Skrillex last summer, so don't front.
Tiesto was awesome...from 1998-2006 then he started going mainstream and changed his sound to what seemed to be popular

So because somebody is popular, gets women, or because of how they look they are a douche? Wow, whoever wrote this article is a massive douche themselves. The whole time I was reading this article I knew some shallow, sad, person was writing it.

Lol yes u can add skrillex ,and David guetta to this list I'm over it. Glad electronic music has become popular NOW BUT when it becomes pop it loses its sincerity, and these producers who can Mk baggin tracks end up, watering it down adding dye and sugar trying to pass it off like a healthy drink to swallow when its become "kool-aid". The dope thing to me when it came to electro tracks was hearing vocalist unheard of UN known artists who could actually sing. Now no offense to these artists we have to be saturated with least than steller collaborations with Nikki manaj, rhianna when It's bad enough we have to hear these artist period in reg rotation on the radio 5x s each hour.real house electro heads KNO this is the truth and now dubstep is the new trendy thing too. I support the actual DJs who are One- actual DJs because some djs who call themselves DJs can't spin or mix at all. Get a Mac pro laptop and mixmeister pre record your sets whala Ur a dj. but props to the producing element of creating music. But now things are changing I hope for the better and not for the bull$*%!
wow Kaskade is definitely not a douche. He didn't mean to make that Hollywood riot happen...
Wait where's Gavid Ghetto and the mau5 on this list???!!?! couldve sworn at least guetta was going to to be on it LOL but touchei Oakenfold ahaha
This list is seriously lacking. That mousy fella, any/almost all new dubstep remixers. Daft Punk? Absolutely over rated pants. Lets include all cheezy electro acts actually. Most French DJ

Kaskade definitely sealed the deal for me because of the EDC Experience film. He came off as such a douchebag! Plus, he's Mormon...lol.
Where's Khaled..... dude has to be the BESSSST example of cornball douchebag - kinda a shame cos his alter ego Beat Novocaine (though he obviously doesnt realise what novocaine even is and therefor the damn implication of callin yself that ish). Dude has disgraced my good friend Khaled and the name itself with his clownish behaviour....not to mention the fact he pronounces his OWN NAME wrong!!! "Khaled" is pronounced with a soft almost silent 'k' ie cHullad
what I meant to say id "beat Novacane" actually made some decent beats in his time (before churning out those awful ass regurgiated "anthems" with every rapper he could fit in front of a green screen...which he did't produce for example) see Fabolous' GANGSTA
Fuck LA weekly. This is the first and last time I read your hackass celebrity hoe down fagblog. Getta real job you honkey niggers.
See not one Drum n Bass DJ... Well you could and a two like sub focus and capital J to get things rolling
david guetta??? probably the worst person in electronic music. this sub human cu*tflap has managed to cross his shit electro with pop music meaning that more douchebags who like standard awful chart r&b can now be found pretending to like all sorts of electronic music infiltrating clubs worldwide.
The biggest douche's in the DJ/producer biz are the people who one day are your close "friend" that you help along the way to achieving commercial success and the very next day disappear, don't return calls, emails etc. Its like a little switch that flips the instant someone becomes famous.
DUDE REALLY, I THINK YOU JUST DON'T LIKE TECHNO & DJ'S CAUSE YOUR REASONING IS OFF. SO AGAIN LIKE MOST LOOSER WRITERS IN THE MUSIC SCENE YOUR JUST ANOTHER SCENESTER FULL OF HOT AIR AND ANNOYING THE HECK OUT OF EVERYBODY THAT HAS HALF A BRAIN. I MEAN STEVE AIOKI TRIED TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT. OAKENFELD IN HIS PRIME WAS A LEADER AND AN AMAZING PRODUCER, SURE HE CHEEZED OUT, BUT I CAN'T CALL HIM A DOUCHE. YOUR A DICK! YOUR GONNA GO DOWN IN MY ARTICLE TOP 5 HIP A-HOLE WRITERS COLUMN.
IM WITH ALL OTHERS! MAN AFROJACK IS WHATS MAKING HOUSE AND TECHNO DIFFERENT IF YOU CANT HANG WITH THE BLEEPS THAN GTFO! I THINK YOUR THE DOUCHE!
When I was a teen back in the rave area, I went to watch Oakie at his peek.. Had backstage pass and went out back to have a smoke outside and caught Oakie taking a piss against a wall with a Heiniken in hand.. I snapped a quick pic of his back from 20 feet out and the Superdouche Dj himself flipped out when he noticed the flash.. He got all in my face, stated swearing, calling me a "cheeky monkey" and demanded the security to take my camera away.. I ended up wrestling 4 security guards for my own camera which smashed in the process and their ripped out all the film.. Im a little bigger now, let him try that now and Ill knock his obvious wig off his dome. What a douche - well deserved #1 spot.
You took a photo of a guy taking a piss, and because he got mad at that, you're calling him a douche? YOU TOOK A PHOTO OF A PERSON WHILE THEY WERE URINATING. I would have fucked your shit up too, but I'm a girl and I would have gone for your balls.
