Stop Making Remixes of "Levels"

If you haven't heard "Levels" by Swedish DJ and badass Avicii yet, then get out from under your rock and get the wiener out of your ears. This 2011 mega-hit is accredited for giving hard-ons to music lovers everywhere, launching electronic dance music (EDM) into the mainstream and still is one of my favorite songs (it still may be when I'm still raging at 71). "Levels" has launched Avicii from an underground DJ to one of the most sought after musical acts in the world, setting him up for other hits such at "Nicktim," "Seek Bromance," and "Fade Into Darkness." Unfortunately, everyone seems to want to piggyback on the success of "Levels," and now everyone with a computer and Garageband is finding it necessary to remix "Levels," and this needs to stop now.

Don't get me wrong -- remixing is a huge part in the hip-hop and EDM community, as it allows artists to put their own touch on a song. However, when everyone and their goldfish start doing so, it becomes a little old. Even worse, the remixes aren't even that good. Take this "gem" for example, which literally takes the original version and puts a latin beat over top of it. Seriously?

And here's another brilliant remix that literally takes the original song, takes the main chorus, plays it backwards, and throws it back into the original. 

See what I mean? At first, the remixes were sweet because the song was relatively new, but the novelty has worn off by now. The remixes are getting worse and worse. It's like taking a dead dog and tying strings to it's paws and trying to get it to pretend it's still alive. BUT IT'S NOT. Let the dog be.

I think the biggest exception to this is from dubstep artist Skrillex, who takes the original song and turns it into something that completely fits the dubstep genre and within the style of Skrillex itself. The remix goes pretty hard too, even as someone who has hesitantly began to get into dubstep.

Not bad, huh? Now let's take another artist who took "Levels" and made it his own. No, seriously, this peckerhead actually ripped off the song, added some nonsense words that even he can't understand, and put a new title on it. Totally stealing Avicii's well earned thunder, bro, totally stealing it. I, of course, am talking about world-famous rip-off artist and douchenozzle Flo Rida. Everyone's heard "Good Feeling" by now and the only proper response is to want to vomit, eat up the vomit, and then vomit once again. This atrocity goes against every unwritten rule in the music industry, and I truly hope that Avicii is earning royalties every time this turd is performed.

Catchy, yes, but so is every other song with a 6-1-5-4 chord progression. (look it up) My point is that the original "Levels" by Avicii needs to stop being remixed and messed with, because the song which may be the poster child for EDM in mainstream music can and will lose validity and at this point, it's just embarrassing with all these remixes coming out. It's like how everyone loves the original "Land Before Time" movie and then they decided to make 4,729 more sequels. Knock it off. Create some original music, so you as an artist can be known for having a different sound, instead of having the same sound of every high schooler on their mom's Macbook. Oh, and create some original music so I can stop throwing up from all these poor remixes.
