Don’t know who this is? Add black-rimmed glasses and shave the side of his head and it’s Skrillex. I wouldn’t have been able to guess it was him; rather, I’d suppose I saw this kid or one of his ilk at Six Flags or the mall in my adolescence. In all sincerity, I can’t picture Skrillex’s youth any differently. His style in the past makes sense in the present. And now he’s all grown up and giving me massive headaches for money!

Look back at other famous music stars’ beginnings and how much they’ve changed. 




Drake, who I will forever associate with Degrassi, looks adorable in glasses. I’ll drop Jimmy a line and suggest that he should consider a bespectacled limelight for my sake. Maybe not like these.

Check out the gallery to see some throwback times of the biggest stars dominating music today. You can also see even more pictures at the source.

Any musicians that stand out? Who looks the same and who can you not even recognize?
