Why he might be annoying:

    He looks like your typical hopped-up hippie-thug hybrid — speaking of which…
    He was, of all things, the drummer in at least three hardcore metal bands.
    His room in a student housing cooperative became a breeding ground for underground concerts, which would become The Pickle Patch.
    He was on his high school’s varsity badminton team (yes, badminton!).
    He regards tornadoes and hotel life as influences.
    Though he made guest appearances in video games NBA 2K8 and 2K9 (2008 and 2009, natch), he considers himself really bad at the sport itself.

Why he might not be annoying:

    The Look Right Now website archives nicknamed him ‘Kid Millionaire.’
    He achieved Bachelor of Arts degrees in Sociology and in Women’s Studies.
    Though he was a co-owner of two Los Angeles restaurants and one in New York, he did not follow fully in his father’s culinary footsteps (just as well).
    He named his record label – built in his early 20s – after his childhood idol.
    The PILLOWFACE site – promoted on his Dead Meat tour in 2012 – is billed as a Craigslist for college students.
    He made remixes of works dating as far back as Duran Duran and collaborated with acts such as LMFAO and Tiesto.
