Skrillex is part of a wave of American producers coming into dubstep from other genres. More often than not, these beatmakers make a violent racket characterized by overwhelming midrange "wobble" basslines, and have a general obsession with gore, macabre and the almighty "filth." It's "mosh" music as opposed to dance music.
He lends his music miles away from the garage and dub-inspired scenes in the UK.
His sound is overbearingly plain and simple. While he has a firm grasp on melody that eludes many of his peers, they're usually coated in headache-inducing layers of abrasive muck. The trancey hook of Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites' title track is equal to nails on a chalkboard, and the less said about its onomatopoeic bass growls the better.

My friend totally agrees that Skrillex sounds like a cat getting fucked up the arse with a jackhammer.

When at a music festival, one band overpowers another band from another stage.
Originating from Gillian Welch's performance at Austin City Limits Music Festival where Skrillex was playing at a nearby stage and overpowered her acoustic folk with bass-heavy dubstep

1. The artist that creates sounds in a genre that a majority of America's pop-cultural population is starting to listen to.
2. The artist that people with no live's, who sit around in their mother's basements, have listened to for several years.
