Why Does America Love Skrillex? | Vulture

popculturebrain:

I ask myself this question every day.

Though I have lost taste for Skrillex and the whole brostep scene, nobody can criticize Sonny Moore’s ability to sell his product. It may not be the best music in the world, but it is what mainstream American culture can understand and what will sell the most records in the shortest period of time.
