Skrillex is the stage name of American producer Sonny Moore, who helped bring aggressive dubstep, often called brostep, into mainstream pop culture in the early 2010s. His tracks became known for growling bass drops, pitch shifted vocal chops and abrupt changes in intensity. Short excerpts like this one circulate online because a few seconds are enough to signal that style instantly. Editors reuse the drop as a shorthand for chaos, power or an over the top reaction in gaming videos, edits and memes.
