The Skrillex meme phenomenon centers on Sonny Moore, the face of the 2010s dubstep explosion. Characterized by his signature side-shaved hairstyle and heavy glasses, Skrillex became a symbol for the aggressive 'brostep' sound. Most memes feature references to his track 'First of the Year (Equinox)' and its famous 'Call 911 Now!' scream, or onomatopoeic representations of harsh electronic noises like 'Wub Wub.' Over time, the meme evolved from poking fun at the complexity of electronic music to a nostalgic tribute to the peak EDM era. It is frequently used to describe chaotic situations or moments where things escalate suddenly, much like a dubstep bass drop.
