There is no single genre that Skrillex does, though they all fit within the realms of Electronic Dance Music (EDM). He is often referred to as a Dubstep artist, however he is actually a pioneer of a genre known as brostep. While the structure of brostep is nearly identical to dubstep, it has several key differences. Dubstep emphasizes modulation of the bass (hence the use of "wubwubwub" in describing dubstep), whereas brostep usually runs the bass through a vowel filter. While dubstep tends to keep a single noise for the drop, brostep is more chaotic in that it switches between various bass noises and synth leads and screeches. The tone of the song is also usually darker, particularly in the drop. Brostep is to dubstep what metal is to rock. This doesn't make it bad, however. It's just another genre to be enjoyed for its own merits and impact on EDM as a whole.
