Who Actually Listens to... Skrillex?

Noisey has a new show called "Who Actually Listens To..." about people who actually listen to ridiculous bands. For the first episode, we went to a Skrillex show to find out if the sad-eyed koala bear's fans really are part of a new musical revolution.

Does this lady like Skrillex? Because it looks like she might.

A new show started over at Noisey today called "Who Actually Listens To…" The first fanbase we've decided to examine is that which belongs to Skrillex, the sad-eyed, brostep koala bear and scourge of every dark 'n' deep dubstep purist (a new "backpack hip-hop" equivalent term I just invented) on planet Earth. Oh yeah, he also happens to be an icon to legions of adoring teenagers with garish personalities and Obey caps.
