Skrillex's 5 Grammy nominations

So it goes from 0 to 5 Grammys that is amazing for an  upcoming Dubstep dj who's progressed so much this year.  The nominations are for The best new artist "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" is up for Best Dance Recording, The album of the same name is up for Best Dance/Electronica Album, best mixed recording for cinema, and best short form music video for equinox. If you hated Skrillex for becoming popular before, well turn the hate dial up because the god of bro-step has just been nominated for a grammy under the category best new artist. Skrillex is in competition with Bon Iver (not new), Nicki Minaj, The Band Perry and J. Cole.  I wonder what label they’re going to slap on Skrillex? Whether they choose techno, electronic, dubstep or whatever else: will play a major role in how mainstream society views his music and stereotypes the rest of the electronic dance music community. He is the first electronic artist to ever get nominated for the award.
