The personal life section says that Skrillex's mother passed in June of 2015, but this is incorrect; that's just the month of the citation. It can be inferred that his mother passed in March of 2015, per this tweet of his: https://x.com/Skrillex/status/1614874800715104256. 24.21.79.49 (talk) 07:22, 28 April 2025 (UTC)

I've removed it completely. Two reasons;

• As questioned above, it is possibly inaccurate, and we shouldn't be "inferring" what is correct.
• It's not really that pertinent to the article subject. Personally, obviously important to him. But everyones' mother dies, and unless there it had some particular significance to Skrillex's notability, it's not worth mentioning.

Skrillex has joked that his DJ name was "just a silly name" he liked. However, it's been rumored that Skrillex is a combination of his three demo names: Signal, Equinox and Glow Worm. The S is from Signal. The K was a creative choice. The R is from Glow Worm. The I is from Signal or Equinox. The two Ls come from Signal and Glow Worm. The E and X are from Equinox. (In other words, SignalEquinoxGlowWorm = Skrillex) Cygote (talk) 23:12, 1 June 2025 (UTC)

 This isn't going to be added. This is extremely farfetched and has no sources linked. Octostomp (talk) 00:09, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

While Signal, Equinox and Glow Worm are all track names on his unreleased 2007 Bells album, its strange for him to pick 3 random tracks from it and combine them in a mish-mosh way. Its more commonly assumed that the name is an adaptation of the "Skrill" and "Skrilly" nicknames his friends game him that he then used on AOL. OryonWithAnI (talk) 07:36, 9 March 2026 (UTC)

More focus should be placed on FUS as it is his 4th major LP release, along with the new EPs across these past few months (Hit Me Where It Hurts X, Kora). This is a big change with a lot of citing so it should be a collective effort. Octostomp (talk) 00:12, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

Under Awards and nominations, the Berlin Music Video Awards results are not color-coded to match the rest of the table. In this category, boxes labeled "Nominated" can be changed to red, and boxes labeled "Won" to green. The results in this category are also not center-justified and should be changed to center-justified text to fit with the rest of the Results column.

There are also nominations in 2025 and 2026 that can be added under the Grammy subcategory by extending the table to include the years 2025 and 2026 and the nominations for those years. In 2025, the Fred Again.. & Baby Keem track leavemealone was nominated for Best Dance/Electronic Recording, which Skrillex is credited as a producer on. In 2026, Skrillex's album Fuck U Skrillex You Think Ur Andy Warhol but Ur Not!! (FUS) was nominated for Best Dance/Electronic Album. The track Voltage on FUS was nominated for Best Dance/Electronic Recording. All of the additions here were nominated and not won; the corresponding results boxes for these additions should be labeled "Nominated" and in the corresponding red color.

Partly done. I fixed the color coding, but I'll leave it to someone else more familiar with this for the rest. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 17:19, 9 March 2026 (UTC)

After checking, the rest is  Not done. You are now autoconfirmed and can make the edits yourself. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 17:21, 9 March 2026 (UTC)

Awesome thank you, at the time of making the suggestion I had not had 10 edits yet but I quickly got there yesterday. I'll get to it adding the material later today! OryonWithAnI (talk) 19:25, 9 March 2026 (UTC)
