Skrillex vs. Mosquitoes

People all have their own opinions on whether Skrillex's music falls under the category of what most people refer to as "sick" music, but if a Malaysian study is to be believed, it can at least help us fend off some mosquitoes. It was really published in 2019 and is based on the idea that noises or other sorts of frequencies could be utilized to stop the spread of diseases carried by mosquitoes. However, for whatever reason, the study's focus was just on one of his songs.

When mosquitoes were mating, they played Skrillex's "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" and observed the results. It turns out that the song has a considerable impact on their mating behaviors and could even be deliberately employed to manage mosquito numbers in a certain location. However, scientists didn't go into detail about why this occurs or what lyrics the mosquitoes found offensive. We wonder if they were even serious about the idea as they make no more attempts to try it with different music or artists.
