Yup its all about the musical style.
For example if you tried to make a trance track sound as loud as Skrillex's stuff it would be such a distorted hideous mess.
Like it or hate it, the dubstep genre is very much a genre of our age, which is the bombastic in your face generation. It's all about big powerful singular sounds, but one at a time. You thrust those punch percussions one by one and likewise with the sounds its all about creating one massive screaming sound one after the other sometimes holding the note sometimes very quick jumps.
Because there isn't lots of multiple sounds going on at once, it means you can focus on making that one sound as huge as possible taking up all the available bandwidth. The dynamics then come from the spaces in-between, ie its more about the use of timing.
Trying to create that big sound with equal loudness with a mix that has many layers simultaneously is just impossible.
