In the past few years EDM
(Electronic Dance Music) has been an increasing fad. Growing more and more
every year and nobody knows what has initiated this growth spurt, but we do
know a few big names who were around to reap the benefits from it. Such as, the
infamous Deadmau5. Known for not holding back on any offensive, insulting,
crude comments and rants. Definitely had quite a bit to say about this growing
trend and admits EDM is “Dying.”
“As they say,
the rat is the first one to jump off the boat when it starts going down, and
that’s kind of what’s happening. It’s already been going down the last couple
of years, for me. Maybe not in the industry. Maybe there’ll be a whole new herd
of sheep following that shit, and fucking good luck. Disco had a longer run
than EDM has, to be honest about it, and that died in a fucking hurry. EDM is
way more susceptible because that was in a time when they didn’t have mass
social media and all that shit. It’s not gonna be me saying, “OK, EDM’s done,”
and the whole thing falls apart, but I think it’ll eventually fuck itself so
hard.” – Joel ‘Deadmau5’ Zimmerman
Though, it is
saddening for me, since I am a true EDM connoisseur. I have to face the fact
that Joel is right. Everything comes in waves, and it all recycles itself. EDM
will die out very soon from all the DJ’s and Producers using the same washed
out sounds and rhythms. People are going to start fading away from it.
