So I guess it really dawned on me last night how terrible of a form of music EDM is. Can we even call it music? As a genre, it attracts vapid, young white youths who are basic at heart and bring nothing to the table intellectually. If you genuinely enjoy EDM as an adult, you’re probably stunted emotionally or mentally. I outgrew this form of generic and popular music when I was 18 or 19, and I think that’s pretty telling. People who enjoy EDM probably think it’s catchy, or has cool beats. But the concerts are nothing but breeding grounds of degenerate white kids. Creating beats on a drum machine is easy. These artists just sit behind keyboards. That’s not really talent, it’s pushing buttons. A classically trainer animal can do that. Oh you think it’s so cool and edgy that kids fall in love, Kygo? And you’re going to title your tour “Kids in Love?” That’s neat. The themes are banal. If you want to explore love, and loss, read some classic literature. If you feel alienated, pick up some Salinger. If you want to be immersed in nature or the wild outdoors, read Steinbeck, Frost or Hemingway. If you want raw emotions, read some of Rupi Kaur’s poetry.
Does an adult who likes EDM really know of the complexities or intricacies of life? I just feel like they don’t truly know what life has to offer. It’s easy to hide behind catchy tunes and designer drugs. But life is hard, and should be dealt with a sober and clear mind. By opening your eyes and your heart you can witness so much. Life is experienced through good music, through literature, through experience. Life is full of love and loss and death and rebirth. Life is not something that can easily be explained by simple themes. EDM artists are just kids. What do they know about life?
