In the past ten years a music known as EDM has all but taken over the main stream of every major music festival out there. It leaves us asking the question why do we keep paying all these folks enormous amounts of money to just press play. In fact, it is starting to be seen as such a joke even SNL picked up the opportunity to drop a jab.
As unfortunate as it is EDM and maybe just the way people are these days have led us to a new sort of problem with the whole industry, drug use. While drug use has always been a problem with any sort of real music application the real problem has been arising from individuals trying to cut the cost of the production of those drugs. In fact it has been making people rather sick.
One major example of that would be Electric Zoo a couple of years back which actually had to cancel its last day due to the 'health issues' that were arising during the festival. Some of those 'health risks' included the death of two individuals in their early twenties from corrupted drugs. The EDM area definitely needs to start steering away from the WoodStock days and more towards the classic ones, you know where people do not get hospitalized for trying to have a good time.
