IT'S NOT AS BAD AS YOU THINK!!!

It is true there have been a series of deaths by drugs at raves but, that is only a few people who don't understand that what they're doing is wrong. House music began in a warehouse in Chicago by a group of people who shared the love of the same music. Electronic music bonded the people in Chicago and as it grew larger it turned into a music epidemic. Now the population of electric music lovers have grown to all over the world. The media makes it seem like all people who attend raves take part in drug use and unsafe behavior. That is definitely not true and they just want to try to stop raves as a whole. If you think about it taking that away from the people who love EDM is like taking away a part of history. Not only is that wrong but, it is like mocking and making wrong of of peoples love and culture. Taking away raves and badmouthing it about drugs is like taking away the attenders unity and love for the culture of electronic music.

For the Love of Music

To many people this might seem like a huge headache and inappropriate concert or lifestyle of people who listen to EDM enjoy. On the contrary it is not as bad as people make it to seem. Yes, it is true that many people to do drugs like Ecstasy, but the majority of people in attendance just love going for the music. The crowd might seem crazy but every single person there is there for the same reason and that's the love of the music. Everyone is sharing a bond of having that experience and enjoying it with new people and making new friends. This is not a picture of chaos like it is portrayed on the media but, instead love, music, and an incredible night. 

Farewell to SHM

Swedish House mafia came to be known ans one of the most infamous groups in the electronic music genre. The trio of Sebastian Ingrosso, Steve Angello, and Axwell are one of the main reasons why Electric Dance Music blew up since about 2009. These three revolutionaries of electronic music are the best performers out there. All together with their blend of progressive house sounds with songwriting and the stage presence of a rock band makes their live performence so entertaining and worth seeing. These three men have had grammy nominations for songs like Greyhound which they had for an Absolut Vodka commercial and have sold out venues like Madison Square Garden, Los Angeles State Historic Park and so much more. There kick off of there last shows as a dynamic trio began on Friday March 8th in Los Angeles in which i attended. That show consisted of Thirty five thousand in attendance and music from other innovators of house. For example, performences by Otto Knows, Nero, and Alesso pumped up the crowd before Swedish House Mafia came on to blaze the stage. Swedish House Mafias two hour set to sum up their career as a group showed why they were such a big influence, and helped creat the structure for pop- Electronic Dance Music. Dance music is supposed to be immediate yet transient, sounds are felt viscerally, but lapse quickly as the party moves on. Swedish House Mafia has a talent for keeping the power of EDM’s sonics while writing songs that stick like power ballads. When the snow machines blew lazer-lit flurries for the chorus of “Don’t You Worry Child,” one of their latest hit singles, the cyclical, seasonal nature of dance music became literal. Swedish House Mafia seemed to be saying, in its way, that not-so-young-anymore EDM fans are going to be fine without them.

Electro hypothesis

I discovered that this topic would be perfect for me because I am a huge fan of electronic music.  It was a big part of my life growing up and it still it. Since I am a musician who can play Drums, violin, and I am a DJ this topic seemed like a topic I would enjoy writing about. I also think that electronic music is very underestimated and misunderstood to people who aren't huge fans. I want to talk about the music, the life, and history/evolution of electronic music.
