lyrics

"now EDM's fading that was the big clarion cutting edge thing 10 years ago as you noticed at Coachella that used to be heavily dominated by EDM you know Cascade, Tiesto, all those guys would go out there and I bet there wasn't an EDM tent there this year or oh there was one okay well it would be indie bands it would be classic rock headliner it would be up and coming indie alt rock and then tons of EMD DJs and now it's all hip-hop and R&B and Eminem's here and oh, Beyonce, you know what Coachella used to be it was all about the cutting edge alternative lifestyle indie rock grunge you know and it's just not even that it's just a big money grab which is what happens to everything in art you start with the pure form of art and then it mutates and gets to the masses and you know it's just a commodity and once the artist dies is when they become really famous and everyone just makes money off their corpse like Kurt Cobain the best formula for success is to be dead it's just an upside down world now and everybody's struggling with it here hip-hop's the number one format now but I can see how that's mutating and these up and coming guys think they're going to be the next Drake by the time they get their turn in line that's gonna be done you don't even know what's going to be next you know things are changing so quickly they thought EDM was the future and now EDM's going to be fading you know it's going to be like emo core hip-hop or something and everything's so fragmented now social media's fragmented everything you don't have a community anymore you don't have real living breathing fans who will go to every single show and buy all your albums and the t-shirt and now it's like hits, social media and on to the next flavor of the month so I just got off that train I'm too old for that I just ran out of options I wish I could've stayed the 80s and 90s were awesome the 2000s even were pretty cool but it's just an empty shell of what it used to be" - Los Angeles cab driver who used to work in radio, April 2018
