MAGNETIC RECOMMENDS: How To Tell If You're A Basic Bitch

So if you're just getting into EDM, here are some important tips from a vet.

• raves used to be better

• like, you don't even know

• big room house is terrible

• no, that's progressive house

• no, that's progressive trance

• no, that's electro-house-dark-psy-trance-moobahtron-trap with raggacore cybergrind elements, you fucking idiot

• your misappropriating that impossibly specific sub genre is physically offensive to me on a cellular level

• tiësto is a sellout

• david guetta is a sellout

• hardwell is a sellout

• afrojack is a sell out

• hardwell is a sellout

• nicky romero is a sellout

• avicci is a sellout

• armin van buuren is okay

• no, on second thought, fuck that. armin is a sellout

• you're probably a sell out too

• everyone is a sellout

• except deadmau5, who is king of king and I can laugh at all of it because I get all of his inside jokes

• it's okay for us to dress like this, but look at you

• it's better to go to a festival and bitch the whole time about how everyone has ruined it rather than try to find your own space to enjoy yourself

• trance is dead

• PLUR is dead

• god is dead too

• selfies are literally the worst thing you can do

• in fact, everyone taking pictures is awful. why can't you just enjoy the music the way I enjoy the music?

• EXCEPTION TO THE RULE: it's not only okay, but somehow encouraged for 90% of the girls to take 17 of the exact same posed and filtered picture and post it to Instagram with a needlessly detailed caption and 23 hashtags begging for people to follow her account

• Seriously, all of you taking pictures and being happy makes me so goddamned mad.

• I don't need drugs to enjoy the music, so i'm better than you

• Even though i'm probably on drugs too

• Like enough to put a rhino in a coma

• if you haven't been doing this for longer than i have, you just don't get it and you're everything that's wrong with the scene

• glovers are literally hitler

• can you imagine if fucking martin garrix gloved?

• god damn it

• old people hate young people

• Nobody actually believes this shit
