Is the fad finally over? Are Becky and Chad still getting their groove on to EDM in Vegas or is there already the next monstrosity happening?

I now see these promoters using youtube's live function to stream quality video from these events. Thousands upon thousand doing their thing. I can't hate. You wanna make some serious money DJing? Be a successful EDM DJ and travel the world.
just remember that this has been said about literally every generation's pop music since rock n roll
Also, for whatever reason that Forbes link did not work on either a PC or Mac for me. Probably for the best!
Isnt that what Played Out means?
