The almighty opinion, it is defined as a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge. We have ups and downs, rushes and slows, fades and excitements—the music embodies this—love, heartbreak, brokenness, happiness, and a whole mess of other emotions. Great cocktails can be hard to find, so we did the work for you.
We have all seen these types of conversations, someone makes a post about a controversial artist they are really vibing with and boom, the firestorm begins. Suddenly, everyone jumps in and a bully session takes flight. I have even seen some conversations go as far as the original poster receiving heated private messages about how stupid they are and how pathetic their taste in music is.
This lack of knowledge has created a new norm. A norm in which social media has become a battleground for pushing popular opinions on others and making people feel terrible about their own views and interests. So, how do we as individuals in a growing EDM community come together and get back to the basics? I pose this challenge: When you come across a post in which you may take a different view-point on, think before you respond.
It is absolutely necessary that we continue to have personal opinions and it is alright and healthy to voice your view on a topic and I encourage it. BUT , we need to do so in a way that is respectful and positive. Step back for a moment and let the PLUR manifesto run through your mind and then choose words that are not harmful or insulting.
Maybe even begin a positive conversation about favorite artists and why you love them so much. Sometimes people simply hate an artist or genre based on popular opinion without knowing anything about it or them, many times without even listening to their music. That type of attitude is toxic.
The herd mentality is stronger than many even realize sometimes, and bucking the trend is difficult too. Keeping that in mind though, you may even end up changing your own opinion after actually listening to the reasons why someone follows a certain artist or genre.
Move on to the next post and leave that post for others who are excited about the same topic. Additionally, if you see a thread that has turned into a bully session, jump in and add something positive! Stick up for the original poster and turn the tides on the discussion. Break the negative herd mentality with PLUR!

This music fits my every mood. Calms me, energizes me, gives me shivers. If I go back through my favorite memories, many of them surround concerts, shows, and festivals. I remember squad photos in front of Kinetic Field and kisses shared by the main stage at Spring Awakening. I remember love, laughter, and dancing. And those memories will always be close to my heart. This music relates people.

It brings us together in celebration and in dancing circles. It connects us through sharing of Kandi bracelets and water and photos and hugs. No other type of music does that—shows people how beautiful life is, and how we should truly love one another.
EDM will always been remembered. It is the genre that startled everyone, that is strange and new and interesting.
It is the shows with lights and paint, the festivals with rides and giant, bright daisies. It is multiple stages and fireworks and sounds that can be heard for miles.
Peace, Love, Unity, Respect. It is music that brings people together from all ages, walks of life, and corners of the world.
