Reddit is a great place for sharing ideas, original content, and even new music. Anyone looking for a place to learn the ins-and-outs of our scene can usually browse through the EDM subreddit and get a pretty good grasp on what’s good, what’s bad, and everything in between. That being so, one stalwart rave veteran took it upon himself to provide us with a comprehensive (and ridiculously hilarious) list of helpful tips for newcomers to dance music.
Check it out below, consider yourself educated, and never forget: Everyone is a sellout and Martin Garrix’ music is implicitly evil.

- 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
- tiesto is a sellout
- david guetta is a sellout
- hardwell is a sellout
- eric prydz is a sell out
- pryda is a sell out
- you didn’t know they were the same person? (scoffs) okay…
- afrojack is a sell out
- hardwell is a sellout
- nicky romero is a sellout
- avicci is a sellout
- martin garrix is literally hitler
- 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, you skanky slut
- 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
- i wish martin garrix was dead
- 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
