HIPSTER RUNOFF

What if I told u that some filmmakers debuted a documentary abt the Electric Daisy Carnival, and that the spirit of rave-wave vibes were so strong, that a MASSIVE RIOT started in the streets of Hollywood at the film's premiere? I don't know what it is abt EDC... They got tons of negative press after ppl died at their annual festivals, then they got ran out of town and forced to go to Vegas. But now some1 made a documentary abt the festival, then some electro house DJ was like "IM HAVING A FREE SHOW" [via twitter]. Tons of Los Angeles area electro tweens + aggressive bros came out, and they cops were like 'THERE'S 2MANYPPL [via 2manyDJs]!" and no1 wanted to leave bc every1 probably thought they were VIP, then when they found out that they weren't VIP, they started 2 riot.

A DJ set by Kaskade at the premiere of the Electric Daisy Carnival documentary, "Electric Daisy Carnival Experience," was shut down by police Wednesday evening in front of Grauman's Chinese Theatre when masses of fans spilled into Hollywood after Kaskade announced a live performance via Twitter. As the police attempted to disperse what turned into a huge gathering, crowds reportedly turned on the police and started throwing objects at them.

Soo many electro tweens. Maybe I should move 2 LA and become an alt DJ and become a 'God' bc I have 100k followers on twitter.

I heard all of those electro bros actually thought they were at a rave, so they went 'wild'n out' on the streets of LA.

Police said they were responding in force to several hundred people throwing bottles and other objects outside the premiere of the film version of a rave at Grauman's Chinese Theatre.

Several people jumped onto a squad car, but police said they could not confirm reports of a squad car on fire.

Poor dubstep bro. Seems like he just brought a CD binder and wants 2 vibe to some DJs.

Check out this bro... All he wants 2 do is rave. But the electro-h8ing 'pigs' are hauling him away.

Apparently some house DJ totally ruined this 4 every1.... Some bro named 'Kaskade'. In case u were wondering, he DOES have a soul patch.

Kaskade had tricked out a flatbed truck with his equipment -- and had planned to roll up, play two songs and head into the premiere, Los Angeles fire officials said. The event was permitted by the Los Angeles Fire Department, which planned a 30-minute lane closure of Hollywood Boulevard "with amplified music on the back of a flatbed truck," according to the permit.

About 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, Kaskade tweeted to his 92,000 Twitter followers that he was heading to Grauman's Chinese Theatre for a block party: "ME+BIG SPEAKERS+MUSIC=BLOCK PARTY!!!"

But as people began showing up, Duddie said it became clear that "a crisis was headed our way."

I might buy a 'flatbed truck' tricked out with DJ equipment, just to pick up 15 year old chicks at my local AMC movie theatres.

Anyways, the cops brought out some riot gear, and regulated on all of these ravers.

Whose side r u on?
#TeamRaveElectro or #TeamCityOfLosAngeles?
Do ravers need 2 behave?
Is 'electro' being glorified as 'the modern version of the punk movement', or are unregulated electro-fests actually a legitimate health and safety hazard that needs 2 be stopped?
Is it time 2 finally end the ELECTRIC DAISY CARNIVAL brand?

This may or may not be a metaphor for electro music's fight 4 acceptance in California.
