There is dance music that is original and tasteful you know? The article instead shows quite well how the mainstream edm scene is mindlessly homologous and that for this scene in particular the hype of big dj's is meaningless. In other dance music scenes DJ's are revered for combining their large collections of music, knowledge of track selection, and understanding a crowd to create an individual experience each time. Sure if you have brainwashed yourself to enjoy the tired formulaic mainstream edm drivel you'd love a cliché mainstream edm DJ, however for people who love dance music it can be insufferable.

I was expecting lovers of dance music to... love dance music. Not dictate what's right and what's wrong while passively agressively suggesting that mainstream listeners are ignorant.
I've seen this attitude many times from smaller groups which see themselves above the masses. They need a justification for the fact that their tastes are not popular and that becomes often "the masses are stupid, only we understand the true nature of whatever".
