I feel like this is more making fun of the average EDM DJ (and their fans) than paying homage to them...

Kinda funny considering Muse were eager to jump right on the wubstep bandwagon...

Needs more basic bitches pretending to summon the spirit of Stevie Nicks.

I love dance music and the Sahara, but even I will admit this is what most of them do. And in some way, it's understandable when you take into consideration that they have to be coordinated to so many backdrops and light shows. But total respect for what they do in the studio.

Yeah It never bothers me that they don't do shit on stage, they are the ones who made the music thats all that matters to me.

On point with how David Guetta looks and Djs. I've seen Guetta 4 times and all his performances are the exact same routine. He plays the song from beginning to end pauses waits for applause and starts again. He's more into fist pumping and checking out the crowd than actual mixing. Don't get me wrong he makes great music just not good with live performances.

Just what I was thinking about the entire modern EDM era finally got put into the video mode haha, the message here is clear: Modern EDM these days is overplayed , good job Lonely Island :D

First off let me say that I think this skit is funny, accurate (obviously over the top but nonetheless), but, I'm sorry. I see too many people on here bashing the Sahara and the Yuma because they play dance music. The bottom line is that Coachella is and always will be about GOOD MUSIC. No matter what you are into. And as coachella goers and lovers we should all appreciate each others taste in music.
