NOTE: Never thought we’d have to mention this but ‘Ban EDM Now’ is obviously a parody page. We even mention it in the article but some of you are just too lazy to actually read it. So there, now you know.
As with everything in life, you must reap what you sow. After the unimaginable happened and it’s subsequent bad press, it is now time to pull the plug on EDM. A Facebook page is demanding the end of EDM and it is reflecting the angry sentiments felt by many towards the state of the scene. Each ‘like’ means it gathering momentum. Each ‘like’ means it’s increasing its influence, both of which has been used for putting pressure on Congress.
No-one is safe from scrutiny, with Skrillex himself accused of evil wrongdoings:
However, it is hard to take a Facebook page seriously when it constantly cites Jessica Beedle from M.A.M (Mothers Against Molly).
Yes reader, one look at this Facebook page and you should tell that it’s nothing more than edgy satire . But yet it’s quite brilliant. The profile pic, the outrageous quotes, the evidence of what EDM did to Miley Cyrus… After the bad press the scene has received recently it’s refreshing to read some absolutely ridiculous articles that poke fun on the seriousness of it all.
For example:
“NO WILL O.D.” Wow.
In the meantime, you should really check out the page and just look at how some people are getting themselves all worked up. You should also help with their petition to Congress (Only 99,998 signatures to go!) Satire or not… It’s pretty damn funny.
these pages really make me laugh.
and that petition is funny too.
They should try to ban Heavy Metal too while they’re at it lol.
Sad
Blame the drugies, rapists, and murderers don’t blame the music.
ban all music and no one will get drunk!
Its fucking kids like this that ruin it for every one! Fucking sad!
Funny. They have 666 likes.
That doesn’t even make sense… It wasn’t their faults, and Skrillex was talking about how much of a good time he had. The people who did it are to blame. It happens, EDM isn’t going away anytime soon.
Lets fuckin ban life
This is very narrow minded. Taking drugs is a choice. It’s YOUR choice. The DJ’s and event organizers do not condone or sell them. Back in the day people used to get super drugged up at rock gigs such as KISS and Ozzy concerts, and people were saying “Ban Rock music”. This pattern will repeat itself until the world can get rid of the real problem – drugs.
People just need to stop being fucking stupid and not take drugs. Period. “EDM is more enjoyable when you take ecstasy.” Just… no.
skrillex made that comment way before anyone died. and he played the on friday not saturday…..
They are so right, Name one time when prohibition didn’t work? ha ha
These events shouldn’t be all ages, at least 18 and over that way if shit hits the fan only they can be held responsible for their actions..with that being said EDM isn’t going anywhere and if it is banned it’ll just return to how raves were back in the day…underground.
So dogs kill more people in the US than O.D in the world… I think we should go china/columbia on canine species while we are at it
reminds me of the “disco sucks” campaign decades ago!
This is a fucking joke, mothers against Molly are all troll who tweak up on Prozac everynight just to deal with there shitty lives, and are jealous because there kids are having an amazing time raging,
You wait…next is the South Park episode!
You wait…next is the South Park episode!
I think we should ban stupid people from using social media and/or internet itself -.-

Beyond funny and ridiculous. it’s the same is to ban breathing! I’m Russian and I will never stop loving house and trance, this “ban” shiit is worse than Soviet Union times, Jesus!
shouldn’t they ban the drugs instead? lol
I have been a raver and in the rave scene for over a year and have never been high at an event or on molly just because you go somewhere doesn’t mean you have to do something Brillz doesn’t do drugs and Steve Aoki doesn’t smoke doesn’t drink and doesn’t do drugs therefore M.A.M’s point is invalid I am also an aspiring DJ wanting to persue the business I have seen Krewella, Diplo, Paris Blohm, Excision, Paper Diamond, Vaski, Excision, S3rl, Angerfist, Carnage, I’m going to see Zedd, Zeds Dead, Jack U aka Diplo+Skrillex, and Major Lazor in the next 3 weeks I even met Zomboy…banning EDM which lets be honest will never happen because it is such a close family and such a strong force that it cant be stopped that people will still do drugs no matter what people will always pop molly just like people will always smoke weed and people will always use methamphetamine PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS LOVE AND HATE MOLLY… WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD.
you can die from drinking 5 gallons of water in 20 minutes too lets bann fackin water too while we are at it…smh stupid people.
EDM is the 21st century’s music… And No One Can Stop it From Being Banned..
The original page only has a few likes.
saying as if no other type of music makes reference to drugs ever. look around you its not just edm. Jessica Beedle if your boy or girl is going to do drugs they are going to do them with or without edm, how don’t you see that.
its sad that ignorant parents would be wasting their time on a campaign for censorship of music rather than campaigning for better drug education for their children. drugs exist. people take them. the best you can do is be educated about it.
lol, a bunch of my friends who rave have liked the page, MOMENTUM? People are liking it because its a joke. LMAO! Shits hilarious, EDM will never be stopped, you have to stop every company that creates music production equipment and software, I was making EDM before I ever knew what a rave was, people are stupid lol.
Popped a molly I’m sweatin.
Its funny that they put drug addict over daft punk, as they said they tried it once and hated it..
If we are going to start banning music, I say ban Country Music…..

Lol that’s fuckin halarious
Just eat lots of L.S.D! 🙂
Then they better also start Mothers Against Prescription Drugs since prescription drugs now kill more people in the US than heroin and cocaine combined. That’s right, COMBINED. They kill more people than car accidents. They kill more people than homicidal shootings. I could keep going but I think you get the point. How many of these mothers are on prescription drugs?
Can’t we just categorize it as a troll page like being liberal
One question for Brendan and Elliot: How do you two know for sure that the page is satirical?
fuck old people.
