Although it can be argued that Zedd and Classixx stand on two opposite ends of the dance music production world, someone somewhere decided to bring these worlds together by offering Classixx as opening support for Zedd’s national tour.
However, can these worlds really collide successfully without upsetting Clarity fans? After performing a few shows with Zedd, Classixx favorited and retweeted the positive feedback they received.
Yet not all were pleased with the duo’s performance. There were tweets signifying that the group was disrespectfully booed offstage and claiming that they ‘suck’.
Some fans were very, very confused as to what they were actually listening to when Classixx was playing.
And some took it so far as begging, or perhaps warning them never to come back to their city again.
There doesn’t seem to be any commentary from Zedd himself on the matter, but his music attracts a wide array of fans, from those who respect all different forms of dance music, to teenie-boppers who still have Clarity lyrics as their Facebook statuses. Therefore I think it’s safe to pin this disdain towards Classixx on Zedd “fans” who sit on the one side of the spectrum.

so harsh
That’s pretty dumb.
Say the pre teens with fake id’s that were saying Disclosure sucked, no assholes your taste in music sucks
Disrespectful.. I’d never boo an act regardless of whether or not I like them.
damn…
So PLUR. . .
So much for PLUR
Yes this is absolutely horrible. Even if u absolutely hate the music, have respect for that person pouring their soul out for you…
The people who booed Clasixx off the stage, are probably the same people whose favorite dj is “Dupstep”.
What the fuck. Classixx is chillwave disco. Saw them at Toro Y Moi and they were killing it. Definitely one of my favorite artists of this year.
Don’t get why people don’t love indie dance. Shit’s great.

They went from khan to dannic to classixx… No one deserves to be booed I agree but the line up could have been more thought out. What do you expect from a bunch of drunk bros..
Really stupid decision. They are both really good artists but they make completely different music. It would be like having a country band supporting a punk rock band

Classixx’s productions are brilliant! I seriously question people’s taste in music.
Former EDM Fans finally understands dance music after attending Movement Festival In Detroit, fictional article once again but puts things in perspective with where the gap falls: http://www.wunderground.ie/former-edm-fan-finally-understands-dance-music-after-attending-movement-detroit/
Tho fictional article this is the problem with people who just don’t get it. http://www.wunderground.ie/young-hardwell-fan-disappointed-not-to-know-any-djs-on-the-resident-advisor-top-100-poll/
So tired of negativity in EDM. Kids need to shut up. Everyone’s a critic, no ones an artist. Diversity is why makes EDM great. Mainstream does not 100% represent our world. Zedd and everyone else was “underground” once and wasn’t always in the spotlight. If we’re not open to new acts EDM will all sound the same and die off. Very disappointed. Not PLUR..
Classixx is actually really good, I’ve never heard of him before today but I’m currently listening to him. He is great, officialy a fan!!!
this is disgusting, most of the people probably wouldn’t know it was zedd on stage until he dropped clarity. and all these “hardcore” zedd fans, I guess they have never listened to any zedds dead’s shit? he doesn’t just do vocalist housey songs. These are the type of people ruining the scene. they want to hear what they want to hear 24/7 and anything other than the top 20 EDM playlist is garbage in their eyes. If you could all keep it to local venues and avoid attending big festivals that would be great because this kind of attitude will completely “kill my vibe”. im sure all you top 20’ers caught that reference 🙂
Kyle remaily zeds dead is a group nothing to do with zedd know your facts before you post buddy 🙂
These kids will rock out to Get Lucky for a year, but won’t listen to any other groovy electronic disco?? ….Classixx should have just put helmets on
Classixx > Zedd
Jeez haven’t you guys heard? It’s just normal protocol to boo an artist off stage if they are electro/progressive/big room house….. Mainstream EDM is the worst…
To be fair, most of these people are borderline retarded for being at a Zedd show in the first place.
