Win Bulter isn't the only celebrity in the news today who isn't a fan of EDM. World renowned foodie and music fan Anthony Bourdain addresses the EDM culture in the most recent episode of his CNN show Parts Unknown.
During a trip to Las Vegas, Bordain spoke with magician Penn Jillett of Penn and Teller fame about the city's shift from elaborate stage shows to DJs, glow sticks, bottle service and dancing. Neither of the men are fans of this new culture.
"Where once they used to say, 'Cocaine is God's way of saying you have too much money' - now, maybe EDM is...Come ye lords and princelings of douchedom," Bourdain rants. "Hear my clarion call. Anointeth thyself with gel and heavenly body spray...Let there be high-fiving and hugging of many bros."
Both men have attempted to try to understand the EDM explosion in Las Vegas but aren't sure why they can't manage to embrace it. "We get invited to all the openings of the new clubs," Jillett explained. "But I simply don't understand it. And I'm embarrassed that I don't understand it."
"Are we just old?" Bourdain suggested. "Or are we non-douchey?"
In an attempt to get broaden their knowledge on the subject, they hit up Marquee whose resident DJ Jason Lima was playing that night. However, they left with the conclusion that people with "new money" would rather spend money on a big-name EDM act than at the casino. Vegas, to them, has become a place "where everybody for the right price and with enough sparkles and the right mix can be a winner."
