IS RAVE CULTURE WORSE NOW THAN IT WAS IN 2016?! | I'M PEAKING EP. 85
from I'M PEAKING · host I'm Peaking Podcast
In episode 85 of the I'M PEAKING Podcast, we’re diving deep into the culture, chaos, and evolution of EDM. From 2016 throwbacks to today’s festival madness, this episode covers everything, free shows gone wrong, festival safety, rising ticket prices, and whether PLUR is making a comeback. We kick things off by looking back at the 2016 EDM era (yes, Skrillex included 👀) and compare it to where the scene is heading in 2026. Then things get spicy, John Summit’s free show chaos, fans showing up in massive numbers, and the internet roasting DJs for not playing that one song. We also talk real issues: event planning failures, crowd safety, canceled EDC tickets, layaway plans, and the insane demand for festivals worldwide. If you’re into festival culture, EDM history, or just love a good industry breakdown this one’s for you.
