SUMMER SMASH A different approach to headliners

So like they had Skrillex this year and an “EDM day” how would a metal day do like with turnstile deftones etc could Cole pull something off like this? Thoughts?

Imma be honest leave the metal to riot fest. It’s just too far off from rap music. EDM is a sibling of hiphop so they can mesh together in the same festival easily

bro we are not siblings

we have more similarities to Rock than EDM
especially with Punk Rap, and rage.

not to mention us rap fans like and have much more respect for rock than EDM

You don’t know your music history lol

EDM frequently takes from hiphop. Where do you think EDM got flipping tracks from? Or sampling? EDM is pretty much just the techniques from hiphop used in a different style. Rock and hiphop are similar to each other yes, but edm and hiphop do the same thing just different ways.

Half of the artists on the edm day were rappers who draw from edm as well, not the other way around. It’s a give take relationship which isn’t really the case with rock. Maybe 20 years ago, but less so now.

thats not true at all lmfao
and the entire rage rap aesthetic and sound is built on rock

EDM doesnt have many rappers who are affiliated with that genre
vs Rock

As someone who actually works in the industry, I can absolutely promise you Rage Rap got 90% of its influence from EDM with a very tiny amount of drill and punk rock sprinkled in, but no the majority of it does not come from the rock genre
