Zedd

EDM.  The usual synthesizers, bass, and drum machines, crescendo-ing into a frenzy and then thumping on.  You've likely heard one of his songs, I know I've heard Clarity repeatedly on the crappy radio station my kids like:

74 million views!  And the dude looks like he's 11.  He's Doogie Techno!  He shows up in the video around 1:25, looking like an angry pre-teen in a hoodie.  To get a feel for the EDM bass drop, go to about 3:08 in this video for the build up and then drop.

German dude, and is apparently actually 24 years old.  Born in 1989.  When I was in junior high.  Dammit.  But at least when I think of his name, I think of Bruce Willis saying Zedd's dead, and it makes me smile.  So, I've got that going for me, which is nice.  Stay the Night is his second most popular:

You know, its fine.  Not bad music, but it doesn't create a visceral response in me like other electronic music.  It feels like sitting through a music appreciation class on violin concertos.  I know it is likely very well-done and wonderful music, but its just not getting to me.  I will be very pleased when this genre runs its course and the top of the ACL bill goes back to being overpaid and tired stars from 15 years ago.
