8/7/2023 0 Comments Deadmau5 unplugged meaning![]() ![]() Rumors have real and damaging effects on individuals, careers, religions, political officials, and on society as a whole. Every time Yasmine and I are slammed in the media, we debate whether or not it’s worth it to react and share our side of the story. Not only because it’s another dose of gossip contributing to the pollution on the internet, but because it’s fundamentally based on lie… a “news story” based on the words of someone whose internet reputation thrives off of using slanderous dialogue to entertain his 3 MILLION Twitter worshippers. Deadmau5’s success skyrocketed when his ratings surpassed TMZ’s after reporting the hard facts of the Krewella break-up several months ago, and since then he has proven himself to be a credible news source for all things Krewella!Īll sarcasm aside, I’m rolling my eyes at how much noise the Krewella “fake DJing” story created in the EDM blogosphere last weekend. For those of you who are out of the loop with global events, Deadmau5 is the most trusted name on Twitter. ![]() Salaam-Alaikum Krew, it’s Jahan again! Did anyone catch the headlines last weekend? I’m talking about the very important breaking news that Krewella’s Ultra 2015 set was UNPLUGGED!!! Minutes after Almighty Deadmau5 tweets “Aw man, Krewellas got them new completely wireless DJMs? I’m jealous,” EDM reporters spread the news like wildfire and the story gets massive traction in the dance community, while Deadmau5 receives praise from critics for his honest and brave reporting from the frontlines. Read her response below, and visit her Tumblr to see all the visual aids and reblog it. Krewella’s fans are loyal, almost to a fault, and their haters are the same way – unable to change and incapable of shifting their views in the face of evidence. Jahan wrote today on her Tumblr a response to the wild accusations, but honestly I doubt it will do any good. The fact that two young women have galvanized and polarized this industry and community so completely is honestly a testament to their success. You’re so set in your beliefs that when you see something slightly unusual or out of place, you chomp at the bit to say “I told you so!” ![]() It’s really just this mentality of forced confirmation bias that makes me so damn sick and ashamed of our community. ![]() That doesn’t really matter though, and I’ll repeat what I wrote in a Facebook post the other day: Many people quickly rose to the surface to refute the #UNPLUGGEDgate claims, referencing an HID mode in the CDJs that allows them to be used as MIDI controllers via Serato on a laptop. It seems that independent thought and rationality are nonexistent these days. Whether it started with deadmau5 is pretty irrelevant, his 3.13 million Twitter followers latched on to the notion and ran with it. Rumors quickly started to spread, as they do, and soon enough EDM’s resident troll and #krewhater was on the case. Fans saw the live video of their DJ set-up which supposed that the girls were playing a set without their equipment plugged in. If you were watching the Ultra live stream, even if you weren’t, you were likely privy to the absurd accusations surrounding Krewella’s first live band performance. Hell, the last time it came up I actually wrote an editorial about it. I’ve lost track of the amount of times I’ve written an article covering Krewella gossip, news, and hate. ![]()
