Back in the day you could just be a dude who bought a shirt from Express and play on the global stage. You'd look out and see smiling people without cell phones who still look healthy.

This is what it sounded like to fall in love with EDM 15 years ago. On July 23, 2011 Avicii released “levels” on the main stage of TomorrowLand

Why record a concert? Barely anyone watches the footage back, and a sea of phone screens ruins the atmosphere for everyone else. Have we really forgotten how to just take things in with our own eyes and ears?

I remember going to concerts years ago, before cell phones, and they would check your bag to make sure you didn’t have cameras.

I went to hundreds of EDM shows during that era. So much fun, miss it sometimes.

I went to some of those festivals in the 00s and everyone were saying how bad they had gotten and how much better it was in eg Roskilde in the 90s. Midnight in Paris effect

15 years ago wasn’t back in the day. And the music was house not edm.

Could you please not use 'back in the day' to describe five minutes ago?

i think instagram launched around this time but there weren't stories and people weren't posting every waking moment of their lives online. it was truly the equilibrium of social media and living in the moment. definitely lost some brain cells in this era.
