The Electric Daisy Riot

At yesterday’s premiere of a documentary about the Electric Daisy Carnival, an electronic and dance music fest, a riot broke out as thousands of people showed up for the accompanying block party in Los Angeles. Police shut down a large swath of Hollywood Boulevard, a squad car was burned and beanbag guns were used on the unruly mob. The streets ran neon red with cracked glow sticks. Oh, and there was planking. posted on July 28, 2011 at 10:43am EDT

      It is amazing to me that when I was a teen, which was in the 80s, no other teen I knew at the time would have considered this type of behavior “Cool” or “Fun”. Today’s kids appear to be wholly over entitled and over privileged.
