Mersiv Sparks EDM Twitter Drama By Calling Out Artists Who Use “Dark and Evil” Branding

Mersiv sparked quite the drama in the EDM twitter-verse yesterday by taking a shot at producers and artists who push their music by “branding off of satanic symbolism and dark evil shit.” The tweet led to countless DJs adding their two cents and criticizing the Denver producer for ‘gatekeeping’ and being closed-minded. SVDDEN Death, Subtronics, Dubloadz, and many other artists chimed in as you’ll see below. Check out the responses and let us know your thoughts in the comments section.

cowards are scared of expression.
do whatever you want and don’t listen to woke gatekeepers. music and art is about conveying every emotion, not just the ones that make you comfortable. (also I’m sick of the implication that dark = satanic = bad) https://t.co/tsjklv6lTy

shouldn’t we let artists just do what ever they wanna do with their art? we make art to reflect ourselves, ya can’t get mad that so many people identify with that idea of rebellion 🤷🏻‍♂️

Forreal. Let art be art, however anyone chooses to express it. No matter the form of expression, music is still positive and meant to create a community
