The recently posted petition to ban electronic music for the argument that it is "killing our youth" is an example of fear and ignorance in their most crippling axis. The drug related deaths that recently took place at the "New York Electric Zoo" festival are not isolated to music festivals and are not indicative of a problem in our youth's affection for the arts, but in our youth's affection for escape from a degrading country. It would be impossible to completely ban electronic music, since almost every song produced in our current era goes through some digital form and is likely edited on non-analog machines. Teach youth self love, self respect, respect of others and the skills to feel empowered. Don't take away our tool of expression. It's one of the few things we have left.
