EDC Throwback
A resurfaced thread on Reddit’s EDC community is bringing festival nostalgia — and a few laughs — by asking who was at Electric Daisy Carnival 2017 when DJ Khaled reportedly got booed offstage. The post sparked a wave of recollections, short clips, and the usual festival-grade meme energy.
Many users in the thread framed the moment as a classic crowd-versus-artist mismatch: an audience primed for trance, house and big-room drops reacting poorly to a celebrity hip-hop cameo. Others treated it as a legendary festival anecdote — the kind of chaotic moment that gets replayed at meetups and afterparties for years.
- Why it stuck: genre mismatch and high expectations for an EDC headliner set the scene.
- Meme fuel: clips and jokes kept the story alive online long after the festival ended.
- Festival culture: it’s a reminder that crowds can turn an appearance into folklore overnight.
Whether you saw it live, caught a clip later, or weren’t there at all, the thread is a tidy example of how single moments at festivals take on oversized lives in online communities. EDC has always served up memorable highs and chaotic curveballs — and this one still gets a laugh from the crowd.
