Some remarks of a possible resurgence, or at least popularity peak edit

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

In the past year or so I have been noticing a steady upwards trend for this genre, in particular in its more 'poppy' form, as multiple songs that are at least inspired by it seem to be more and more popular and many have achieved what one could call mainstream popularity. At the same time, it does appear that djs are more likely to play sets that include this genre, particularly in the US, as more and more people seem to be interested in 'UK rave' music in general. I do not know if this is worth some mention in the 'History' subsection, considering what I have been writing about really might be anecdotal evidence, but there are multiple articles online talking about this phenomenon, and one can at least see from play and view counts that some tracks that are somewhat related to dnb have in fact become quite popular. Since I don't really know how to proceed, nor really how these kinds of editing processes work here, I would like to know your opinion on the matter, but at least it looks weird to me that the history described in the article really stops at the 'EDM' era so to speak, which is a looong time ago...
