The Chainsmokers are everyone's favorite artists to hate. This is mostly because of their massive success of the past two years. Their music and in turn, their brand have become absolutely inescapable. As with most electronic music artists who found main stream success, they have become scrutinized under a magnifying glass.
This was evident with how social media reacted to their questionable comments about Chinese culture eating dogs. This does occur in one province at a certain time of year, but many felt there comment was furthering a damaging stereotype of Asian persons all around the globe.
This weekend The Chainsmokers became the subject of debate once again in the dance music world when they tweeted out a rather out there message.
The guys claimed it was a bit extra, but has a good, real message at it's heart.

Well that definitely drive a point home. I am not sure what the point of all of that outside of just making sure you YOLO hard AF. A lot of people had some hilarious replies to the tweet. Specifically since half way through there is like a solid couple sentences low key soliciting nudes. Well The Chainsmokers continue to live their life to the fullest and embody the below message. If you think this is dumb, I guess you need to ask yourself if this hits a little to close to home. Read the full rant below.
Wanna know the fucking truth? Nobody is fucking happy. Nobody has skin made from oil paint and sunlight. Nobody fucking understands this world. Fuck, nobody probably understands math a much as they claim. You’re here one day and the next you’re not. God? Religion? I’ve learned a lot more about the world by eating acid and swallowing pills. Tell me what your church has done for you? Tell me if you have holes in your mouth from speaking lies?
Wanna know the fucking truth? Pity is just another word for pathetic. Drink beer and watch the sunrise from every rooftop. Take photographs naked. Take photographs kissing. Take photographs having sex. Stop making everything about sexuality. Wanna know the fucking truth? Nobody really gives a damn if you lost your virginity at fourteen or if you were the president in high school. Wanna know the fucking truth? There is no such thing as the right person. People leave. They change like ocean currents, they leave you with bruises in your calves. And you wanna know the fucking truth? You get better. You learn to love. You find god in between the cracks of wall when you’re puking your limbs out. You wanna know the fucking truth? Go find it.
