The rise of Hakkasan seems symbolic of the moment when dance music finally becomes truly mainstream entertainment in America, when EDM severs whatever last, vague ties it may have had to the druggy, authority-baiting, subcultural US rave scene of the 90s with its hippyish credo of PLUR: Peace Love Unity and Respect.

EDM fans are accustomed to an immersive experience in which DJs spin music continuously, silhouetted against hypnotically swirling video screens, in an environment where the only lofty concept is “PLUR” — “Peace, Love, Unity, Respect,” the mantra of rave culture.

That experience is both communal and idealistic, as reflected in the long-standing credo in the world of electronic dance music — PLUR, which stands for Peace, Love, Unity and Respect.
