World War III in the Music Scene

Just this past weekend, DJ Michael Woods, known for his progressive house style music, was playing in a club in South Korea. He was not alone, however, sharing the room with Justin Bieber. Justin was just there having a good time, but decided to jump into the booth and request Michael to play hip-hop. DJ's don't comply well with music requests during their sets, especially when it's a request to shift genre's COMPLETELY, and Michael denied (quite harshly, i might add, using minor profanity and telling shirtless Bieber to put a shirt on). Bieber must have been shocked that he got denied, and impulsively took a swing at Michael's tour manager.

This feud could have easily been forgotten about, however Michael Woods took to his Twitter page and tweeted the entire situation. He explained what had just happened to his 162,000 followers, getting the support from his fans and fellow DJ's, such as DeadMau5 and Laidback Luke (DJ's are in their own kind of music family, always there to back each other up..especially when it comes to Twitter). That might not have been Michael Woods' smartest move, however, due to the fact that Justin Bieber has 45 million followers (80% of them being teenage girls). Michael Woods woke up the next morning with his Twitter inbox FULL of 'Beliebers' bashing him about the incident, pointing fingers and calling him every name in the book. Bieber didn't even tweet anything about the situation, and Michael Woods had hundreds of Bieber's fans attacking him, blaming him for the entire situation and calling him 'talentless' and 'immature'.

This just shows the power of social media in the midst of a situation, whether it be big or small. Anything you post on Twitter or Facebook is accessible to anyone, and Michael Woods had to learn that the hard way. Twitter is a platform that is easily changing not only the social aspect of life, but also music, business, art, and many other aspects.

Bottom line: don't tag Justin Bieber in a tweet that the Beliebers won't like.
