Lots of songs in the Soundtracks.
I wanted to like this because the male lead GP played the son on The Good Wife (2009-2016), and plays another sincere (albeit foul-mouthed) character here. But the story had a lot of drug-soaked kids at a rave, doing things they may regret later.
GP, as an aspiring DJ (why are they considered artists/musicians now?) becomes YouTube famous for his mixes, and is hired for a festival/rave. But his bff/manager gets waylaid by a girl who kisses him with some hallucinogen on her tongue, so he's rendered useless for most of the film. Arrangements had not been well made, and GP has difficulty getting into the venue, but finally gets swept in by the established, Diplo-esque DJ's manager. They dazzle and seduce GP, offering to release some of his tracks on the DJ's label. But others warn GP that this is how DJ rips off naive artists. Bff sobers up enough to find GP and help him crash his track into the soundsystem. I didn't notice if that means a happy beginning to GP's career, or what...ever.
There are a couple other subplots, but nothing to make this worthwhile.
