A powerful anthem cheering on those outside the mainstream.
Released by Pink in October 2010, this anthem brims with deep affection and understanding for people labeled as “losers” or “misfits.” It’s a sincere message that resonates precisely because it was crafted by an artist who has walked that very path.

Happy ViolenceDada Life
It might be closer to just Western pop rather than EDM, but I think that’s because recent Western music has been turning more EDM-like.
I only know this one song by this artist, but since it’s a track that gets played over in-store background music and such, I think it’s a famous piece of music.
Personally, I like it because the vocalist’s voice has a poignant, sorrowful feel.
