6:46Now Playing"The Molly in question is the latest, purportedly purified version of MDMA -- aka ecstasy -- its new moniker derived from the word 'molecule'. Tom Ford being a fashion label, the proposition is that one either uses MDMA or wears an expensive black tuxedo. It is a false dichotomy, of course, but it does illustrate American popular music's recent conflict of interest with the drug.
Molly's ascent to the mainstream lexicon has roughly coincided with the ascent of Skrillex and the clumsily named electronic dance music (EDM) to the top of the US dance music charts. It has become ubiquitous not just at clubs and festivals but on television commercials, in sports arenas and anywhere else requiring euphoric builds and monstrous crescendos."*
