Thematic analysis revealed three primary perceptions of sustainability in regards to electronic dance music, namely: Sustainability as unclear, sustainability as incompatible, and sustainability as weak. Further evaluation of the data utilising Geel’s (2002) multi-level perspective framework showcased a weak integration of sustainability into the sector due to sustainability’s incompatibility with economic incentives present in current infrastructure as well as a lack of economically viable solutions from the niche level.
