Skrillex, Diplo, and Justin Bieber made one of the most enduringly iconic songs of 2015 in "Where Are Ü Now," creating something so ubiquitous that it's not really possible to talk about the current crossover pop potential of electronic music without mentioning it. Considering that its release marked such a significant event, it could be interesting to speculate about how history could have gone if the artists had produced something totally different-sounding. For instance, what would it look like if instead of coming together to make that heartfelt banger, the trio combined their collective powers to create the Seinfeld theme?
