Now that "the scene" is no longer fractured geographically -- i.e. now that it's easier to search around the world to find people that like exactly the same stuff you like -- people feel freer to wall themselves up in "genre" fortresses, and expect the DJs that they follow to do likewise.
When things were more local, you had fewer choices: you either went to the EDM events and record shops near you or you didn't; there was little way to satisfy any ultraspecific tastes you had, apart from making the music yourself. This might have made people a little more open to diversity in sets.
Who knows, though. Maybe I'm just talking shit.
