EDM-lite brozers the Chainsmokers continue to simultaneously thrive and make everyone mad. The duo — who recently wrote a song about listening to Beach House, were covered by Switchfoot, collaborated with Blink-182 and started development on both a TV show and movie based on their songs — are now being scolded for hosting a socially undistanced show in the Hamptons.

The duo brought their incredibly gentle dance pop to the Hamptons for a "drive-in" concert over the weekend. The goal was to keep the crowd socially distanced throughout the 100-acre venue. There was also free face masks and hand sanitizer, with temperatures tested at the entrance.

That said, videos from the event look exactly like a Chainsmokers show pre-COVID. There are very few masks being worn, and no one's in their car or socially distancing.
