Extreme Piano Playing is part of the growing trend of 'extreme' sports which emerged in the 21st century.It originated as a misguided attempt to make classical music more relevant to today’s attention deficient youth, by combining piano recitals with violence. The sport, known to its enthusiasts as EPP, takes principles from the normal rules of piano playing and mixes them with something more sinister. 'Derek “Megaton” Worthington' widely regarded as the most extreme player of all killed his mother, himself and 71 others during his last concert, in which he faced world champion Klaus “Shrapnel” Smith.
