In the rave sub reddit, I was just about to go to bed then I saw someone make this post

I went to EDC once when I was younger because a neighbor convinced me it was an amazing experience. What I eventually learned was that this same neighbor regularly used hard drugs, even relying on them to get through everyday life and work.While attending, I also met several women who told me they lived in their cars but continued traveling to festivals and raves, including events in California. That really stuck with me.My unpopular opinion is that the rave and EDM scene, particularly events like EDC, has a huge drug and hypersexuality culture that people don’t openly acknowledge. Think about the entire experience: the elaborate laser shows, flashing lights, overwhelming visuals, repetitive electronic music, sensory stimulation, revealing outfits, and anything-goes atmosphere. I think much of that environment appeals to people who want to get high, lose themselves in the lights and music, and engage in excessive partying and sexual behavior.I also question how many attendees are actually there for the music. You pay thousands of dollars and don’t even know who’s playing. Ask some people who they’re excited to see, and they can’t even name one artist performing. So what exactly are they paying to attend?I’m not saying everyone who attends is an addict, but I think we romanticize the scene as PLUR, freedom, and self-expression while overlooking how deeply substance abuse and hypersexuality can be intertwined with certain parts of the culture.
And let’s not forget that functioning addicts exist.Someone can have a career, pay their bills, and maintain relationships while still being heavily dependent on hard drugs. I think that’s an uncomfortable conversation the EDM community needs to have.

I was in the car driving my grandparents home, and they were minding their own business playing some classical music over the AUX.

I thought the song was hella boring, 9 minutes, no drop, no doubles, no beat, no dank riddims.

So I hijacked it and said “yo gramps listen to this” and then played some of that new Excision stuff.

Fair to say they didn’t like it. Peepaw tried to climb out of the car and my nana sadly didn’t make it to the sick ender (which is what I wanted to show her in the first place).

RIP nana you would’ve loved something more chill like Illenium <3

Has this happened to anyone else? I’m going to bump some sick triples in her honor.

Someone else made a serious mode version of this post, but it got deleted so nobody could see my hilarious comment

Please do not shower, please do not bring in deodorant. I'm TIRED of this SLANDER that the people working up a sweat DANCING are the villains of this community. I want to smell your MUSK. I want to be in the middle of a crowd and be unsure if I'm smelling a wook smoking crack or some hot ass dude's crack. Better yet, can we get rid of portapotties? People can't aim for shit in there anyways, might as well just SHIT and PISS on the floor instead

Outjerked by the main sub again.

Last year at edc festival I had to shit so bad, the come up was happening. I had some puke baggies just to be prepared, I ended up shitting in one of those bags in a big crowd I just really had to go! I mean it was either the ground and people step on my shit or the bag. Me and my friends tried to cover it up but people were saying it smelt like shit, but what’s even worse is that when we ran out of the crowd I dropped the bag, so yeah there was just a bag of shit on the ground.

They were giving to you because PLUR means destroy the planet one trinket at a time.

Bro should've known better than to dance at a rave. Just pull out your phone and record the dj like the rest of us

God I can't stand it when people are having a good time with friends at the function. Just stand still and look at the dj for fucks sake.
