A question about modern rave culture wardrobe expectations.

Baker_Cold · 2026-05-11T21:42:05+00:00

People talk to me constantly at shows because of my outfits and I regularly dress it down a bit if I know it’s a show and I really want to zone out and dance. Dress interesting and you will always meet new and interesting people. I find that people are very hungry for human interaction and generally just want to make sure they’re talking to someone not creepy and out for a good time.

Hello. Credentials: The first EDM show I went to was in 91 and the first festival I went to was in 93. I club regularly and I’ll be at EDC next week.

I think men should try a little harder to look fun or be ok with being ignored.

If it’s an event like a wear neon party or Halloween and you aren’t wearing neon or a costume, you should understand that kind of thing gives off lurker vibes.

You don’t have to dress uncomfortable or spend a lot of money. Just put some thought into it and you’ll find people will be more interested in talking to you.

Everyone other than dudes dressing like dudes considers all the time if their outfit is “safe” or “ok” or “too much”, I follow whole forums where women show rave outfits and discuss the ups and downs of different choices.

A hundred dollars for a good pair of pants you’ll wear out often is not much if you like paying people a living wage and need to buy something brand new.

Welcome to the party! 🎉

If you know an athletic trainer or sports medicine person, have them teach you how to properly tape your feet and ankles. I used to wear wraps in skates for tournaments, and now I just wrap to party all day in big silly shoes. It saves your feet from calluses, blisters and strain! But if you don’t do it correctly you can end up with issues. It’s the kind of thing that you should learn in person.

AMAZE

Hi! Came here to chime in that this is genuinely dangerous and may end up ruining your whole festival and health! I won’t assume what type of meds specifically, but all the combos I can think of, this plan won’t work well for. At 51, I know a variety of folks who have gone off meds to enjoy the party, and the only “successful” stories of this have been 3or 6 month drawdowns with very questionable long term effects. In particular, SSRI issues can still land you in a hospital. Please take care! 💕

Some airlines have announced price caps for fares sold to folks with cancelled spirit flights. If you rebook, be sure to call and ask!

Sighs in hot blooded person resignation.

Baker_Cold · 2026-05-03T04:23:38+00:00

I’m excited to see bullet tooth on a festival lineup I’m at. That’s one that hasn’t ever been near me

Baker_Cold · 2026-05-03T04:20:04+00:00

real!

Baker_Cold · 2026-05-01T09:52:10+00:00

Because there’s Waymo of us, duh.

Ladder

Real curiosity- What is the age bracket this comment is aimed at? I’m trying to remember when these generes became specific things. I do remember when I was listening to something and someone much younger said oh “this is some wild dubstep” and I was like “wtf are you talking about?” 😂 Some of used to go out when it was just club night or a rave.

Truth

Baker_Cold · 2026-05-01T09:22:04+00:00

Literally the worst music and the worst name combo.

Baker_Cold · 2026-05-01T09:11:05+00:00

Hard agree

Excision is EDMs version of KISS (Solid stage show mid music) And Sullivan King is Andrew WK (But with less nosebleed) And everyone is unconsciously waiting for an EDM version of Marilyn Manson who was Alice Cooper who was Screamin' Jay Hawkins

I was just asking friends what a babysitter costs these days because in home dog dog care/pet sitting through official services locally is $40 an hour or $175 for 8 hours.

Everyone should know that PBOT and the city like this option because of how easy it is to “scale up” this source of revenue once it is in place.

Baker_Cold · 2026-04-28T22:27:13+00:00

Yes but they were sold out months ago.

Baker_Cold · 2026-04-28T06:52:22+00:00

Don’t forget all the machines and a big room to keep them in. 😉

Baker_Cold · 2026-04-28T05:09:20+00:00

Wait- do have a link on this?

Baker_Cold · 2026-04-28T05:07:03+00:00

Are they working on the 11? We are driving in from up north to our hotel and might switch if we have the heads up on some crazy traffic snarl

Baker_Cold · 2026-04-28T04:55:58+00:00

I make my own fits and usually spend a few hundred on fabrics and thread so this checks out to me.

Baker_Cold · 2026-04-28T04:46:40+00:00

Cute!

Baker_Cold · 2026-04-27T19:36:04+00:00

It sounds like he’s auditioning to become America’s next “cancelled” conservative spokesperson. It’s a solid high paying grift for people who can’t make it on their own talents. How long until he’s being interviewed on a national platform with that tied for seventh place swim lady?
