Mark Foster has it all
1 of the most popular, highest-selling songs of 2k11
in 'Pumped Up Kicks'
Tons of BJs from mad bitches
But most importantly
he has a love for rave-wave music
and SICK glowsticking skills
Mark Foster can twirl with the best of them.
Much like his own music career
Foster creates a vortex of positivity
within the orb of his glow
Rave, Rave, Against the Dying of the Buzz
Ur coonskin raver hat
unites u with the forest creatures
of the Dark Rave Forest
Glowsticks are an extension of ur nocturnal nature
Sometimes it feels
like when we rave
we are sorta wearing pumped up kicks
if u rlly think abt it...
I wish I could run right into ur bulky arms
falling asleep on ur tribal tat
I'm glad u finally took off ur church boy indie uniform
And showed us the BANGIN BOD that God blessed u with
Do u vibe on protein?
Muscle Milk?
How do u bulk up?
Tell me ur secrets, FosterTheBB...
Mark Foster has it all
a sick songwriting sensibilitie
a sick bod
a sick tribal tat
a sick coonskin raver hat
There is an art to glowstick twirling.
More importantly
there is an art to the photography of glowstick twirling
U look good, Mark BB!
Does Mark Foster look 'baller' and 'swag' as a raver?
Is 'Pumped Up Kicks' the #1 song of all time?
R u gonna get a tribal tat?
Are glowsticks the most authentic rave accessory?
Should I start a glowstick dance academy?

What if I told u that there was a magical ship that was filled with the most relevant DJs in the world: Skrillex, Steve Aoki, Diplo, A-TRAK, and MORE setting sail, heading towards destination: PARTY ISLAND, but then while u were on the journey to PARTY ISLAND, u realized that PARTY ISLAND was in fact a destination that lived inside ur heart? Would u jump on board this ship with the opportunity to bronoodle with premium nip slipping bikini BBs, dubstream tatted up bros, relevant DJs, hot altbagettes, and the most relevant ppl in the world? What if I told u that the entire ship was a metaphorical VIP area?
This was Holy Ship, some sort of 'electro rave cruise' that happened last weekend. It was an 'epic hang', although it could have ben widely referred to as 'the day the dubstep died' and/or 'Electro Titanic' if there was some sort of iceberg-wave tragedy.
Did u go 2 Holy Ship?
'Pick me up on Monday, mom.'
'Behind me, we will make DJ/dubstep history. Molly dealers will arrive to the ship in tugboats.'
Me and my best dubstream altbros were prepared to die on Holy Ship.
True or False: This is a picture of the most relevant DJs in the entire world.
Such SICK glowstick moves could only be legal in international waters...
How many Skrillexes can u carry?
Me and a Wizard! #selfpic
One thing I love abt Diplo is that he is always willing to expose the Western World to the 'savage, sexual dance moves' of foreigners and ethnics.
The Dubstep Guy from Korn and the guy from the Pamela Anderson sex tape were both there trying to improve their DJ careers
'One time I made a sweet sex tape with my wife, Pamela Anderson Lee on a boat. This boat is not as fun.' -Tommy Lee, future dubstepper of America association.

It was 'cheat day' at the Carnival Cruise buffet.

Molly has completely taken over my life.
She makes me feel like no other.
I feel like I'm addicted to Molly
She's taken over my system.
I'll never be able to see the world the same again after Molly
She makes me feel alive
She makes colors brighter
She turns sounds into shapes
Molly finds a way to make everything feel better.
Molly and I do everything together
We'll go to raves
We'll go to the movies
We'll sit around the apartment, listening to dubstep
Watching a cool light machine that we bought at the drug paraphernalia store at the mall
We'll stay up all night, then go out to breakfast
Molly is everything to me.
No one has opened me up quite like Molly has
She makes me unafraid to dance
Unafraid to smile
Unafraid to live
I grab her by the ass on the dance floor
and look into her eyes
and I kiss her
yeah... her sex is on fire. :-)
Molly makes me feel like I am rolling in the deep... in a good way
There will never be another one like Molly
Sometimes I worry that she'll run out on me one day
Sometimes I worry that she belongs to every one else
But then when I get Molly all to myself
All of my worries disappear.
There is no1 like Molly
Sometimes I get so overwhelmed that I just sit in darkness to try to get her out of my head
But then I realize that Molly is everything.
We'll laugh
We'll cry
We'll vibe
We'll cum
We'll curl up into a little ball and pretend we are amoeba
Molly can be so much sometimes.
I have to remember to drink water when I'm around her
She has a way of dehydrating me
Taking over my sensory system
Molly
I don't know how u do it to me
But u do it for me
And I want to be on Molly all the time now
A life without Molly is not a life worth living.
The Identity Festival came to a close this month, so there were tons more rave photos in miscellaneous locations around the country. We are continuing to monitor the proliferation of electro culture. Yes, 'electro music' has been around for a long time, but we are witnessing history as it continues 2 'go mainstream'. The modern rave is a threat to the traditional music festival because Generation Z kids might not care about Generation Y's boring ass indie music.
//RAVE OR EFFING DIE\\
R u going 2 go 2 Identity Festival next year to laugh @ all the ravers?
Or will u be there 2 RAGE LEGIT DUBSTEP?
Do u <3 or h8 RAVES?
Is MOLLY the official drug of the 2k11 rave?
Goo Goo Gaa Gaa Rave Rave! [via massive amounts of molly on my pacifier]
THIS IS HOW I ROLL [via acid / molly / xtc / mdma]
Electro music caused me 2 have a face period. #face_periods
'Ever since grandma died, grandpa has been trying to find himself. My grandpa became a raver.'
U still call it HOUSE MUSIC, bro? I thought the generally accepted term 4 the vague genre of popular electro is currently 'dubstep'?
'I only leave my grammy's basement when there is a rave within a 400 mile radius of her home.'
Raving is an equal opportunity experience
Why is ur ear blue? Why is a home improvement project dangling from ur ear?

Is rave rafting more dangerous than 'white water rafting'?

If I tackle this bro, do I get a 1-UP / extra life?
An overgrown tween bro sits in a Chili's stuffing his face with sliders, boneless buffalo wings, chicken crispers, SXSWestern eggrolls, and spinach artichoke dip. He wears a shirt that says 'DUBSTEP' on it multiple times.
Is he a mainstreamer?
Is he a lamestreamer?
Is he an alt?
Is he a raver?
Is he a tween alt?
Is he a dubstepper?
No. He is a dubstreamer. An emerging genre of suburban bros who are vibing to the recent 'trendy' electronic music called 'dubstep' that is going mainstream. Sure, he might listen to other bubble gum indie, but he understands that 'being into electro/dubstep' means that his vibe is on the cutting edge of modern partying. He goes to festivals to take some mollies, then feel the deep bass in his tummy, shaking his Chili's food within him as he digests.
Look at this effing dubstreamer. [Photos via the cobrasnake]
Raver or dubstreamer?
Looking keut in some dubstreamer gear
"The highlight of my life was watching Skrillex and an unmasked Deadmau5 dropping some heavy dubbeats at an exclusive impromptu VIP performance."
In the future, dubstep will be played at Chili's.
Dubstep is already on top 40 radio.
Brit Spears is already dubsteppy.
Dubstep DJs are becoming the most popular humans in the world.
Dubstreamers are a new relevant genre of alternative humans.
Yes, some ppl are still 'ravers', but the majority of these ppl are probably 'dubstreamers.'
Let's meet up at Chili's with our dubstream bros.
R u a dubstreamer?
Do u h8 dubstreamers?
Is dubstream 'the new punk'?
Is there a difference between 'dubstep' and 'dubstream'?
Did dubstreamers ruin dubstep?
Are the forces behind the dubstream explosion taking advantage of alternative middle markets in ways that high end indie never could?
What's the difference between a raver and a dubstreamer?

Apparently, 'raves' are totally hot right now, and there is some alt music festival going across the country called Identity Festival. Basically, they are taking the high-end marketed commercial rave vibes to Middle Americans who like to vibe out to LEGIT DUBSTEP like effing ROCKSTARS with SWAG who like to RAGE. SO CA$H. It seems like the spirit of high-end California wave marketed electro is sweeping across the nation thanks to acts like Deadmau5, Skrillex, and Steve Aoki. S0, S0 very CA$H.
It's great to see juggalos evolving beyond horrorcore to get into electro, dubstep, house-wave, and bangercore. 'It really feels like electro is the modern punk' -some bro who is really proud of being into electro
HAS ELECTROHOUSEDUBSTEPPY 'gone mnstrm'?
Have Middle Americans 'ruined' electro rave vibes?
Has 'electro music' become more popular than boring ass white man's 'indie'?
RAVE OR DIE!
One of the creators of South Park, Steve Aoki, and Diplo share an intimate moment backstage 2gether.

I am safe from radioactive non-electro vibes
A keut lil rapegaze bb!

Go back to the Gathering, friggin Juggalos!
Go back to Myspace, friggin myspacer!
Not sure where yall came from, so can't tell u where 2 go back 2....
Hi. We're in a serious relationship where we are not just dedicated to one another, but also the act of 'raving.' We are always on the lookout for a great new DJ, electro house mp3, or regional rave that we can drive 2. In addition, we spend a lot of time networking with a lot of other underground ravers, eventually looking to plan our own event. Unfortunately, it has become more difficult to plan a rave in a public park in the greater Los Angeles area.
The truth is, we're just like any mainstream couple. We eat most meals at Taco Bell. We enjoy going 'thrifting' at used toy stores, looking to find the child_wave accessory to put our personal brands over the top at the next rave. If you know a great place to find low-priced toys, backpacks, and other places where we can hide drugs, let us know.
Recently we adopted this African American baby. I know what ur thinking, "That's not a real baby." But the truth is, our rave-and-go lifestyle doesn't really allow us to take care of any one other than ourselves. Not even small pets. When you're off the grid for 5 days after ODing + suffering from rowdy dehydration--let's just say u shouldn't own a real baby unless ur interested in committing murder.
I'd say most ravers are misunderstood. They think we don't value life, and we just want to escape every chance we get at festivals that celebrate deviant electronic sounds and man-made drugs. While we do enjoy those things, we also take time to appreciate the simple things.
We like to shop for beanies and Indian_wave fleeces.
We do like to go to the desert and do peyote.
We enjoy getting piercings in kewl places.
We love Kool-Aid--not just for drinking, but also for colouring our hair.
We're always down to sit in the back of any van, have a great conversation, and take as many unknown pills as possible.
I know u wouldn't believe it, but we're just like you when we're not at raves.
The RaveWave lifestyle isn't just about 'Rave or Die.'
We believe that we have the option to 'Rave and Live.'
Are ravers 'valuable members of society' or do they just 'do tons of drugs', burden our emergency response healthcare services, and steal toys from children in need?
Do u ever see ravers doing 'normal ppl thing' and say 2 urself "Why don't yall just go to a rave and stop ruining the real world?"
Should all ravers be shipped 2 Australia so they can just live 'the party lifestyle' 24/7 in metaphorical exile?
Is it weird 2 see ppl who are 'way alt' in a normal context?
I'm so hornie
Super hornie
Just a hornie raver bro
Gonna get some horns
and glue that shit 2 my head.
Would be 'mad alt' if I were some how able
to grow horns out of my skull
Sorta look like the devil
Kinda jeal of ram horns though...
They seem mad alt
like u can really 'butt heads' with people
both physically
and intellectually
Elephant tusks seem mad alt, too
Bet u can really 'gore up ur parents'
when they tell u that u can't go out
and that u are not really 'gay'
that ur just pretending to be gay 'just to be different'
Horny toads seem chill too
Horns seem aggressive
but at the same time
'just trying to protect myself'
from so many natural and social predators who are trying to dampen my vibe/brand
Piercings on my face
connecting my nose 2 my mouth
Raver bracelets on my arms
painted finger nails
They are all pretty sweet personal branding tools
But I just wish I had something that 'set me apart' from the crowd
without being a deformity
Something that made me look like I was 'half animal, half human'
Kinda like the wolf tweens [link]
I'm deviant
I'm dark
I'm hornie
Just a lil hornie bro
Might go 2 a rave
I'm hornie
Gonna make out with my bro
Erect peens
I don't believe in 'gender'
I just believe in <3, h8, and cum
bc I'm hornie.
R u hornie?
Are horns an authentic personal branding tool?
Do ravers come up with the best personal branding gimmicks?
Do u know where I can buy some horns, or do I have 2 kill an animal?
What is the most authentic animal with horns?
I go 2 raves
2 see the nips
of gurlz on drugz
Some call me the nip slip bandit
My eyes are like telescopes
infrared vision
searching for that white hot heat of a nip
slipping out from a bra, tube top, or tankie toppie
In that moment that I saw that nip slip

What if I told u that some filmmakers debuted a documentary abt the Electric Daisy Carnival, and that the spirit of rave-wave vibes were so strong, that a MASSIVE RIOT started in the streets of Hollywood at the film's premiere? I don't know what it is abt EDC... They got tons of negative press after ppl died at their annual festivals, then they got ran out of town and forced to go to Vegas. But now some1 made a documentary abt the festival, then some electro house DJ was like "IM HAVING A FREE SHOW" [via twitter]. Tons of Los Angeles area electro tweens + aggressive bros came out, and they cops were like 'THERE'S 2MANYPPL [via 2manyDJs]!" and no1 wanted to leave bc every1 probably thought they were VIP, then when they found out that they weren't VIP, they started 2 riot.
A DJ set by Kaskade at the premiere of the Electric Daisy Carnival documentary, "Electric Daisy Carnival Experience," was shut down by police Wednesday evening in front of Grauman's Chinese Theatre when masses of fans spilled into Hollywood after Kaskade announced a live performance via Twitter. As the police attempted to disperse what turned into a huge gathering, crowds reportedly turned on the police and started throwing objects at them.
Soo many electro tweens. Maybe I should move 2 LA and become an alt DJ and become a 'God' bc I have 100k followers on twitter.
I heard all of those electro bros actually thought they were at a rave, so they went 'wild'n out' on the streets of LA.
Police said they were responding in force to several hundred people throwing bottles and other objects outside the premiere of the film version of a rave at Grauman's Chinese Theatre.
Several people jumped onto a squad car, but police said they could not confirm reports of a squad car on fire.
Poor dubstep bro. Seems like he just brought a CD binder and wants 2 vibe to some DJs.
Check out this bro... All he wants 2 do is rave. But the electro-h8ing 'pigs' are hauling him away.
Apparently some house DJ totally ruined this 4 every1.... Some bro named 'Kaskade'. In case u were wondering, he DOES have a soul patch.
Kaskade had tricked out a flatbed truck with his equipment -- and had planned to roll up, play two songs and head into the premiere, Los Angeles fire officials said. The event was permitted by the Los Angeles Fire Department, which planned a 30-minute lane closure of Hollywood Boulevard "with amplified music on the back of a flatbed truck," according to the permit.
About 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, Kaskade tweeted to his 92,000 Twitter followers that he was heading to Grauman's Chinese Theatre for a block party: "ME+BIG SPEAKERS+MUSIC=BLOCK PARTY!!!"
But as people began showing up, Duddie said it became clear that "a crisis was headed our way."
I might buy a 'flatbed truck' tricked out with DJ equipment, just to pick up 15 year old chicks at my local AMC movie theatres.
Anyways, the cops brought out some riot gear, and regulated on all of these ravers.
Whose side r u on?
#TeamRaveElectro or #TeamCityOfLosAngeles?
Do ravers need 2 behave?
Is 'electro' being glorified as 'the modern version of the punk movement', or are unregulated electro-fests actually a legitimate health and safety hazard that needs 2 be stopped?
Is it time 2 finally end the ELECTRIC DAISY CARNIVAL brand?
This may or may not be a metaphor for electro music's fight 4 acceptance in California.
Hey yall. I was chillin in London at some super underground rave, but then it went mainstream and the cops came 2 break it up. That's me in my palestinian scarf, vibing out, raging against society.
Let's just say we partied effing hard.
A number of officers were injured when bottles were hurled during clashes with a crowd of up to 500 youths at an abandoned former post office in central London.
Police desperately battled to calm the party but most of the people went back inside the building in High Holborn and continued partying.
Let's just say we 'effing crushed it.'
We 'raged' so hard that the 'pigs' were afraid of us. They just let us party cuz we're 'effing ballers.
One terrified officer said they were holding back because they did not want to cause any more trouble.
One officer said: 'We're hoping people will get tired and go home.' He said it was 'more trouble than it's worth' to cause a confrontation between police and party goers.
Felt awesome to transcend society's police. Feel like we really 'beat' society, even if it was just 4 one night.
We rode mad LSD waves. Heard that LSD is being branded by the same agency that does the GOT MILK campaign.
Some bros really 'got wild' and climbed on shit, took their shirts off, yelled at ppl. Worried that they 'rolled' 2 hard.
Feel like this rave was potentially not very hardcore because no1 died due to overdose/dehydration/getting trampled 2 death. Does California throw the best raves?
The Met said bricks were also thrown at officers as they attempted to disperse revellers. A number of buildings and vehicles were also damaged.
A number of buildings and vehicles were also damaged close to the eight-storey building, which is bordered by High Holborn, Museum Road and New Oxford Street.
Three people ended up needing hospital treatment, the force added.
The soundsystem 'crushed it'
Inside were 10 different 'arenas' with 30 sound systems, and 200 DJs playing through the night and day, he said.
He said this was the first such event in central London for nine years, adding: 'There will be a big resurgence of this sort of thing because of the economic situation. It's mirroring what happened in the last recession.
'It never went away but now it's a lot more in your face again. It's organic, it becomes its own life form.'
200 DJs. Seems like a lot of DJs. Wonder if they all have sweet DJ names.
Have u ever been 2 an underground rave?
Should the cops have 'riot squadded' this place and beat a few ppl to 'set an example'?
Should cops just let bros partie?
Does this rave seem 'legit' or 'legit lame'?
Should lawmakers enable police men 2 'burn every1 alive' if they are attending a rave?
Are raves 4 every1 or some sort of 'underclass' of society?
Do yall like techno haus?
Who has the best raves: California, Euros, Germans, England ppl, or ppl from Africa?
Just saw this bro convert a youth baseball helmet into an authentic disco ball helmet. Seems like he 'really knows where da party at.' Wanna vibe out with him, party on the go, hit up some raves, bang some bitches wearing nothing but my discoball helmet. Might even install an IV that gets me 'fucked up' on acid/ XTC / pcp / meth /meow meow, pumping that shit directly into my brain.
Just want to feel protected from 'line drives', 'foul balls', and 'stray pitches.' Worried that i will be attacked by juggalos, but sorta still want people 2 know that I am 'down 2 party.' Need safety + something that takes my prsnl brand 2 the next level.
Do yall know how to convert a baseball helmet into a discoball?
Is the discoball helmet gonna 'catch on' at relevant raves?
Should I wear a The XX tshirt to a relevant music festival? [via The Dos Equises] Just wanna celebrate the Mercury Prize/being the most interesting man+buzzband alive.
Just wanna go 2 a rave
be young forever
even though I am 'getting heavier' in my mid-section
still gonna wear short shorts + rave gear
So many prsnl brands at raves...
sigh...
Just wanna be free
have an absurd escape from reality
want to do drugs, party, listen to electro DJs
overdose
have my friends drop me off naked + unconscious on my parents' door step
Are raves the new 'music festivals'?
Should I have a discoball glued 2 my skull?
Does every 'good looking' raver have a 'hefty raver' BFF?
R yall tired of raves? Will they basically look the same forever?
Should raves cobrand themselves with ur regional 'marley fest'?
