The r/electricdaisycarnival subreddit recently hosted a fiery discussion centering on PLUR (Peace, Love, Unity, Respect) principles versus personal accountability among festival friends. A community reminder emphasized not abandoning friends regardless of circumstances during fest chaos, reinforcing PLUR’s core ethos.
But the conversation quickly deepened. Redditor Khuush challenged the unconditional angle, sharing firsthand accounts of friends whose reckless partying spoiled nights—leading to tough calls: “leave or shape up.” This sparked robust debate over where caring ends and tough love begins.
Others admitted growing wary of relying on friends in large rave environments. One user declared they’d attend solo to avoid being ditched; another lamented how frequently abandonment happens.
This thread captures a pressing tension at festivals like EDC Las Vegas (May 16–18, 2025): balancing heartfelt community care with realistic self-preservation in a scene that’s both euphoric and chaotic.
Attendees should keep this conversation in mind as the festival nears, coupled with the forecast calling for highs near 90–92°F and lows around 65–69°F—hot weather that demands vigilance, responsibility, and ideally, dependable friends.
