The r/electricdaisycarnival subreddit recently erupted over a shirt featuring colorful pill-like icons on a black background, designed specifically with the Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) in mind. The vast majority of commenters expressed strong reservations, pointing out that the shirt’s imagery strongly suggests drug use and could attract unwanted attention from law enforcement, including undercover agents.
Key points from the community discussion:
- Many saw the shirt as an unwise choice that effectively broadcasts "MY PERSONALITY IS DRUGS," risking scrutiny and potential hassles throughout the festival weekend.
- Some users argued that if a wearer isn’t actually carrying substances, the risk might be less, though the message remains provocative.
- Others emphasized respecting personal style, but most still leaned toward caution given the festival context and safety concerns.
EDC has a well-known focus on safety and community care, working closely with local authorities and medical teams to create a secure environment. The festival offers numerous tips and resources designed to help attendees look out for themselves and each other. More on EDC safety efforts can be found here.
Given the feedback and EDC’s commitment to a safe experience, festival-goers are urged to think carefully about clothing choices that might signal drug use or draw unwanted law enforcement attention. Prioritizing community standards and personal safety can help keep the weekend fun and stress-free for everyone.
