At the recent Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC), the legendary PLUR ethos—Peace, Love, Unity, Respect—came alive in heartwarming ways beyond just the music. A popular thread on r/electricdaisycarnival celebrated ravers stepping in to help each other capture magical moments on camera, from taking better videos of couples with fireworks to snapping group shots with flash for clearer memories.
Festivalgoers shared countless stories of kindness: offering their phones to film from higher vantage points, swapping kandi bracelets as tokens of friendship in exchange for a photo favor, and generally going out of their way to make sure no moment went undocumented. While the community stresses asking before borrowing phones, most rave attendees warmly embrace these gestures.
This culture of generosity mirrors the core values of rave life, helping solidify bonds and transform fleeting experiences into memorabilia that last a lifetime. EDC’s vibe truly extends beyond the stages—it thrives in these spontaneous, supportive connections between strangers turned friends.
