Deep inside the endless well of bass, you just might find yourself. Here are 13 hardcore ravers who will teach you the ways of Ravetopia, in animated GIF.
13. The Bikini Bus
Dancing to: Hardwell
Shaking one’s ass is not going to make the bus come any faster, but it sure does make the wait more fun!
12. All About The U
Dancing to: Afrojack
Nothin’ like a good air-hump fist-pump in front of 60,000 people to get the party started. 11. Bro
Dancing to: Krewella
Dude’s just a bro doing brostep with his bros, aight. Grab a rail and hang tight, dude. These bros are rockin’.
10. Ravey-Go-Round
Dancing to: Day three, live stage
Between all these wacky characters, there must be at least 30 pockets and stash spots. But the head magician still can’t hang onto his phone without dropping it.
Dancing to: Porter Robinson “Dance? Like, with a girl? Yeah, right. Fine, spin me once. Whoa, that’s it babe. Love ya. Phew, it’s tough being Triple Swag Fred.”
8. Hula Girl Dancing to: Seven Lions Alright, we’ve watched this loop 37 fucking times and we still have no idea how she does this trick. Rave on, hula girl. Rave on.
7. Cranked Up Dancing to: Flosstradamus Trapsylvania is no place for amateurs. If your feet do not emit clouds of smoke when you dance, just take a step back and appreciate.
Dancing to: Day two, main stage Mysterious and alluring, the techno siren will draw you in with her style and moves, then eat your soul in sacrifice on the sacred altar of Beatfreakia.
Dancing to: Flux Pavilion vs. Doctor P It’s like the ground is a typewriter and he just wrote an entire book with his feet.
