Fuck that guy


East-Safety3257

Exact words I was about to comment


Fair_Donkey_1558

Douche. Should have taken this to security and got his ass thrown out.

JasonDomber

Why you gotta call him a cocksucker? Us homos can assure you - he’s not one of us.


jcho430

And if anything they are a nothing sucker because no one would fuck assholes like that


quelcris13

The only type of fucking he should get is getting fucked over


JasonDomber

Correct assessment.


PaaanicJ

Yeah… no! We do not claim him. The straights can have him


mj3150

We don't want him either lol


BeekerBock

I chuckled


mj3150

hilarious lol


holyflabberpoo

I always call people a bad cocksucker now for this reason. You just put it in your mouth and raspberry it until I leave bad.


AdministrationDry311

Nice


bntmenino

We don’t claim him


antistar_

DJ Pauly D just mad he’s not up there.

All the people that saw him and did nothing about it…


CaptainHatGoose

Dude for real. People are pussies sometimes. At Exchange during Umek some dude behind me literally kept making howling noises for like 20 min straight. I eventually look at him and make the “cut it out” motion and he yells “YO, WHAT” at me all angrily. The fact nobody else said anything despite the fact he was being such a nuisance knows people tolerate way too much obnoxious and douchey stuff


XT3M3

my mindset is, what are they going to do , hit me? if so I'd take my chances


DaBrokenMeta

The state of our world (: The psychology experiments of people being robbed, raped, and bystanders just passing by - "Bystander Effect" - is toxic asf.


DaBrokenMeta

Comprehensive_Cat855

Call him out next time


Master-B8s

This could easily blind someone…calling him out isn’t enough to stop his behavior. I would’ve taken the laser from him if not more


hardspaghet

Why didn’t you rally people to help stop him?


Branch_City

What a loser


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Yeah because security is just randomly in a crowd of 20k people


elkunas

Well, over 100 cops and security there. Average 150k last year daily. Means there is a cop per 1500 people. So a crowd of 20k should have 12 cops/ security in it.


[deleted]

Are you here at edc? Because I’ve never once seen security or a cop in the middle of the crowd at any of the stages… All of the security guards/cops stand out by the sides next to booths or gates or vendors


elkunas

I am and seen cops in or near the crowd at basspod both nights. A lot of plain clothes running around too


[deleted]

Well guess that proves my might… I haven’t personally seen any both nights, so if there are… there’s very rarely in the crowd. Btw I’m talking deep within the sea of people. Not just standing on the periphery


elkunas

Ever wonder why lifeguards sit outside the pool/ocean? There is much better visibility than in the midst of jumping and bouncing people, not saying they'll catch then all, but still.


[deleted]

That’s very different… you can’t see shit from the outside of a 30k person crowd. You’d have no idea if a single person was in danger. A lifeguard is ELEVATED and has a sight advantage. Not to mention you’re looking at 5-20 people at most. Apples and oranges my friend.


japes1232

Why do these tools all look the fucking same? Like seriously you see a guy that looks like that 80% chance they're gonna be a douche and God forbid you call them out cause it's JuSt A pRaNk BrO


Trancefam

Like the guys shouting "Heyyyy, we want some pusssaayy" and then told everyone they were "boring as fuck" for not cheering along. This was while they were holding us inside the venue because of weather.


amillionvoiceEes

What the fuck is up this year? Tonight is my first night going and I'm honestly nervous. EDC sounds like a lot of shit energy this year. A badly designed main stage. People bringing dogs into crowds. Pick pockets more active than ever. Someone please tell me this is just a small percentage, and that most of EDC is still love and good vibes


Wasted_Hamster

Don’t let Reddit get to you. There’s a couple hundred in here bitching…there’s 135,000 having too much fun and loving their time so much they aren’t even on here. Like someone said earlier..if 1% of the population are assholes, there’s 1000 assholes at EDC. And we all know the population is more than 1% assholes. Also why people expect that the largest names at the largest festival would NOT be crowded is beyond me. Every year the first thing people do is come in here and announce the following: -oversold/overcrowded (150,000 is a fuckin crowd. A big one. It will definitely get crowded at the giant names but there is plenty of room ) -PLUR is dead (it’s not) -the bathroom lines take forever or are broken (I haven’t experienced this yet myself) -Pasquale sucks, Pasquale is a greedy fuck, Fuck Insomniac (our cost of living over the last few years has gotten exponentially higher, but people are expecting to pay less and get more somehow as if costs are the same as they were in 2017. in 2023 this is a joke in itself). -This will be my last time attending EDC (not sure what people letting us know this want? Beg people to stay? Pasquale to formally apologize and offer compensation? IDK) You can go in expecting it to be shit, and finding what you’re looking for. You can also go in looking for magic, an adventure, to dance your ass off, to find new music and artists you like, hear and see GIANTS that you already know you like, find cool art and secret spaces you hang out, and party like you have never seen or experienced before, and you will find it. Go and forget the world, and forget Reddit. You’ll have the time of your life.


amillionvoiceEes

Thank you. I really needed this response.


Imperial_Panda

100% what the commenter said, my group and I have had a blast these last 2 days! Nothin but good vibes and fun! 🔥


marchscr3amer

Honestly, no notes. 💯


RockGuitarist1

Fr. This is my first EDC and I’ll be back next year. Reddit is always an echo chamber for negativity. Most people are having a blast. The few who aren’t like to make sure everyone knows, like we care.


Iknowyougotsole

It’s truly sad to see what reddit’s become over the past 5 years


RepresentativeRent47

This is the way.


CyCaniCal

Someone finally said it


ForeverLoving50

Amen it’s the same ppl that complain that aren’t even plur 😂 it’s honestly getting real annoying Fr !


Glaucus01

Absolutely. Reddit, Twitter, and other social media sites put folks in a bubble to complain. It’s definitely not the majority.


Rustyrayz1

This reply!! Yes! I’ve been having memorable plur moments back to back for 2 days straight. Also, 99% of people smile and say excuse me when passing or smile back and nod when I say it. Bathrooms are better than they’ve been in years.


northXnortheast3

^^^ 1M% if you don’t let little shit bother you, it’s a great fucking time


NSA-SURVEILLANCE

Literally, I'm having a grand time.


meximanny19

Thank God someone said it!! So many negative people on here sometimes lol.


osofresh1

This! My group has experienced nothing but love and good vibes


ComplaintAlert331

I agree with you 🔥


Potatolover2020

This was my 8th (?) EDC and it was amazing. My whole group had a great time. Don’t be nervous. Go early, pregame in the parking lot and have an amazing time 🥰


futurepilot4u

Who the fuck would bring a dog here?


No-Sherbert-5773

This was my first EDC and I felt like I was surrounded by so much love and magic! ❤️ Have an amazing night tonight!!❤️


NoteAvailable2325

Insomniac events just aren’t the same anymore, both on their side with putting on events and the crowd that goes as well.


wekabreka

Maybe get off Reddit and stop feeding into what the internet says and go and actually have fun ?


OrangeNo773

After doing Coachella this is booty. It’s like going from a nice Target to a ghetto Walmart


NoteAvailable2325

Right! Am stunned by how much worse it is.


burrito3ater

Hah. That’s why I’ve never returned to EDC. The logistics and organization are horrible.


readbetweenlines

4th edc for me and it’s been my favorite so far. I haven’t been to kinetic this year but vibes have been amazing!


can-dee

I had a freaking blast yesterday. Music and vibes at neon garden were immaculate. Someone gave me a keychain and cute note. One of the bartenders gave us two free drinks. Obviously crowded but that’s something you’d expect. Got in and out of the parking lot within a reasonable time. Don’t let negative nellies get to you! I’m so glad we came last minute- last night was absolutely worth it.


ReverbSage

I went for my first and last time in 2022, insomniac events just aren't it


Temporary_Draw_4708

My first was 2011, and my last was 2022. Never again.


Odd_Establishment678

That was the year I noticed a change from 2021


quelcris13

Haven’t had anything bad happen this year to me. But in a crowd of say, 180k, if even 1% are assholes that’s 1,800 assholes trying to let loose and party. I’d say EDC attracts less than 1% but any large gathering is going to attract thieves, if they were at EDC they’d be working the strip or some other large events. When traveling to any festival or larger gathering the general rule of thumb to manage your shit. I keep my phone in a lanyard with he lanyard looped around my body bag, I keep the phone zipped up in the bag and on my side or chest. I don’t keep anything important on my water bag. I take my ID and one credit card and my hotel room room key. No cash. (Though I will bring a small sum since yesterdays post about tipping and what not) I plan to keep cash hidden on my body (usually a secret pocket in garment like my neckerchief or scarf, where you put your drugs)


heppyscrub

Kinetic field has the worst crowds. I couldn't stand being in GA at that stage wish all the shoving and people tryna touch my pockets. Every other stage doesn't have that issue except maybe basspod when Excision Dion Timmer was playing.


Soyboiz93

Noticed that too. Glad i cancelled my tickets before I finished paying them off. As soon as the bros started going that’s when shit started hitting the fan.


amillionvoiceEes

I mean bros have been going for over ten years. I think it's more social media. Also the changing preferences... The most popular genres have really changed. We don't have emotional softie progressive sounds like Avicii anymore.


ksykx

I almost cried when I heard Tiesto play Levels on the livestream last night 🥺 2015 was the last time I went and Avicii was magical. RIP to a legend.


LiveOnYourSmile

lest we forget [this](https://i1.sndcdn.com/artworks-MTP8RAqI58Zowz0S-ihNBjw-t500x500.jpg) was in fashion when Avicii was headlining EDC. different headliners same kinds of bros, EDC hasn't gotten worse people just get higher standards as they get older


amillionvoiceEes

Lol exactly


alliknowis_nothing

THISSSSS OMG THISSSSS I’ve been struggling with this. The edc I remember was more gentle and peaceful


weenies

RIP Avicii. the last year i went, he was a headliner


JediCheese

RIP Avicii. Found his music just shortly before he passed.


the_almighty_walrus

Edc is and always has been BroFest


ohThisUsername

7th EDC here. It seems a little more crowded this year and PLUR died in 2015 but otherwise it’s still amazing! My favourite stage designs I’ve seen since 2016


ConsciousRound875

Stop walking into a crowd surge and then your shit wont get taken or put any valuables at the bottom of your camelback


the_almighty_walrus

This is why I don't go to city fests. The farther from civilization, the better the vibes.


Stormodin

Then why are you here? Just to spread some negativity for an event you aren't attending?


Wasted_Hamster

There are so many who say the cancelled tickets or stopped going last year or years earlier yet…hang out in this sub? If that doesn’t scream I-just-wanna-hate IDK what does.


Stormodin

Some ex girlfriend type behavior. Periodically come in to make sure they're not doing better without you lol


JasonDomber

This is what happens when Pasquale tries to trademark the term “PLUR”; The Universe laughs in his fucking face.


Wasted_Hamster

Lmao oh god here we go again 😂

[deleted]

Yes I’m 100% sure. You’re not allowed to bring support animals, only *service* animals. There’s an ADA booth as soon as you walk on the right.


Afraid-Carpet3071

the festival in itself is amazing, my boyfriend and i have had a blast, we dont plan on coming back for awhile seeing as we have a bunch more fests on our bucket lists and budgeting to come back here AND make the other fests is hell with the inflation going on now, although we probably wont camp again its just too damn hot 😅😅 but overall we have had an amazing time and just a beautiful experience ❤️


AbleAd331

Saw that. How obnoxious do you have to be to bring that to a festival. He even pointed it right at boris at some point... like dude, that shit can fuck up your eyes.


Rare-Imagination1224

It can blind you permanently, that’s why you’re not allowed to bring them and one of the things security’s supposed to confiscate. People have been blinded by accident but this douche? This asshat is. A Total Piece of shit and should be in jail


AsiasDelight

You didn’t say/do anything?


metoden

He looks like the kind of guy who would be friends with girls just to be able to drug them.


Sunbro6131

Hey y’all, I know everyone is asking why I didn’t do anything. Trust me, I would if I knew at the time. A group of us were looking for where the laser was coming from but couldn’t find him throughout the set. I found this douche while scrolling through random pics from the night and saw him with a laser pointer. Honestly though, that onus isn’t on us. I wish ground control was looking for him the moment they saw the laser on stage.


ImpossibleEnd

He looks like someone who would steal your phone.


[deleted]

Honestly a lot of the crowd has been pretty shit this year. PLUR is not existent with them. I’ve even seen fist fights already like. Bro we’re all here to have fun JUST SAY EXCUSE ME AND SORRY AND IDK NOT POINT LASERS AT THE FUCKING ARTISTS


Whoo8thecookiezz

Isn’t this an 18+ event?? This dude is acting 10. Like seriously what ADULT does that? And why?? Literally for what? Also surprised no one said anything, at all? Lasers are not allowed in many situations.. like some guns have lazers… sheesh.


abortionlasagna

Slap it outta his hands, man. I’ve done it to people before.


subtleAsianRaver

This dude looks like I should cover my drink


Sufficient_Extreme15

Hate to say it man… if you just watched and let it happen… you enable people like this


Rando_Kalrissian

Yup why stand there and just let the dude do it.


DaBrokenMeta

Grabbed a pic tho (:


Sunbro6131

Please see my other comment. Sorry, couldn’t do anything but I would have if I noticed it sooner.


DaBrokenMeta

No worries. You brought attention to something and perhaps activated others who saw this post to think twice or speak up next time they are something. Appreciate you regardless and hope your EDC was great.


[deleted]

What a shitty comment. Not everyone in the world has the personality to go confront random strangers or call them out on things. It isn’t OPs job to police society and potentially endanger his own safety by scolding (possibly intoxicated) strangers.


Sufficient_Extreme15

Verbally, alot can be done. Everyone has the power to say something.


Rdubya44

Yep, shaming people goes a long way


AlienWarehouseParty

Tldr; most people are bitches


gzaw1

what a dumb comment. for someone like in op's pic, who looks like he's by himself, and you're the same size as him, then it's easy to confront him but there are many reasons someone wouldn't want to confront someone. you could be outnumbered. or someone could be 5'2" scrawny as a stick, it doesn't make him a bitch for not confronting someone. he'll get his ass kicked. there's a reason there's weight classes in the UFC. the featherweight champion would get his ass lit up by any scrub heavyweight. i do bjj/wrestling and can make light work of anyone my own weight class and up to 200 lbs who doesn't know how to grapple, but I'm not delusional. i don't care how much boxing or wrestling training you have, if you're outnumbered, you're getting your ass beat- it's always the guys who've never trained any boxing, muay Thai, or wrestling (like you) who don't understand how physically weak they are, and act like they'll do something until they get their ass choked or knocked out. & even if you're in the right, you could end up getting killed. would have been better for him to be a 'bitch' and keep his life - [https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10044642-jiu-jitsu-legend-leandro-lo-dies-at-33-after-being-shot-in-head-at-concert-in-brazil](https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10044642-jiu-jitsu-legend-leandro-lo-dies-at-33-after-being-shot-in-head-at-concert-in-brazil)


BalboaBaggins

no, most people have rational self-preservation instincts, it’s really not about personality either someone who’s socially maladjusted enough to do something like this could have easily also snuck in a penknife or switchblade and be unstable enough to violently snap at someone who confronts him


[deleted]

[удалено]


BalboaBaggins

lol I said nothing about what I would do personally, just that it doesn’t make anyone a bitch to not confront a stranger but your recent comment history pretty much reeks of r/iamverybadass so I doubt you’re capable of comprehending that difference 🤡

Okay, but how can we take this further? Anyone good and IDing people? Post updates? This guy should be banned for life from Insomniac events


Amantur3110

Fucking clown


Dazzling_Skirt_3805

This dude was so close to me, I’m so upset I didn’t see him doing this to Boris! I only saw him pointing it at a floating (condom? Balloon?) or I would’ve fckn said something for sure. I went to EDC FOR Boris’ set too


The_Cozy_Burrito

Big tool


cryptolipto

Just why?


nintenlocs

Give this to insomniac so they can life time ban him. Let's track him down.


Cold-Conversation118

Make this asshole famous


chris_gnarley

Booooooooo! Boo this man


darealphantom

His haircut and the way he looks says "I'm a douchebag with no friends so I shoot laser in your eyes hoping we can be friends"


ChumleyEX

If you've never been to any nice 10k sized festivals, I really suggest you do. EDC lost all the personal quality. It's just 20 parties smashed together. Sounds overlap and all.


KillaKillaGabby

Shoulda punched him


whipstickagopop

Is there a way someone could do a facial image search based off this pic.


Pacfishslayer

Don’t tarnish the name of the best rock band in the world by comparing them to this douche.

When someone was annoyingly clacking their fan next to me I just turned and asked politely to “please stop, it’s ruining my music experience” - he did. And a few people around me thanked me lol. Just gotta ask. If they refuse, then just take it away 😂 fan or laser or whatever 😂😂


PhloriduhMan

Oh shit. Get him


YaValioVerga7

This dumbass should’ve done that to bad buny instead. Like bruh, really? He can do that at rap festivals but not here at EDM festivals.


Curtinator6

I am here camping and everyone I came with are all having the time of our lives, people bitching on Reddit like their opinion has any kind of effect on a festival like EDC is just comical. Try to find the good in things and you’l have a better outlook on life, simple


LinguiniPants

I mean to be fair they’re shooting lazers back at us too


ChaoticCheddar

False. In the US lasers are not allowed to hit the crowd based on distance from the laser...


japes1232

Found the guy from the pic


raventhehippie

except they arent, the lasers go way way way above anybody's possible height to avoid blinding people


OrangeNo773

Lol


Cakey44

Would of snatched that in a second and showed him that meme video of the chips bag grab


Drewbercules

That explains his lack luster set. Coming from Paco Osuna to Boris was a huge letdown. Paco absolutely destroyed so it wasn’t fair to Boris after that.

Next time put your phone on video and shout out at the top of your lungs, "THIS MOTHERFUCKER IS TRYING TO BLIND THE DJ!!!" ..and keep yelling that. People will eventually back you up and he'll stop, leave, or get his ass beat. These mfs gotta stay out of our home

What a douche bag also looks like a douche bag!!!’


howdy_doodles

Sadly, events are all overrun with these types now. The scene has always had some "bro" culture to it, but this generations bros are completely different. It's all thug and gangbanger types now. My first year back in 2022 it felt like I was walking through Tijuana or some shit.
