How to blend in with the festival going crowd this summer
Get your overly expensive casual clothing and unique headwear ready. Summer festival season is upon us, whether you choose to go to Bonaroo, Electric Forest, Global Dance festival or the many more that are popping up all over the nation.
A musical festival has a certain culture and here are the steps to take so you can to fit in.
1. Be from California. If you’re not, pretend to be. Try watching the Saturday Night Live skit, “The Californians,” to get familiar with how to act.
2. Breathe Free People. This store looks effort vintage and thrifty although, unfortunately, over-priced. However, if you try to wear anything actually vintage, or from a thrift store, they will know you are posers.
3. Headdresses. You need to wear a flower crown or a headdress. There is a big issue with hipsters wearing Native American headdresses because it is considered a sign of disrespect, but if you are going to a music festival, you have to do it.
4. Know all of the bands. Even if you actually don’t, say that you know every band and that you have been listening to them since before they became big.
Overall, just be as pretentious as possible and Instagram like your life depends on it.
