Admit it, we all love seeing the different totems at festivals. They have the limitless potential to be extremely big, funny, genius, and sometimes even a little inappropriate. People put endless hours of work into creating intricate totems that come in all shapes and sizes. Totems are an instrumental part of the EDM Culture we all know and love. Its sad to say that the summer is almost over which means festival season is swiftly coming to an end. In honor of another whirlwind festival season, we've assembled a list of the best totems this year, from Ultra, to EDC Vegas, right here in NYC at Electric Zoo. Here are the Top Ten Best Totems of Summer 2016.


10. We're Home at EDC Vegas

The new Star Wars movie had everyone running off the the cinema, so it only seems a matter of time before someone will make a totem out of it. Returning to a festival that you’ve already been too is a liberating feeling, this sign says it all.


9. The Steve at EDC Vegas

Your mind can play tricks on you, especially when you’re at a music festival. We are all a fan of Steve Buscemi, so seeing him peeking out above the crowd is a welcome site.


8. F*ck Trump at Ultra Music Festival Miami


May 4th is universally considered Star Wars day - “May the 4th be with you” - this raver used the force in a unique way.


6. Make America Rave Again at Electric Zoo Festival

Another sign that channels this insane election


5. Girlfriend Revenge at Tomorrowland


Couples break up over many different things, this is a new explanation on why this guy is single.


4. I Eat Ass at EZOO

This is sign is self explainable…


3. BRUCE at Electric Forest

We always try to relive our childhood because we just don’t want to adult. This totem will definitely make you smile.


2. Dick Butt at EZOO


This was the most popular dude this labor day weekend


1. That Face at EZOO

When Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps made this grimace that has now gone viral, this totem has been the crown winner of crowd totems.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
