[dropcap]R[/dropcap]ave culture has exploded and EDM is everywhere these days, so it’s been getting harder and harder to tell the good parties from the bad. But promotional tactics and promises have gotten to out of hand recently, it’s now hard to tell the real parties from the fakes. From Dragon Ball Z themes to bouncy castles to 10 straight hours of nothing but AVICII, shit is getting ridiculous.
We took to Facebook and found five upcoming events in our news feeds that blur the lines between actual parties and clever parodies. Can you tell which of the following events actually exist? We pulled their main details and flyers, and copied a snippet of each event’s description; we strongly suggest clicking on each link to get the full effect — especially if you’re not exactly sure what’s up. #PLUR
