An “EDM” chick loves everything dance music related. She may be a little wild, but it’s all in good fun. Check out this list of 11 reasons to date an “EDM” chick and grab that girl with the face gems and tutu.
1. We Are Passionate
Be prepared to listen to and/or talk about electronic music 24/7 or GTFO. Also, changing the song is basically a death wish. You call it obsessed, we call it dedicated. And no, I’m not going to stop talking about Diplo anytime soon.
2. Stamina
Time to get sexual. We rave, therefore we have mad endurance. Do you know how much cardio you get in at a three day festival? Google it.
3. Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
Why do we attend two shows per weekend? Because we’re obsessed with having fun. Do you like fun? Great! We’ll be very happy together.
4. Head Rubs
You will receive infinite head rubs. You’re welcome in advance.
5. You’ll Get Jacked Thighs
Please squat and place me on your shoulders so I can have a better view of the show. Thank you and you’re welcome in advance.
6. We Aren’t Afraid to Be Ourselves
We will wear bizarre outfits. We will dance literally like no one is watching.
7. We Get Shit Done
Oh, what’s that you say? Early Bird tickets go on sale Wednesday at 11? You know where I’ll be at 10:59…on three different laptops.
8. Cut Lines or Get VIP
I’m not saying that we use our…assets… to our advantage, but typically females have a much better chance of skipping long entry lines and getting VIP access.
9. We’re Family Oriented
Rave Family: a group of people very special to you that you also happen to love to party with.
10. You Can Put Your Stuff In Our Purse
We’ll hold your keys and wallet if you abide by #5 🙂
11. Rave Booty

Jane, that sounds billions times smarter than the article above (which I read bc a friend posted it on fb). Sadly, many edm/raver/whatever girls I’ve met aren’t like you – guess Ive been unlucky or were looking in the wrong places, probably both. But thanks for writing that, helps re-sparking my faith in my generation.
This article is depressing, and a lil disclaimer at the end (” i’m not totally serious i just wanna have fun”) is not doing anything to help. So here are 11 reasons to date an EDM PERSON that are not objectifying:
1. He or she will introduce you to music you wouldn’t normally listen to and you’ll have the chance to broaden your musical tastes. You’ll stop calling it all techno REAL quick.
2. He/she doesn’t mind that you’re broke, she’s spent all her money on concert tickets also, so your dates will be cheap or free.
3. He or she is pretty good at navigating a crowd, you’re not gonna get lost as long as he’s with you. If you want to be up front, he’ll help you get there and make sure you don’t get pushed or too jostled.
4. She or he will not let you listen to youtube quality tracks through walgreens earbuds (LIFE IS TOO SHORT FOR POOR SOUND QUALITY) (Maybe this one is just me?)
5. Free shows sometimes. She or he probably knows a few djs that will let you in because they’re friends with her, (not because “assets,” seriously screw that, raver girls are not objects) And he or she definitely knows how to lick&stick an entry stamp lol. See #2.
6. He or she is probably pretty fun at parties, he’s been to a lot of them (usually afterparties) and knows how to make sure everyone is having a good time and being safe without playing grampa. He might know some cool tricks too (poi, gloving, orbits etc) which are pretty sweet to watch and play with.
7. He or she is fucking respectful. Ok, there are a lot of folks out there that I see at concerts who could brush up on their PLUR but for the most part, the EDM listeners tend to know what’s up. You go to a concert that’s packed, shoulder to shoulder, and still no one’s gonna try and grab your tits and if anyone stumbles, they’re helped back up by friends and strangers alike. He or she should know that when it comes to touch, permission and consent is the most important thing ever.
8. He or she is lookin out for you. At all concerts (not just EDM you guys) some people have a tendency to go a bit too hard and sometimes need a little taking care of. She knows who is fine, who needs water, who needs a friend to lean on, and who needs a ride home. She takes care of her friends.
9. Conversely, he or she is looking out for himself/herself. He’s gone to a festival and lost his whole group in the crowd, with a dead phone battery, and no cash, and been totally fine. He knows his body and brain and limits and is resourceful and probably has a lot lifehacks for what to do when things don’t go as planned. He can take care of him so you can take care of you and you guys can just have awesome times together instead of being worried.
10. I have never met a more passionate group than the electronic listeners. When he or she is talking about the songs and artists and albums she loves, her eyes will light up, she’ll get really stoked and animated, and IMO that’s one of the cutest things ever. 🙂 all people get about 5000 times more attractive when they’re doing/talking about the things they love and we LOVE THE MUSIC so fucking much.
11. Which leads me to this one: you don’t have to love her more than you love your music, weather that’s EDM as well, or rock, metal, hip hop, it really doesn’t matter. We get it, I promise. I’m pretty sure there is no love more intense and powerful than the love of music and that’s 100% okay by me. It’s as it should be.
Hey so I know I wrote a novel, but I couldn’t just leave it at that article when there’s so many better reasons. Haha lemme know if I missed anything.
Only adding, in agreement, with subzero, that it is possibly the “Pareto principle” in action. Look for the 20 and realize the 80 only serve to distract! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_principle
Haters gonna hate! Make your lives easier by doing yourselves a favor and stop taking this post so seriously ???? cool? Cool 🙂
In 1993*
Old school raver, raves became all about getting high. So tell me why you’re getting so offended.
Things change. Get tf over it. This is considered a rave now. Pasquale founded insomniac because he wanted to bring back the vibe. Go watch his documentary or go watch Under The Electric Sky. The movie that came out this year. Maybe then people will FINALLY get it through their heads.
This article should be called, “11 regrets I will have sitting at home SINGLE and 30… If I haven’t died yet that is…”
This article is beyond stupid even if it was meant to not be taken seriously. Also, these electronic festivals are NOT and I repeat are NOT REAL RAVES!!!! Standing in front of a DJ just fist pumping the majority of the time does not define it as a rave. Raves are underground parties that the DJ didn’t have to be on a fucking stage to play their music. Instead they were places right on the dance floor where EVERYONE would be dancing not fist pumping and standing. Also, you wouldn’t know where the raves were until the day of the event!! Tickets were not $200 to see someone push a play button on their laptop! Instead tickets were $25-$30 to see some bust out with vinyl and use their talent to create awesome music! And it never all sound the same…it was different! So stop calling these stupid ass festivals raves!
Am I the only one that finds it annoying when people assume everyone that raves is on drugs? Just Stop. We’re not all on drugs and we’re not all getting drunk. lmfao like rave haters say , take a joke 😉
1. You can call that passionate, I’ll call it annoying
2. Just like in sports, if you use illegal drugs to enhance your performance…not valid. That’s not stamina that’s a consistent .07g of molly in your system.
3. Sluts
4. I’ve never heard of anyone dating a girl for the head rubs she gives..you must have gotten pretty desperate for reasons.. I mean you only came up with 11
5. My thighs will get jacked from going to the gym not hoisting all 90lbs of you up on my shoulders
6. You dress up in these outfits to hide behind the act
7. At 10:59 on a Wednesday I’ve already eaten breakfast, gone to the gym, and gone to work..what the fuck are you doing with your life?
8. Sluts
9. You need rave families because youre a disgrace to your real family
10. All girls have purses, I have pockets, still not dating you
11. Squat butt > “rave booty” (not a real thing) any day of the week
U know many people WILL take this article seriously? Why? Because of how horrible it is…
“Why to date an EDM chick because SOME of us are whores and go there to show off our body and not really give a shit about the music” lol fail article
You are all so fucked.
Instead of this, why don’t you date that one girl that goes to the shows sober, decently covers her body but still looks great and is genuinely there just because she loves the music? People always count those girls out in exchange for the furry boots and blinged out bras.
Legit fans don’t call it EDM.
I think you got the reason descriptions wrong. Here are the real ones:
1. We are passionate (because we’re drunk & on drugs)
2. Stamina (because we’re on drugs)
3. Girls just wanna have fun (because we’re drunk & on drugs)
4. Head rubs (because we’re on drugs)
5. You’ll get jacked thighs (I’ve always wanted this but had no idea had to get them before this article)
6. We aren’t afraid to be ourselves (because we’re drunk & on drugs)
7. We get shit done (we will do whatever it takes to be drunk and on drugs)
8. Cut lines or get VIP (We’ve banged promoters while drunk and on drugs)
9. We’re family oriented (We like other people that are drunk & on drugs)
10. You can put stuff in our purse (I’m sure your parents are proud for this one)
11. Rave booty (We’re physically attractive despite being drunk & on drugs)
DRUM AND BASS
YALL DUMB ASSES !!!

this article has so much hate comments… because it deserves it lol. horrible, and many edm chicks are at big festivals to show off their bodies.
Yep… I agree 100% lmfao… This article is a joke… People who “think” they know electronic music are a joke… All the hate tho lmfao…/// Go back to listening SELFIE.
The negative comments are from people that either lost there serotonin or just hate on people that enjoy themselves
Yikes.
This article seems to have backfired.
i hate edm chicks theyre all whores. this should be 11 reasons why to date a whore.
While this article is be not all ppl go to EDM festivals to do drugs and “seem cool”. I personally love the music and atmosphere and for me its an escape from the real world. Some of these comments are very ignorant.
Uhm, Diplo? LOL. And Didd I jsut see Krewella? Yeah, you sure have GREAT taste in electronic dance music. Haha, even Big Room House is a better genre than what Krewella and Diplo make IMO. this article is stupid, no offense author :p Tiesto 4 lyfeeeee
It’s never called Big Room House. It’s either Big room, festival shit or EDM. And you hate diplo? Then you must have not heard his first mixtape called Favelas on Blast, for his time in Brazil and all over the world curating beats from different cultures and making them danceful. You probably hate him because he’s too “mainstream” right? Yeh okay, he’s a guy out of no where who produced for R. Kelly. He also co-produced with Switch on M.I.A’s best album. He was always on the cutting edge, maybe now that everyone has access to the music he contines to make what he loves, even if people are like “meh I’m bored of this sound” Come on guys there’s only so man horns and pads out there to make a track
yo i know this article aint suppose to be taking seriously but girls just want to have fun and shit . but honestly , this shit is hella dumb .
Worst. Shit. Article. Ever. Like “Not Hardwell” said; this is absolutely shit and nothing related to EDM or girls who like EDM lol. Beside, going to EDC was a blast but; most of the girls there that I talked to knew nothing about electronic music (Yes they only listened to Martin Garrix and his shitty big room house)
This is ignorant, honestly. What’s up with people thinking they are “EDM” fans and shit. People go to big festivals now a days to think they’re “cool” and that they “went” to the festival. Stop. You think you know EDM, but you don’t. I bet some of ya’ll don’t even know what it stands for. Plus; this is complete bull shit, most of the girls at raves and festivals are nasty and just want to be there to show off their body. This is EXACTLY what this stupid article is about. “Why to date an EDM chick; because her body and not because she listens to EDM or anything related to that”
Are you kidding me? This is complete shit. This article is about the 5% of Ladies that attend. the other 95% are these nasty, used bruised and abused girls that look gross. The grouping of disgusting girls who are impulsive in their behavior frequent these festivals in search for happiness they can not find anywhere else.
Raves are a place for people to burn holes in their brain with Molly and have your stuff stolen.
yeah i agree with u, this is all complete shit but bro, raves are the shit. get cho rave on haha. but yeah, in all seriousness, this article = 100% dumb!
*their stuff stolen. I take it YOU have had YOUR stuff stolen at a rave at some point? GOTCHA
Is this your attempt to try and sounds relevant and important? The looting or stealing at any rave or show goes back decades. Because back then there was the bullshit PLUR atmosphere and there was always some weirdo in the back just waiting to take advantage and steal something. Nothings changed bruh
“A Person With Reason” LOL
This is the stupidest article I’ve ever read.
Kill yourself dumb whore
logical flaws everywhere, this is new, shit article
