Recently, deadmau5 has not been his usual self. Of course he's always been openly opinionated about certain aspects of society and the music industry, but over the past few weeks he's been lashing out more than ever.
10 Classic rave accessories we probably should forget
There are many strange and rather exotic and even weirdest inventions exist in the world. The classic raver look has gotten a facelift since the 90′s, but some things haven’t changed at all. Unfortunately!
Check out these 10 favorite rave-classic accessories from then to now. Including a cameo by a very young deadmau5…
10. Neon Hair Extensions
Before it was all about showing bottom ass-cheeks and maximum boobs/torso, no girl raver outfit was complete without technicolor hair extensions. Those were simpler times.
9. & 8. Giant Pants & Sideways Visor
This chick nailed 2 epic looks in one photo, namely the JNCO’s and sideways visor. Back in the 90′s it was important you be able to smuggle a minimum of 4 small children in your pant legs to the party.
7. Furry Boots
We’re glad to see these haven’t faded away, they’re just practical. You need to keep your calves warm and looking super fresh to keep your ass bouncing off the walls until 7 am.
6. Sunglasses
Wearing your sunglasses as night is definitely a totally normal thing to do and in no way indicative of any illegal substance consumption. “My eyes are always this dilated, duh.”
5. Light Gloves
Promoters have had to go so far these days as to ban light gloves because of the cuddle puddles that inevitably form on the dancefloor once the kids start to poop out – it’s a fire hazard and it’s fucking annoying, unless of course you’re the one on the floor having your mind blown.
4. Stuffed Animal Backpack
In case you’ve never seen this gem before, that's a young Deadmau5!! If thought this guy didn’t have any roots in the scene, you were deadwr0ng.
3. The Furry Hat
Another timeless classic that has survived into the modern-day dance dance era, the furry hat is both adorable and functional to keep you warm or act as a sweat rag. Do us all a favor and take that thing to the dry-cleaner’s between shows, will you? Please?
2. Pacifier
If you want to lose all credibility as a human being, by all means put a pacifier in your mouth and walk around in public. But back in the 90′s this was some cutting edge shit, these kids are rocking it and it was totally cool and not at all creepy. Let’s all promise each other right now to leave this one in the past – pinky swear.
1. Kandi
Whether it’s kandi or candy it’s the same sea of bracelets used a token of friendship in this world for the last 20 years at least. Swapping with other partygoers at shows is actually a pretty amazing way to collect a souvenir from every show, this year at the Cosmopolitan in Vegas the hotel staff was trading kandi with EDC attendees at check-in. The underground may be gone, but this is one little way to keep the spirit alive.
