Meet the Festival Five
Eyewear for every archetype in your rave crew.
Whether you're hugging the rail or trading Kandi in a sun-drenched forest, there's a raver type for every festival soul: and a pair of frames to match. Vooglam hits the scene at Electric Forest with a lineup designed to keep your style as sharp as your serotonin spike. From techno snobs to sparkle moms, we’ve ID’d five iconic rave personas and paired them with looks that go as hard as the bassline.
Rave Couple
They met in a sweaty warehouse and haven’t stopped holding hands since. The Rave Couple moves through the festival grounds like a twin flame amoeba: matching fits, matching pashminas, probably matching hydro packs too. They kiss during the drop. They kiss between sets. They kiss while you're trying to find your friends. One’s always slightly more into psytrance than the other, but isn’t love about compromise?
You’ll spot them dancing in sync under the strobes, like two NPCs glitching in harmony. Whether they’re sharing kandi or a pair of wraparound shades, one thing’s for sure: this union is as committed as their mutual Google Calendar for next year’s festival circuit.
Looks That Love Alike
Techno Elitist
You’ll know they’ve arrived when you hear the words “Berghain energy” unironically spoken in line for the portable toilets. The Techno Elitist wears all black, rarely smiles, and once explained to you why “house” isn’t a real genre. They came here for the music, which is why they’re 40 feet from the stage with arms crossed and a $900 modular synth tattoo.
They’re deeply suspicious of any BPM under 120 and consider eye contact a distraction from the purity of the experience. You won’t catch them in rhinestones or neon… unless it’s ironic. Their frames? Minimalist, severe, possibly architectural. You wouldn't understand.
For BPM Judging Eyes
Rave Mom
She’s not your mom, but she will fix your hydration, lend you tiger balm, and make sure your glitter isn’t smudged. The Rave Mom travels in a herd of chaotic little ravers she protects like ducklings. She knows the set times by heart and has enough phone battery to be everyone’s emergency contact.
Her outfit is part sparkle, part utility: think sequined tool belt energy. Her emotional support fanny pack contains snacks, extra electrolytes, rolling papers, and a tiny fan for post-drop decompression. She’ll cry during sunrise sets and tell you you’re worthy of love.
Her frames? Big, bold, and practical. She's here for a purpose, but also to have fun.
Motherly Dance Protection
The Basshead
You’ll feel the Basshead before you see them: as they’ve brought their own subwoofer backpack and it’s rattling your ribcage. They are front left, locked in, headbanging like it’s cardio. Their neck mobility is questionable. Their devotion is not.
Bassheads speak in drops and live for the rail. Their arms are permanently flailing, and their hoodie has the logo of a DJ no one else on the lineup knows. If you mention melody, they’ll look confused. They’re not here to dance. They’re here to ascend.
Their go-to frames are aggressive, angular, and built like they could survive a mosh pit; and probably already have.
Built for Bass Face
Kandi Kid
Walking embodiments of PLUR, the Kandi Kids are rainbow-drenched serotonin factories with armfuls of bead bracelets and hearts full of hugs. They float from stage to stage, trading handmade kandi like spiritual currency and dropping affirmations mid-dance like glitter bombs.
They believe every set is the best set. Their bag contains fruit snacks, stickers, and a totem made from a pool noodle. If you’re crying during a trance build, odds are a Kandi Kid will find you and gift you a bracelet that says “VIBE HEALER.”
Their frames? Bright, playful, and just a little ridiculous. The world needs more of whatever they’re on.
Candy-Coated Vision
Keep Raving On
These five festival types are just a glimpse into the endless spectrum of rave personalities. Whether you’re trading kandi, chasing bass, or just tagging along for the vibes, there’s a pair of Vooglam frames to match your festival alter ego. From bold to bizarre, our styles are as varied as your group chat.
So whoever you are this weekend: mom, menace, or minimalist; see the music through a lens that gets you.
