RAVESTAGRAM: A @GIRLSGONERAVE GUIDE TO ALL THE MUST-FOLLOW RAVE INSTAGRAMS

Written by @ravegirlsampagne, charts and data from @girlsgonerave

As the 2019 festival season begins, it’s time to saturate our Instagram feeds with PLUR (peace, love, unity, respect) vibes to gain inspiration from our favorite rave gurus. It’s no secret that rave influencers have a mammoth presence in the community, but what other accounts can you follow to make sure that festival fun always floods your feeds?

We’re here with some of our most seasoned rave veterans—the girls and models of @GirlsGoneRave (GGR)—to help you choose the perfect social media accounts to get hyped for this year’s festivities! These are the top brands, festivals, and artists that our women follow to stay in the loop.

TOP 10 OVERALL

While our overall top 10 list was dominated by seven rave apparel brands, event hosting behemoth, Insomniac, and its staple festival, EDC, snuck their way in alongside cult favorite artist, Excision. This perfectly encapsulates what our girls find most integral to the rave community…fashion, artists, and, of course, the festivals themselves.

TOP 10 RAVE FASHION PAGES

It’s not a surprise that rave fashion brands are at the top of our list. After all, these outfits build our self-esteem and showcase our creative juices. A staggering percent of over 60% of our 1076 GGR girls followed iHeartRaves (@iheartraves), proving its indisputable status as the go-to for all festival fashion, and with their recently released plus-size line, this juggernaut is looking anything but stoppable. 

TOP 10 RAVE ESSENTIALS

Now that you know where to find your dazzling outfits with money to spare, it’s time to scour accessories and makeup to add that extra special wow factor. From glitter to makeup and light toys, the top 10 list has it all, including Vibedration hydration and fanny packs as the top pick.

TOP 10 FESTIVALS

Of course, a cute look is useless if you have nowhere to show it off. It’d be ridiculous to look at the rave community without paying homage to the festivals themselves. Insomniac held the coveted third spot on our Top 10 Overall list and six of its raves with their combo of headbanging tunes and phenomenal production value have made their way onto our 10 most followed festivals. 

TOP 10 SHOUTOUT / MEME PAGES

When talking about the power of social media, the recent prevalence of rave-centric shout out and meme pages cannot go unnoticed. These pages allow the people they feature to create both parasocial and social relationships, further strengthening ties all across the rave community and allowing people to connect with one another in ways like never before. While shout out pages, like @girlravers and @edmbabes_, monopolized the first slots, meme pages, like @edmlifestyle, trailed closely behind.

TOP 10 ARTISTS

What would a music festival be without its headliners dropping beats? We’re rounding out our Top 10 lists with where it all began—the artists. Aside from rave fashion accounts, artists are the most followed rave Instagram category among our members. The girls who follow different DJs are privy to information about sets, new music releases, and even (sometimes) special surprises and giveaways!

Repost from @girlravers 💎 • @sunflowerraver “I took this video as I was heading to the porta potties hence why I am not in my spot!! I had to take a pee breaky since energy drinks just go right through my system😅 So video of me walking to the bathrooms to pee ENJOY I wanted to touch on a something that did stick out to me, after reading what others have been saying. This rave scene is meant to be welcoming to every type of person. Whatever you identify as, whatever size you are, whatever colour your skin is. It’s meant to be for everyone. No body should be shamed for how they look, or how they choose to enjoy an event. I do understand the frustration of inclusivity, as it’s something that is so important in the rave scene. There is more than one “type” of person who goes to events, and that needs to be advertised and shown more whether it’s with a brand, or a company asking people to promote a show. This whole thing is still a big work in progress for many, and we need to further that progress with them. I’m sorry for being part of the issue. I want to work on giving those who are part of this scene a louder voice, who represent all aspects of the edm scene. I can do that by tossing their name out when given opportunities, and I can do that by supporting them myself. It’s something that I already do a bit behind the scenes, but I understand that I can, and need to do more. I want you guys to really think back as to why you started going to shows, why you came into this scene. What made you feel at home here? What made you feel happy? For myself it was the love, the ability to continue doing something I loved with someone I lost, the chance to just feel free for once in my life. Take those feelings and extend them to others. Keep pushing this idea of PLUR across every aspect of the EDM scene. I came out of this weekend happy, and healthy. And I hope everyone that attended did as well. I hope you are all getting a test done, to be extra safe, or at least quarantining.” (at THICC) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFh0rjDF2iw/?igshid=1b57xzlxjum7g
