5) Kandi Raver
While this might have been overdone outside of the holiday already—this one is easy. Simply buy as many plastic pony beads as you can afford and make as many bracelets as possible. These should be elaborate designs or complex, massive three-dimensional pieces with children’s toys attached to them. Most importantly, have friends make you unique pieces that have your kandi raver name on them, this serves as a unique identifier when talking to other ravers. Or, even better, trade with people that you bond with, either over your cigarette break or if you get into a deep conversation about the intricate differences of dubstep versus complextro. Complete the look with a backpack that resembles a stuffed animal.
4) One of the Nervo Sisters
If you feel more of a connection to the DJs than to the people in the EDM scene, your best bet is to pose as one of the girls from Nervo this Halloween. Even if you have dark hair—never fear—just wear a platinum blonde wig (the shaved Mohawk style is typically more identifiable) and the weirdest, most feminine piece of clothing you can find in the men’s section at H&M. Accompany with ripped leather jeans, chunky necklaces, and combat books. Complete the look with badass headphones blasting electro house.
3) Off-the-clock Go Go Dancer
Similar to the Kandi Raver, the Go Go dancer look is easy to achieve depending on how you choose to wear it. Real Go Go dancers often wear close to nothing, so your costume must be up to par. Importantly, you must wear a tutu or ruffled booty shorts. Ditch the chunky dancing boots for comfy sneakers and fluffies. Depending on your level of comfort, on top you can wear a bathing suit top, an embellished bra, or even nothing at all if you’re as daring as some girls. Complete the look with over the top makeup, glitter all over your body and neon fishnets.
2) Sofi and her Ladder
On the more entertaining side of costumes, you can choose to resemble deadmau5 singer SOFI, accompanied by none other than the ladder she so desperately needs. Based off of mau5’s most recent tour dress like Sofi by wearing a black leotard with a hood (don’t ask us where to get one of those), sparkly silver hot pants, leather gloves and heeled combat boots. If possible, find a small ladder that isn’t too cumbersome to carry around at parties and respond: “yes, I got it”, when people ask if you need a ladder. Complete the look with a mau5head drawn in sharpie on your forearm.
1) #1 Avicii Fan
Anything and everything you wear must be neon, cropped, and from Forever 21. Also acceptable: “Missing: Have You Seen Molly?” shirts.. The more obnoxious you are to look at, the better. Spandex shorts are to be accompanied by Converse or neon Nikes. Accessories are vital in this outfit to get the full effect, like a neon pink trucker hat with the words “Rage” “Dubstep” or “Swag” or something of the likes on it. Wear as many glowstick bracelets as you can fit on your arm and sunglasses with no lenses. Complete the look with your $95 DJ Avicii ticket to a seated stadium show and a pacifier to show your friends how “into the scene” you are. Update Facebook with you location every 30 minutes.
