Ten Best Totems At Electronic Music Festivals
Electric Forest Media

Admit it, we all love seeing the different totems at festivals. They have the limitless potential to be extremely big, funny, genius, and sometimes even a little inappropriate. People put endless hours of work into creating intricate totems that come in all shapes and sizes. Totems are an instrumental part of the EDM Culture we all know and love. Its sad to say that the summer is almost over which means festival season is swiftly coming to an end. In honor of another whirlwind festival season, we've assembled a list of the best totems this year, from Ultra, to EDC Vegas, right here in NYC at Electric Zoo. Here are the Top Ten Best Totems of Summer 2016.


10. We're Home at EDC Vegas

The new Star Wars movie had everyone running off the the cinema, so it only seems a matter of time before someone will make a totem out of it. Returning to a festival that you’ve already been too is a liberating feeling, this sign says it all.


9. The Steve at EDC Vegas

Your mind can play tricks on you, especially when you’re at a music festival. We are all a fan of Steve Buscemi, so seeing him peeking out above the crowd is a welcome site.


8. F*ck Trump at Ultra Music Festival Miami


May 4th is universally considered Star Wars day - “May the 4th be with you” - this raver used the force in a unique way.


6. Make America Rave Again at Electric Zoo Festival

Another sign that channels this insane election


5. Girlfriend Revenge at Tomorrowland


Couples break up over many different things, this is a new explanation on why this guy is single.


4. I Eat Ass at EZOO

This is sign is self explainable…


3. BRUCE at Electric Forest

We always try to relive our childhood because we just don’t want to adult. This totem will definitely make you smile.


2. Dick Butt at EZOO


This was the most popular dude this labor day weekend


1. That Face at EZOO

When Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps made this grimace that has now gone viral, this totem has been the crown winner of crowd totems.

To The Girls With "Daddy Issues," You Are Worthy Of The Love He Never Gave You

You are not alone.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Why Blair Waldorf Is The Realest Bitch To Ever Live

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!
