As another commenter said, they’re called sprouts, but they’re just a part of music festival culture. You trade em, give em out, etc. just a fun little thing to start conversations and whatnot

It's rave shit. Stands for peace love unity respect. Like the little bracelets they trade and stuff.

u/Sp4mDestroyer 5h ago
My buddy took me to a rave and gave me a bunch of bracelets to trade and basically showed me how it works, except it was peace, love, unity. You end up chatting with someone you think is chill, you make the peace sign with your hands and touch it together (peace), make half of a heart shape and create a whole one together (love), then lock your palms together by intertwining your fingers (unity), and then you keep it locked while you slide each other's bracelets to the other person. Granted I only went to one rave 6-7 years ago, but I've never heard of respect nor have I ever seen someone do anything for it. I wonder what the gesture is.
For my first time I had a blast, and I loved how everyone was chill and friendly. Pretty interesting culture. Then again, I went to one in Korea and never been to one in the US where I hear it's ruined by all the rich kids and everyone just wants to get drugged and fuck each other lol.

I’ve been going to raves for over 15 years. It’s always been PLUR with the respect for the entire time I’ve been.
During the handshake, unity is your hands flat against each other then respect is intertwining the hands to trade kandi.

In my experience cops are like everyone else.. some are nice.. some are assholes. Now if you get pulled over by the nice ones just cooperate and try to get everything over quickly before the assholes show up. Chances are there is a bored motherfuckr that just wants to get in on whatever is going on. That is when you have to explain how the large hooka in your trunk is just a pottery project.

Music fest cops are usually chill because it's typically an incentive for them to work the event, that's at least how it was with the cops at Electric Forest. The ones we talked to there were just as excited to be there as some of the regular fest goers.

u/Luci-Noir 21m ago
My stepdad was a cop and when we’d be in the mall people were constantly stopping and talking to him. He’d do security in the arcade on fridays and it was the same.
I went with them on career day as a senior and it was just them talking to people, nothing crazy, no mistreatment. It seemed like a pretty good job but over the past few years it’s become cool to shit on them so a lot have quit.

It varies by state. Just watch how an Idaho cop handles a vulnerable youth getting caught with a half gram of meth, vs an Oregon one. Sometimes the good cops get pushed out by the other bad ones, too.

Idk, working in EMS has shown me how shitty cops are on average, at least where I live.
If you're some white girl at a festival where the cops are getting incentive pay, I'm sure they're fine.
When you see these same kinda dudes show up to an overdose in a low income neighborhood, you'd be disgusted and horrified at how they act and the shit they say to each other when they think nobody is looking.

Yeah except everyone else doesn't have the legal authority to take your life cause they felt like it. So it's actually really bad for cops to be like "everyone else". Standards should be much, much higher.

Even power-trip-riddled cops, if you get pulled over, just be nice and listen; they typically calm themselves down. Or, at the very least, you will get little to no energy from them. Even if they are 100% wrong, arguing will only make it worse.

In my experience cops are like everyone else..
Except with a statistically significant higher rate of domestic violence/abuse (as well as substance abuse).
Yes i can empathize with the traumas they deal with on a regular basis but that ends when they, as a person of authority and power, abuse someone.

They also have supervisors who review their bodycams and will ask them the hard questions. People should watch a few bodycam videos, most cops go through things per procedure. They know their boss and maybe a million other people will watch their video. What people used to claim were cops beating them up were usually cops trying to get them in handcuffs. It's is amazing how the fight goes out of people once their hands are cuffed. They still resist but with hands cuffed you are at a severe disadvantage. Also, the cops aren't cops usually because they want to fight. Most people I know who have actually been in fights, myself included, have injuries from fighting (I had finger broken and never bends quite the same, and a shoulder dislocation that recurred a lot afterwards) and only want to get their job done and go home. They also know that a lot of people just automatically hate them through no fault of their own. I was a nurse, well respected and thought helpful, just because people knew I was a nurse, kind of undeserved praise, while cops may have undeserved scorn.

Festival cops tend to be pretty chill ime. I've gone up to them while very obviously tripping balls and asked them where to find water. They were so kind and pointed me in the right direction and made sure I knew exactly where to go. I've only seen them not be chill when it comes to people dealing more dangerous stuff like Ketamine or Heroin at festivals.
2
u/musicaleffervescence 1h ago
for SURE. every festival cop ive seen is usually decked out in sprouts and kandi. majority of festivals hire the right cops that are trained in the correct deescalation measures. bonnaroo used to have horse cops and it was on the bingo card every year to pet a horse cop while tripping 😂😂😂.
the festivals in canada ive been to i can literally do bumps in the open. its amazing what decriminalization, hard reduction, and education can do. also really love that so many festivals have safe spaces and grounding zones. sober staff that are truly there to help and talk you through anything. always also have sunscreen, electrolytes, candy, feminine hygiene products. its really come a long way

u/Russell1113 49m ago
Is ketamine particularly dangerous? I've only done it the once. I know it has very bad long term effects on stuff like your bladder and is crazy addictive. Is it also easy to OD on? (I have lots of friends who do a LOT of k, so it's always just, been around, when we go fests)
2
u/bunnyfloofington 43m ago
I think it's the addictive quality that is the real danger to ketamine. Like people don't tend to become nearly as addicted to substances like weed or psychedelics. Plus you can still OD on ketamine whereas idk anyone who has OD'ed on weed or psychadelics.
1
u/Russell1113 39m ago

It’s because of the small amount you need to OD. Last festival I was at years ago 8 people died because someone was selling Ketamine as Molly and the dosage on those are very different.

Especially USSR cops /s
BTW communism will never work bc of human nature, some humans are psycho and corrupt. Bad people will always exist.
Without law enforcement, society breaks down into a caveman free for all. Lawlessness leads to those bad people abusing others, and taking power for themselves - often in mafia, gangster-like authoritarian fascist dictatorships.
The USSR, Cuba, China, etc turned into Communist dictatorships bc human nature. The best we can do is promote democracy and freedom and tolerance (and love most of all), and work together for each other while supporting the poor, the homeless, and yes the workers and their sacred rights. Unions, charities, groups. Stuff like Habitat for Humanity where people come together to build houses. I think that is wonderful and very social and loving in support of the less privileged classes who deserve respect.

Or are in a better off area of the US. Usually poorer and higher crime areas have worse funding despite police being more busy. Leads to worse candidates going for those positions, less community policing, more burnout and distrust of their community. Whereas police in richer better funded areas are generally a lot more chill.

In my case they didn't shoot my dog, nor my mom who ran out screaming at him "don't shoot him" (we are white euro-decended americans). If you want to see a common situation where cops show up unwanted and slaughter dogs cause they "feel scared" here's one. https://youtu.be/aIW19QoiXbM?t=369

u/MinnieShoof 7h ago
So, you had a burglar alarm. Meaning you were legitimately fearful of thieves. And you tripped it. And the police responded. ... and you were surprised they were leery? And it isn't good enough that they did you nothing wrong ... you need to share your story so that you can share someone else's story of a time they did something sketchy and disobeyed instruction and a loved one got hurt?
-5
u/TimidDeer23 7h ago
Me and my family didn't break the law. My mother explained to the cop who were were. The police almost shot our dog. I very much doubt my parents would have installed a burgler alarm if they knew that a false positive meant the family (INCLUDING THE DOG) would get shot at.
5
u/MinnieShoof 7h ago
You didn't break the law and nothing bad happened to you. You had a burglar alarm get tripped and it was all hand-waved away by someone explaining. I bet if the alarm had gone off and it was a thief and the police didn't show up, or if they showed up and let the thief get away because they 'explained who they were' you'd be complaining that, instead of not having chill, the police were too chill/lackadaisical.
All so you can say that cops are not generally chill.

What is your point? If you are trying to say that police are on edge and guarded and have lethal force options? Sure. Are you trying to say that some times you can explain your situation to the police? Sure. Are you saying that the made up police in your head have no chill? I guess they don't. They should probably stay in your head.
