How Ravers Party the Vote at Movement Electronic Music Festival 2024
Movement Electronic Music Festival has been around so long it’s seen Bush (W.), Obama, Trump, and Biden all hold terms in office, which means the artists and attendees have lived (and partied) through 5 presidential elections. This year was one of those times again when nearly 100K+ ravers and rave-inducers headed to Hart Plaza in Detroit – a city that has helped decide electoral outcomes – did whatever they could to forget about that. Well, not to be fun ruiners but we went out and asked festival goers, DJs, and rappers, what, or who, are they voting for. Here’s what they said*:
Fatima Hajji not only prefers her sets at the underground stage but fears all choices will be underground before their term is over.
They say that, ain’t no party like a Detroit party ’cause a Detroit party don’t stop (Movement, plus the many after-hours, can last a total of 96 hours straight which was coincidentally the last time we saw a perfect fit in a presidential party – because Bill smoke that weed and play that sax). Remember you can’t spell Movement without V-O-T-E…. And you also can’t spell Movement without V-E-T-O!
