A Culture
“There has been a lot of change in the audience over the years. The level of acceptance and maturity [is a lot lower] than it was a decade ago.” (Interview-ash)
The culture focuses on free love and acceptance, audience participation, and a family-like community often compared to a cult.

The Virgin Dance
The Virgin dance is a sort of initiation ceremony.
This tradition is not practiced in Europe, low turnout prevented the practice from developing.
In North Carolina the virgin dance is...The Time Warp!
-It's a jump to the left, a step to the right, put your hands on your hips, bring your heels in tight, and do the pelvic thrust!
