For those who weren’t able to make it out to Met Life Stadium, here’s a list of the sights and sounds that only an electronic dance music festival can provide:

1. Bed bug bite marks proudly on display on extremely well-toned shoulders and backs.

2. Chest tattoos that consist solely of the word “Family,” albeit in a variety of fonts.

3. White males with Tupac’s “THUG LIFE” tattoo re-imagined on their own stomachs. (Really.)

4. Women wearing sunglasses with the words “BASS WHORE” painted on the lenses.

5. Half-naked young men giving each other high-fives over and over and over again.

6. People who stop dancing rabidly to use some Halls and/or Vicks products.

7. Related: Grown women and men with pacifiers in their mouths.

8. Tens of thousands of people jumping at the very same time.

9. Paris Hilton, being appreciated. (Hilton is dating Afrojack, and though she wasn’t at EDC New York, she often makes an appearance at one of his sets, generally to the great pleasure of the audience.)

10. Happy people, dancing happily without a hint of cynicism.
