Enforcer
on April 8, 2022 190 views
Over a single weekend in the Summer of 2021, the local population of Edmonson County, Kentucky was doubled by droves of "rednecks" descending on the area to celebrate five days of mud, music, & mayhem. They came for an event called "The Redneck Rave" - a music festival put on by country rapper, Justin Time, who bills it as the "biggest country party you'll ever go to." What festival goers didn't sign up for, however, was the absolute chaos that would ensue.
The Redneck Rave made international news for a throat slashing, log impalement, strangulation, amputated finger, and a slew of petty arrests & hospitalizations. Local law enforcement was completely overwhelmed, claiming festival organizers did little to coordinate with them, other than letting emergency responders onto the premises. In the wake of the media frenzy, Justin Time promises to redeem the Redneck Rave, offering family fun at their following Fall event.
In this episode of "Fringes", VICE's Erica Matson puts on her mud boots to attend the Fall Redneck Rave, exploring modern "Redneck Culture" to find out whether it's as innocent, safe, & wholesome as promised.
