@@livetoboardteam I’m not even going to lie when they started it was like neutral but from a few years back to now it’s just been leftist propaganda or bias to the right but this video is perfect
12:12 THAT'S ME ON STAGE!! WOO!! I'M ON VICE!!! Now, let me tell you something about the Rave: I am not a full-blown redneck, not even close. These people took me in, gave me a platform, and have been nothing -- NOTHING -- but kind to me. Not just Justin and the crew, but everyone who came. Me, in my hippie tie-dye, with my songs about mental health and life in general not pertaining to trucks, gets to fit in with a crowd I never thought I would. Just wanted to drop in and say that if you wanna fit in, come to a Redneck Rave. Much love, Bubba
Bubba Wiggles is the man! All the people and musicians I’ve met at the Rave’s I’ve been to, are always nothing but kind and always hanging out in the crowds with the fans.
My neck can't turn red, BUT MAN!, I would love to be a part of this community, see and have some fun... don't forget the leadership here is pretty on point when it comes to giving and having fun
11:15 he ain’t lying. One night we were broke down in the middle of nowhere Oklahoma then some rednecks stopped and helped us. He said “We got gas, we got oil…hell, we even have a spare engine in the back!” They were on their way to go harpoon fishing for catfish or something. Great guys!
Reading through these comments it was hard to understand what you-all meant by not biased. After watching it and reading a bunch more I realize you mean "not challenging or adversarial toward what I identify with or appreciate".
@@JadeoftheGlade I think what they mean is that for example when Vice did a report on defunding the police they only covered it from one side, so it may have seemed like propaganda to many people
here's a new idea for our mass media outlets... put positive messages out there by not using judgmental reporters. this Vice piece is so perspective neutral that you can actually bring people together that might have had preconceived notions about another 'group'. the spin is what is dividing us. thank you, erica. great way to approach something without your hackles up.
Victim harder. Dumb shits and assholes divide us. A happy video solves about as much as your asanine thoughts and prayers. Maybe the kumbaya circle pays off. Maybe.
Yeah, I'm glad they didn't try to go like "look at these violent right wingers", when they've literally shown similar hardcore and criminal partying of leftists and stuff. It's like a lot of people accept criminals if you're left wing, but if you're right wing then it's all bad
I give props to the Sheriff. You can hear it in his voice and yes, even though this is something he deems dangerous and unpleasant, he still does not despise it. He is just looking out for the well-being of his fellow company and community.
@Mark Hepworth that’s the demographic of that area it’s to be expected. Doesn’t make them bad people though. Actually most of these people seem pretty decent.
"they will punch you in your mouth when you do something wrong but also help you back up and give you a beer" love it!! Stay in your lane and be respectful!
You'd be 100% more than welcome at one here in GA. We're not what the Brandon Administration makes us out to be. They're the "backwards, racist, extremists".
Farm kids and country kids are always welcome to things like this. It’s the city people that are problems. Hope you’re voting for Mark Robinson for governor of North Carolina. Dude is on point
Exactly. We don't have the problems with "racism" out in my rural town that they have in the metro area and we have many different races here. Anyone would give you the shirt off their back. Funny how they call us the "backwards rednecks" when they're the ones plagued with racial violence every day.@@thankyougreen
She did an entire series for VICE called States of Unrest that was fantastic. Not nearly as uproarious as this but she demonstrated her ability to be an open ear for all.
@@pandora3224 I used to be proud of my southern heritage until Trump came around and showed me what it was really about. If you don't like being judged then be decent people.
I have gotten the chance to goto an enjoy events like this, and being asian, I am LITERALLY the only one there usually. Its always a blast, just enjoying off roading, racing, mud wrestling. It is also usually the most welcoming and supportive place you'll be. The only rules are respect is number one, and you do you.
It’s a weird idea for me being Middle Eastern born and raised in nyc … most ppl who I’ve grown up with think of racism and all the southern stereotypes wen we think of the Deep South … and my experiences driving from brooklyn to south Florida has had some negative and racist experiences … funnily enough mostly from police officers along the way lol
@@MoAli-wm4of Kinda understand, I'm from Texas, and now live in the north, but traveled all along the southern states, it was usually the small town police that gave me issues, but the people were fine. I think it has something to do with revenue. The small towns just don't have alot of traffic, so less outside revenue. There was a town that bought a tiny, like 1/4 mile of a highway next to them, and dropped the speed limit from like 65mph, to 40mph in their area. Thus getting lots of speeding tickets. I think it got stomped out by the state because that's entrapment to a degree. Or whatever reason it was
@@EvLSpectre Not sure how true it is but I read somewhere that speeding tickets make up most of the income for a lot of smaller police departments. Sounds like a tax on speeding at that point which is just scum baggery. I believe that facing adversity has something to do with how people treat others.
At first I was like "this is not a rave" , but when I saw how they have this big welcoming community and everyone is accepted, I realized that's what they mean by rave. Because in the normal rave community that's what it is. A place where everyone can feel accepted and just have a good time.
I'm Black born & raised in Los Angeles and this looks like straight fun...... A bunch of drunks partying enjoying themselves sounds like my kind of party
these are realest people you can meet in america if they like you they will tell you if they hate you they will show you for me i like hang out with a group of real face people
Bro if you came out and was a cool person with nothing but love for your fellow partiers you will have the best time and find out how much you got in common with us super lightskin brothers and sisters
I’m just a regular guy from Southern California… and watching how this journalist interviewed these people so openly and non judgmental was really insightful and educational. To see such a welcoming and accepting community was so uplifting in these tough times filled with so much hate, violence, and racism. What a positive event for their community!
I watched two fringes. This one and the other about some wellness retreat in Jordan. The guy that ran give off very culty vibes. This one, the guy that runs it seems like he actually wants the people that come to have a good time. One caters to rich people, the other poor people. hmm, I wonder what the difference is lol.
I was at this last year. What a blast.. I'm from Wisconsin and met alot of people from everywhere. But my fav people were locals Kentucky people such kindness and courtesy they show you. Good time don't listen to the bad. Anything can end up bad it's jus how you make your own decisions.
Yeah, the whole "redneck = racism" is BS, they're predominately white not because they're excluding people, but because whites are just more numerous in the US because of being settled by the homeland of whites - Europe. Nothing weird about that, and rural areas have more whites because bigger cities always used to attract more immigration and work opportunities, thus being more diverse because of that.
Thank you for not making us out to be a bunch of racist pricks, I’m really happy seeing vice cover these stories with no “hidden agenda” I really think this kind of media will help unite people that are extremely different.

Redneck Rave honestly looks like a damn good time! I think its awesome how the reporter covered the event without trying to push an agenda or judge anyone. She actively engaged with the partygoers and presented her report in an honest, understanding and unbiased light. It felt like watching the old Vice again. We need more journalists like this woman.
@@imnotsure343 I didn't really get that impression. Part of a journalist's job is to ask certain questions that might make people a little uncomfortable. I don't think she was trying to make anyone feel bad, just doing her job trying to cover the story.
What a brilliant video, best thing I have seen in ages. The reporter was fantastic, didn't go for the easy, cheap shot, open goal of misrepresenting these people and ridiculing them, she did a great job of showing what truly wonderful people there are in the US, who the snooty coastal elites who run the media love looking down on. I am going to try to get to one of these, what a party!
As a born & raised Texas girl, who’s been to plenty of muddin’ events (shout out “Mud Hustlers” and “Rednecks with Paychecks”! Lol), I appreciate the non-biased reporting on this. Yes, people break very expensive “toys”, you lose stuff (think new iPhone in mud😩), people get hurt (my sister’s nickname was “Flipper” for always flipping their ATV when she drove..her nickname was in letters upside down on the back of her shirt lol)…but, man oh man is it FUN!!! Lol Unless you’re a grown adult who’s spent a weekend camping out with friends and playing in mud, don’t knock it. 😂🎉❤
@Jason Jernigan In the interior of Florida, maybe. On the gulf coast, not so much. Really anywhere in Florida on the coast isn’t like that at all. We grow up in multi million dollar areas, then go to parties like this. I’ll take this over ga-LA Communistafornia and New York shitty.

this is so bad ass! been waiting for them to release this doc since last year when you announced they were covering the rave. your success is something that will go down in history, the way you bring people together and make lifelong memories is appreciated by so many people. i can't wait to hit the rave this year. life was tough last year and i didnt make it out, this year though, the Rave is priority #1 Thanks for what you've built Justin, truly is a game changer.
A couple of things: 1) Great reporting, really just documenting and investigating viewpoints without much agenda. And that's coming from someone who has never identified with this subculture. 2) Any group that promotes unity is good in my book, even if their politics can seem divisive (goes for all sides). Accept each other. 3) Redneck Rave looks lit af. Sign me up.
I mean the dude getting the tree thru his belly can literally happen at any trail. Has nothing to do with the rave being dangerous or not. Plenty of accidents happen at muddy rallies or just a family doing some mudding on their land.
Atvs, dirtbikes, and utvs are dangerous in general so that could have happened any time. Safety is extremely important and sadly it's not taken as seriously as it should be.
So true , you can be oh the trails with a couple of buddy's dirt biking and have a log of big stick impale you , I was lucky my cr250 radiator and bash plate on my boot saved me
@@YMH420s yeah because ripping along a narrow trail at 50kph isn’t dangerous ordinarily. Sure the drinking doesn’t help but everyone’s seen or heard stories of guys getting injured or killed riding ATVs. What a moron.
@@jamesbrousseau2159 Starbucks seems like it’d be a perfect fit for that dude(or female who knows these days). It leaves more fun for us folks that like to have a good time
Doesn't it bother you that those guys wave confederate flags, which is literally a pro-slavery flag? I mean I get the impression these guys don't actually understand what the flags means and think it just means "being a rebel" but is that an excuse? Good on Justin's DJ for being out there trying to educate them at least.
@@scoops2 you say “literally pro slave flag” that may be how you define it, but is it not clear that’s not how everybody defines it? Someone being offended from the outside doesn’t mean they have a clue, it just means they are offended. I’m not being combative here just saying.. I understand the anti-racism push, but the reality is, the people offended by the flag are holding far more prejudice and judgment than those who actually hold the flag…
I am a dark skinned Puerto Rican and often confused as black. A few years back my car died in middle of rush hour traffic and the only person that pulled over and helped me push was dude driving a truck flying a rebel flag. Can't always judge people so quickly.
Hey as long as nobody has the intention of hurting anyone it’s all good. And as long as the party is cleaned up afterwards to avoid polluting the environment.
@@FU7IM7CANADIAN couldn't agree more. The battle for intellect is losing. Its think of it like a herd with half being smart and the other not. The the ones that arent smart could live just as easily as the smart ones. So they thrive While the smart ones are left to basically fade away until we become the same. Its easier to be stupid these years. And its encouraging others to join. We are losing the war on intelligence of the common man
Tell you what, I could not wipe wait the smile off of my face the entire time I watched that... that's awesome of that dude Justin to bring so much joy
Amazing. 1. The report was about the party and the highlights are about how the journalism did her job, well done lady. 2. For the creator of the party, you found your purpose, creating an avenue for people to have fun. Salud🙏
Nicely done. I was a little nervous about how they were going to portray this event and Justin but to my surprise she did a great job of telling the story and showing people what the event is all about. Thank you.
"I was a little worried that they were actually going to do journalism and show them in a realistic light, warts and all, but instead they just coddled me and made sure that absolutely nothing they said hurt my feelings. Yay!!"
Damn, I teared up a couple times during this. Come on people!!! Quit judging each other and get along!!! Good job Vice! I was skeptical but this was unbiased journalism.
You can't have an event like that without accidents. That many ppl, that many drugs and alcohol, there will always be something. It's just the nature of it, doesn't mean you ban it!
@@mtvclipz4778 Well you are free to intemperate these comments how you like. It doesn’t mean your right. It’s great we have free speech and are able to discuss it though.
I'm in a background shot of this documentary and all I have to say is The Redneck Rave is one of the most inclusive social events of the year. Bruh, we don't care if you're White, Black, Asian, or Malaysian. We just want to pound shots, ride wheelies, and get more baked than a potato. We work our asses off year round and The Rave is our time to cut loose, enjoy some badass live music, and then drive machines we probably shouldn't. To quote the great American, Richard Bobby, "If you ain't first, you're last!" Also as someone who was in attendance, at 20:33 Where the Sheriff divulges all the citations written--his version of events is over embellished and vastly skewed. A couple people in attendance had outstanding warrants from non-violent offenses and the 75lb Marijuana bust was actually a little over 60lbs of CBD flower, CBD doritos, and CBD Chocolate bars. Local Law Enforcement actually robbed a CBD Vendor on his way to the Rave and basically confiscated $7,000 in snacks and then they openly bragged about it on social media in attempt to grab some press.
She did an awesome job hosting the show! I love Vice, but sometimes the awkward anti-social interviewing style of many of the hosts gets old. She did great job connecting with people in what is obviously a strange situation for anyone to find themself in. Nicely done!
Wow, that looks awesome. If I wasn't on a different continent I'd definitely go 💖 Oh, and Vice you guys rock for allowing your reporters to drink on the job 🥃🍾 Much love and best wishes from South Africa 😘
Erica is one of the best journalists/hosts/interviewers you all have. She's unafraid, unbiased, smart, and tough. She's got a great sense of humor too.
Given the "Fringes" label, I did not expect to see what I did with this piece--a rare piece of balanced coverage. I was pleasantly surprised. Keep on this path Vice, it might contribute to saving us from ourselves.
Vice, this was definitely some of the better content I've seen in years. Really eye opening to see something like this from an inside perspective, with outside nuance. Well done.
FINALLY another non-biased report - I thought Zeke did a great job on the one I was in but hadn't seen much goodness from Vice since then. You did a good job on this one - kudos.
This is a more open report, certainly quality, but the idea that anything conducted by people is without bias is just a fantasy. This isn't a good or bad situation, but to seek out something that doesn't exist in such is futile, the reporter wouldn't have covered a story if there wasn't entertainment value for instance. Already that ensures the viewer doesn't get a full picture made for them at the cost of missing all details, interviewing individuals still gets a subjective perspective, albeit closer to the truth.
This is awesome and not new. Back in early nineties I had some country friends that loved Mud Bogs, Chewing tobacco, Deer hunting, and Bocephus. They also loved to slam exctasy tabs and tear it up line dancing the Electric Slide and such at the local bar. I witnessed it a few times and these guys had the hottest women and wore loud colorful shirts, snakeskin boots, and cowboy hats. They had the best times and were very Fun to be around. I miss those dudes🙏🏽💙🌻
I'm curious how she was still standing at the end! You've gotta think they couldn't have shown everything she drank throughout the day. So much has to be cut for time but she pulled it off no problem.
@@christophermiller3031 I know you’re not soo smart but I’m gonna explain it very simple for you. After the tiktok memes and stuff about aliens thousands of ppl went to Area 51 just for jokes and didn’t even enter
I really felt pretty disgusted with that sheriffs’ attitude about seizing the marijuana. Yeah, that guy’s life is probably pretty screwed now. Lost a LOT of money, has a felony drug dealing on his record, will play hell trying to get work…that’s not something to be happy about. Just legalize it, already. It speaks volumes that he got such a kick out of it. And it exposes him as being the cliché it sounded like he was trying to avoid showing.
What's funny is it got dropped to something like 3 pounds and even that wasn't true it was a cbd vendor that was at the rave and they confiscated all his cbd edibles
Try living in Sweden. Most backwards attitude to weed and drugs in general anywhere in Europe. It's politically driven, really frustrating and frankly embarrassing.
See folks. This is what happens when you get a non biased reporter who isn't there to racebait or talk about identity politics. You get one hell of a good video Keep it up

@@JadeoftheGlade Exactly. It's the job of journalists to question and offer push back to issues and not just allow people to spew whatever.
here's a new idea for our mass media outlets... put positive messages out there by not using judgmental reporters. this Vice piece is so perspective neutral that you can actually bring people together that might have had preconceived notions about another 'group'. the spin is what is dividing us. thank you, erica. great way to approach something without your hackles up.

Yeah, I'm glad they didn't try to go like "look at these violent right wingers", when they've literally shown similar hardcore and criminal partying of leftists and stuff. It's like a lot of people accept criminals if you're left wing, but if you're right wing then it's all bad

I have gotten the chance to goto an enjoy events like this, and being asian, I am LITERALLY the only one there usually. Its always a blast, just enjoying off roading, racing, mud wrestling. It is also usually the most welcoming and supportive place you'll be. The only rules are respect is number one, and you do you.
It’s a weird idea for me being Middle Eastern born and raised in nyc … most ppl who I’ve grown up with think of racism and all the southern stereotypes wen we think of the Deep South … and my experiences driving from brooklyn to south Florida has had some negative and racist experiences … funnily enough mostly from police officers along the way lol
@@MoAli-wm4of Kinda understand, I'm from Texas, and now live in the north, but traveled all along the southern states, it was usually the small town police that gave me issues, but the people were fine. I think it has something to do with revenue. The small towns just don't have alot of traffic, so less outside revenue. There was a town that bought a tiny, like 1/4 mile of a highway next to them, and dropped the speed limit from like 65mph, to 40mph in their area. Thus getting lots of speeding tickets. I think it got stomped out by the state because that's entrapment to a degree. Or whatever reason it was
@@EvLSpectre Not sure how true it is but I read somewhere that speeding tickets make up most of the income for a lot of smaller police departments. Sounds like a tax on speeding at that point which is just scum baggery.
I believe that facing adversity has something to do with how people treat others.
At first I was like "this is not a rave" , but when I saw how they have this big welcoming community and everyone is accepted, I realized that's what they mean by rave. Because in the normal rave community that's what it is. A place where everyone can feel accepted and just have a good time.

How do you get tickets?
We just went there and bought them. Blue Hollar off-road park Kentucky.
Thanks for pointing out the kindness and courtesy of the locals and people in Kentucky. I have been talking about that since day 1
Yeah, the whole "redneck = racism" is BS, they're predominately white not because they're excluding people, but because whites are just more numerous in the US because of being settled by the homeland of whites - Europe. Nothing weird about that, and rural areas have more whites because bigger cities always used to attract more immigration and work opportunities, thus being more diverse because of that.
Are there any cute white boys there, you know dudes 4 dudes 😎 kinda action?

She actively engaged with the partygoers and presented her report in an honest, understanding and unbiased light. It felt like watching the old Vice again. We need more journalists like this woman.
She definitely wanted them to feel bad that the event was primarily white, and didn't hate whites.
@@imnotsure343 I didn't really get that impression. Part of a journalist's job is to ask certain questions that might make people a little uncomfortable. I don't think she was trying to make anyone feel bad, just doing her job trying to cover the story.
What a brilliant video, best thing I have seen in ages. The reporter was fantastic, didn't go for the easy, cheap shot, open goal of misrepresenting these people and ridiculing them, she did a great job of showing what truly wonderful people there are in the US, who the snooty coastal elites who run the media love looking down on.

I mean the dude getting the tree thru his belly can literally happen at any trail. Has nothing to do with the rave being dangerous or not. Plenty of accidents happen at muddy rallies or just a family doing some mudding on their land.

I'm in a background shot of this documentary and all I have to say is The Redneck Rave is one of the most inclusive social events of the year. Bruh, we don't care if you're White, Black, Asian, or Malaysian. We just want to pound shots, ride wheelies, and get more baked than a potato. We work our asses off year round and The Rave is our time to cut loose, enjoy some badass live music, and then drive machines we probably shouldn't. To quote the great American, Richard Bobby, "If you ain't first, you're last!"
Also as someone who was in attendance, at 20:33 Where the Sheriff divulges all the citations written--his version of events is over embellished and vastly skewed. A couple people in attendance had outstanding warrants from non-violent offenses and the 75lb Marijuana bust was actually a little over 60lbs of CBD flower, CBD doritos, and CBD Chocolate bars. Local Law Enforcement actually robbed a CBD Vendor on his way to the Rave and basically confiscated $7,000 in snacks and then they openly bragged about it on social media in attempt to grab some press.
Weed Doritos?

FINALLY another non-biased report - I thought Zeke did a great job on the one I was in but hadn't seen much goodness from Vice since then. You did a good job on this one - kudos.
The news reports were pretty harsh, compared to other raves this could be considered tame in terms of danger.
This is a more open report, certainly quality, but the idea that anything conducted by people is without bias is just a fantasy. This isn't a good or bad situation, but to seek out something that doesn't exist in such is futile, the reporter wouldn't have covered a story if there wasn't entertainment value for instance. Already that ensures the viewer doesn't get a full picture made for them at the cost of missing all details, interviewing individuals still gets a subjective perspective, albeit closer to the truth.
Ms Matson did a great job of presenting an unbiased view. I sometimes have to roll my eyes at Vice but this was excellent.
This is awesome and not new. Back in early nineties I had some country friends that loved Mud Bogs, Chewing tobacco, Deer hunting, and Bocephus. They also loved to slam exctasy tabs and tear it up line dancing the Electric Slide and such at the local bar. I witnessed it a few times and these guys had the hottest women and wore loud colorful shirts, snakeskin boots, and cowboy hats. They had the best times and were very Fun to be around.
