Hardstyle made me do it
A little lie to get out of your family weekend, which happens to fall exactly during Defqon.1. Or a week of eating dry macaroni with cheese, because all your money is spent on festival tickets. Love makes you do crazy things. These are the craziest things hardstyle made you do!
“I WORK IN A RESTAURANT AND MAKE UP THE WEIRDEST EXCUSES FOR GETTING OUT OF THE WEEKEND WORK, SO I CAN STILL GO TO A PARTY.”
“DEFQON.1 AND AWAKENINGS FESTIVAL ARE ALWAYS IN THE SAME WEEKEND. I HAD PROMISED MY BEST FRIEND TO GO WITH HIM TO AWAKENINGS FESTIVAL, SO I WENT TO DEFQON.1 ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AND TO AWAKENINGS ON SUNDAY. ALTHOUGH, THAT’S WHAT WE PLANNED. DEFQON.1 WAS SO MUCH FUN THAT I SOLD MY AWAKENINGS TICKET ON TICKETSWAP. I'VE HAD WEEKS OF ARGUING WITH THAT FRIEND.”
Rule 1: Never make double appointments during Defqon.1.
“I HAVEN'T BEEN TO MY MOTHER'S BIRTHDAY IN 5 YEARS!”
What do you do if your mother's birthday is during the Decibel weekend? “Uh, sorry, Mom, what about next weekend?”
“IN MY EXAM WEEKS, I'LL TELL MYSELF THAT I SHOULDN'T GO A TO FESTIVAL. BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, I'M FOOLING MYSELF. AT MY LAST EXAMS, I WENT TO THE PARTY ANYWAY. BUT I’VE MADE IT EVEN WORSE: I WENT STRAIGHT FROM THE AFTERPARTY, TO MY TEST.”
Exams you can retake. Parties not.
“I ALWAYS HAVE AN EXCUSE TO BUY NEW CLOTHES. I ALWAYS FIND A CUTE TOP THAT IS PERFECT FOR THAT ONE PARTY.”
I blame the festivals.

“I WAS NOT GOING TO Q-BASE UNTIL FOMO GOT ME. I DROVE FROM AMSTERDAM TO GERMANY FOR TWO HOURS OF FESTIVAL.”
“WHEN DEFQON.1 MOVED FROM ALMERE STRAND TO BIDDINGHUIZEN, THE DATE ALSO CHANGED. SUDDENLY DEFQON.1 FELL AT THE SAME TIME AS MY WEDDING. AFTER A LONG BEGGING TO MY FUTURE WIFE, WE MOVED THE WEDDING.”
That's what you call real love.

There is indeed only one solution, that’s what we call in the Netherlands: linkerbaan, gas .
