The Ethos of GrooveGrade

Festival Culture’s Rebel Yell

In a world where festivals drown in corporate hype and hidden fees, GrooveGrade isn’t just a platform—it’s a revolt. Born from mosh pits and merch tables (literally—our CEO built a merch empire), we’re here to tear down the glossy marketing lies and rebuild festival culture as a town square for the people.

No More Whispering. Scream It.

GrooveGrade is where honesty goes to start fires. Attendees, artists, and even disillusioned insiders come here to drop truth bombs—about exploitative ticket prices, safety hazards, or that "eco-friendly" festival that served drinks in plastic cups. We amplify what festivals try to silence.

Our reviews don’t just rate events; they hold them at gunpoint (metaphorically, of course). Celebrate the indie fest that nailed it? Hell yes. Expose the corporate giant cutting corners? Even better.

Authentic, Unfiltered, and Occasionally Hostile

Our voice? Think of it as the punk kid in the back of the crowd yelling what everyone’s thinking:

• To fans: "Stop letting Live Nation gaslight you."
• To artists: "You deserve more than ‘exposure’ and a warm beer."
• To festivals: "Try hiding your ADA violations now."

We’re credible, relentless, and loud—because polite feedback gets ignored.

No Sponsors. No Sellouts. No Bullshit.

We’re funded by rebels, not brands. No backroom deals. No "sponsored" 5-star reviews. Just raw, unfiltered grades from the people who actually sweat in those crowds.

Power to the Pit

GrooveGrade exists for one reason: to weaponize your experience. Every review forces festivals to choose—adapt or die. Every viral exposé (looking at you, "Grandparents Read Your EDM Reviews") proves the old model is broken.

The Future? It’s a Mosh Pit.

We’re not here to "improve" festivals. We’re here to burn down the bad ones and crown the ones doing it right. The ethos is simple:

1. Speak up. (Your silence pays their bonuses.)
2. Demand better. (Or steal their crowd with a DIY fest.)
3. Repeat.

Welcome to the rebellion.
