Is Gloving an Art Form Or a Drug Accessory? We Investigated the Crackdown on LED Gloves at EDM Festivals

Is Gloving an Art Form Or a Drug Accessory? We Investigated the Crackdown on LED Gloves at EDM Festivals

The success of the art form can be seen in its fans' devotion to it online. Videos of famous glovers like Gummy and Skittles have upwards of three million YouTube views each, and the most popular gloving group on Facebook, Glover's Lounge, has nearly 20,000 members.

But just as the gloving community was coalescing on the internet over the last few years, the art form hit a major IRL roadblock in 2010, when a 15-year-old named Sasha Rodriguez died after attending Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) in Los Angeles. The coroner's office later ruled that her cause of death was due to complications from taking MDMA.
