A festival is a music event, usually held outdoors and attended by thousands of music fans. Multiply artists play on usually multiple stages and on some occasions, these festivals last multiple days.
Music fan 1: Belgian festivals are always the greatest..
Music fan 2: Yeah I know, the bands are always so rad... I love it.
Music fan 3: Would you guys please shut up?! I'm trying to enjoy the atmosphere here!!
A festival is an event, usually attended by the unwashed masses and hippies.
Mainly a festival serves as excuse for crappy rock bands like Athlete and that utter prick Pete Doherty to make a lot of money for doing fuck all.
It is compulsory not to wash for one week before attending a festival. And hippies must always have a grimy joint pressed between their filthy, yellowed fingers.
Hippy: I'm going to a festival this weekend.
Me: I trust you have not washed recently then.
EBK stands for "Elite Ball Knowledge." 1 In internet slang, "ball knowledge" originally referred to a deep understanding of football/soccer or basketball, but it has evolved into a broader term for having a highly sophisticated, deep, or niche understanding of any specific topic (such as music, movies, or subcultures).
Person A: "That scene was a direct homage to an unreleased 1982 Japanese indie film."
Person B: "Wow, EBK."
