Rage On: Parents just don’t understand… or do they?

Mom figures out what’s up with ratchets and womp with help from Let’s Rage.

When I was younger I listened to rave music on the radio and in my car all day long and I used to hate when my parents would ask me about it. "Why is he saying 'Can you feel it?' Can you feel what? What does that mean and why is there an alien on your t-shirt?" I would roll my eyes and give the quickest answer possible because how would I ever explain to them why I am listening to a song that just says "Ecstacy" or "Your name's not down, you're not coming in" over and over again for 8 minutes straight? It made perfect sense to me but I felt stupid actually having to say it out loud.

When I started seeing Let's Rage clothing around various festies I felt kinda old… actually, I felt like my mom in the '90s. So to spare myself having to ask why anyone would wear a neon hat that says "WOMP" on it or a t-shirt that says "Sex, Drugs & Dubstep," I decided to call my mom and see what she thought. She asked the Boston-based company plenty of things that I am sure some of you all have been wondering, but were just afraid to ask.
