Pandemonium Day

If you are tired of absolute order, it’s time to join the celebration of Pandemonium Day on July 14th. It is generally accepted that unpredictable events and chaos drastically change our lives for the worse, but one day a year you can relax and allow complete bedlam.

The History

The word pandemonium was first used in the 17th century in the poem Paradise Lost by John Milton. The word consists of two parts – ‘all’ and ‘demons’. Of course, in the modern world, this frightening meaning is no longer used; instead, it is simply something unpredictable and chaotic. If you have the feeling that life is scheduled by the second, boring, and too predictable, it is time to throw the established rule book out the window. On Pandemonium Day, you can do the craziest things: cancel meetings, do something unusual, but do not break the law. The main thing is that, on this day, you do not violate anyone’s borders or harm anyone. The essence of the holiday is to emphasize your own uniqueness.

Interesting Facts

The word ‘pandemonium’ was often used by world stars. For example, in the song ‘Airplanes’ by Hayley Williams or in the title of the Pet Shop Boys album, which was released in 2010. In 1982, a parody horror film called Pandemonium was released. This was the name of the roller coaster in the film, and it still runs at the famous Six Flags amusement park.

How to take part

• Sometimes you have to break the rules to live life to the fullest. Live Pandemonium Day like it is your last day.
• Have fun and party with your friends.
• If your life is too laid-back and chaotic, Pandemonium Day is a great excuse to spruce things up a bit.
• The essence of the holiday is to do what will make you happy and free, and if something in your life needs repair, do it the way your mood and heart suggest.
