Rave Culture?

[Hideki1234123]

Some things in this thread have upset me seeing as i am a die hard raver, and a DJ till the day I die. I am 17 and have gone to multiple events and even played at some. So here I go with quotes :P and if some of the point i make have already been made i appologise.

I'm disappointed he learned quickly and walked away, being drugged up and all. I was hoping to punch him straight in the face. The best part is, I'm not even tough. As long as no weapons are involved though, even the toughest guys on ectasy get their a** whooped.

You need to learn how to find the good raves, and how to deal with the bad ones. There is also a huge sense of PLUR (it's what ravers live by, at least at the raves. It stands for Peace, Love, Unity, and Respect). No one is there to fight, they are there to enjoy music and dance, whether taking drugs or not. I never see fights at a rave, and even if there was one, it'd be the best way to get shunned. No one wants a hardheaded person to ruin the fun.

Good sir i like how you talk about wanting to beat someones ass. and then saying starting a fight at a rave is a good way to get shunned. This is quite ironic dont you think?

Just because you go to a rave doesnt mean you do the drugs there. There are alot of sober ravers out there. I am one of them and alot of my good raver buddies are them to. So if people doing drugs is going to stop you from embracing a culture that is awesome than to me thats stupid. If you love a genre of music embrace it :P

That what I thought when i first got into Electronic music. You just have to find the scene where ever you live and go to them. Granted alot of the scene most palces are 18+ (I am lucky to have a nice all ages hardcore scene) but not all of them are 18+ and once you get to know people they are more willing to let you go to the 18+ events.

As i said before there are plenty of all ages events you just got to find them. And i can shuffle too ;D

I agree a billion times with this Mad props

Now i will finally answer the first post :P just some things i wanted to say :P

So far the best rave i went to was Bright nights with No Left Turn. It was an all hardcore event and i met tons of my ood internet buddies and made so many friends. And the music was ****ing banging!!! That would be my unbiased answer :P my biased answer would be the ones i DJed at seeing as i DJed at them

My favorite DJs are.... Tiesto, Steve Aoki, Wolfgang Gartner, Sharkey, Cotts, Styles and breeze, and my boy Sylus (he knows how to mix the hardcore songs i love)
