You know what I remember about raves back in the day? only like 5 years ago...but that counts as back in the day for me...
the raves i would go to
they were RAVES
not parties
i mean parties are great
but when it's all about socializing and getting fucked up
rather than the music and the dancing
it becomes just a party
i used to go to raves by myself, or with just ONE friend that i'd drag along because i knew they liked the music. completely buttfuck sober. I didn't go to be "cool" or to make hella friends. I never spent a lot of time socializing. You know what I did? I FUCKING DANCED. That's what it was all about. I'd dance hard too. The real raving I did back in the day...when I got home I could barely walk because my legs were so sore from dancing for 6 hours...completely sober
one thing i noticed about a couple raves i've been to...was that it was just an excuse for some kids to get high/drunk and socialize, hit on girls etc.
a lot of the time, new kids to the scene, or someone's first rave. I'm all down for new kids to bust into the scene... but if you're not even there for the music or dancing...just go to some hyphy house party and listen to mac dre.....cuz i don't know about them but i've been listening to electronica since i was like 12
