Keep going to your gay clubs and let me know when a party is at a real venue like the Roseland or something even close to that scale in new york.

Even parties at the roseland were commercial.

What about storm raves or Nasa? Those parties were the start to the NYC rave scene, so don't say that 1995-2000 were the wonder years. It is all relevant to the times you had. If you don't believe me click on my myspace link, and in my groups there is a group called "Nasa Ravers", and these are all people who spawned the NYC rave scene.

You might not believe it because half of them now use walkers, but it's true...

Sorry, I know I just posted above, but this got me thinking about liquid sky. I think Reid Speed used to work in the record store down stairs, and they used to have a waterfall in the front window....... Ahhh the memories.

I Love NYC Forever

The way you can tell if a party was banging if there is a pile 3 feet high of water bottles. But this does not happen anymore beacuse a big New York!! party is 200 people. You all can bitch all you want at me but so far none of your responses has to do with old school new york raves. I also have no problem with people dressing diffrently but now its like people try to be as fruity as possible. And this is 150 out of the 200 people at the party. Talk to me about new york 1995 or so. Someone tell me about BRASS MONKEY 2 or even Phunky Monkey. You people don;t even know what that is. You ever even Heard of the Brass Monkey parties I doubt it. Its all gone forever and its someones fault not times changing.

Brass Monkey was the sorriest excuse for a party ever!

so ne ways...... HAVE YOU HEARD THE MUSIC??????? the scene is alittle gay in the sense that not everyone is on the same page, but come on now if you have the audacity to rain on our parade you have no right to call yourself a raver, ex- raver or not!

[Incoherent]

happy hardcore is mad gay....and i just can't take that music plus the candy ravers seriously...i dunno mayb as you get older you just start craving a more mature crowd....mayb thats why ive been leaning more towards clubbing rather than raving....plus alotta my fav Djs wont play raves unless their like massive (Sven Vath, Chris Liebing, Felix tha Housecat)...anybody else feel the same way?

So sorry to say I agree. Come on X-Raver, this obviously is not the place to bag out raves. There are thousands of message boards out there which better accomodate you. Quit making yourself a matyr, and find somewhere that you can edify yourself, and others.

You are telling me to move out of the best city in the worlds (becides the new gay raves) just because all the new people ruined raves does not mean I have to move. I could vacation in Cali and goto a party once and a while. NYC has been dead for so long now that I am used to it by now. I know what to expect when I do attempt to goto a so called NYC "rave" (basement no light boring club). So thanks for the advice but I will stay here and just not goto parties. Mabey one day someone will spring the $$ for a real party.

orrrr... you can pinch yo lips, throw some shrapnel down and do up a party how you want them to be done..............

X-raver, you just need to come to Philly where we really throw down, NYC has and always will be a weak representation of Philadelphia. Check out Urban DK at God's Basement if ure lookin for a good time. Any Local 13 party, (Whistle, Bang), is worth checkin out.

Dude, you obviously werent around for the storm rave, nasa, or any of the outlaw parties in NYC during the early 90's. They paved the way for raves in the USA. If NYC didn't do it, it wouldn't have been done. Know what you are talking about before you diss a city that everyone on here owes some credit to....

X raver- You wanna re-live the beginning of the rave scene? Move to South America, rave scene just began there about 4 yrs ago...its still in its infancy is most S American Country's and i know for a fact in Colombia they have massives every month and Illegal raves every weekend, (Imagine shutting off and entire neighboorhood to have a rave/block party in the middle of the day, imagine a Country so behind in its scene that no even herd Drum and Bass yet....yes...in S America they're still in the House/Techno/Trance phase like we were around the yr 1991 (give or take)....Its great, everything feels fresh, new and exciting again down there!
