Do you think you're growing out of the rave scene?

[Ever666]

I know exactly what you mean.


I go thinking about how fun and how excited i use to get for a party years ago when it was still fresh for me. Pretty much just setting myself up for a disapointment.

what rave scene?

[trancedreams]

"Do you think you're growing out of the rave scene?"

absolutely positively NOT. it's the opposite. i'm just starting! (& @ age 20/21 in a month to boot.) i "dipped my feet into the water" so to speak in late '06 (ATB & AVB) & have been going INCREDIBLY full-force in '07. i've decided that this is the yr where i'm going to go to as many events as possible. so, you'll probably see a lot of me this year. ugh. i've been live-trance deprived for SO long. & trance sounds 1,000,000% better at venues than at home, obviously. it amazes me. <3

but back to the subject @ hand: i recon in my situation, it's rather a question of am i "outgrowing" the music. & my response to this question is, once again, absolutely positively NOT. i've been listening to trance for SO long now (& by myself, even to this day, mind you, since my girlies think my "crazy booop booop disco music" is a bunch of bullshit.) however, my tastes have shifted between the sub-genres pretty noticeably. nevertheless, i recon that i still won't ever grow tired of it, even if i have no more sub-genres to shift towards.

hah. i wanna be 1 of those 40+ yr old adults at events still dancing their heart out to the ch00ns...minus the drugs obviously. which reminds me, i've seen those peeps are at clubs AND raves; the venue seems to be insignificant to them, just as long as the tracks are bangin', they'll be there. this is absolutely how i feel as well. when it comes down to it, the venue/atmosphere has no significant to me. i just care VERY strongly about the ch00ns.

but i don't wanna come across as stuck up. whatever reason you're going to clubs/raves, just as long as you're having a good time & don't mess up my good time, it's absolutely fine w/ me. = )

[Pennywise]

I might be growing out of the scene but I think that's natural after 7 years lol



I'm not growing out of the music though.

[ebbomega]

I felt that 5 years ago. Now not so much.

Mainly because I stopped going to parties filled with high school kids.

[dabbler]

10 raves a year is not really a 'scene' imo. I do however enjoy Apex and most smaller parties (swiftsbeats shows etc) and i don't think i've ever felt like i was growing out of it. and i'm going on 10 years now

You'll be gone in like a month.

I can't wait for you to come back on here in the fall and start preaching to us about how we're all drug addicted losers and we should really get a life.

This kinda gets back to the old argument - what's a rave?

If all it is is an all-night party with drugs and electronic music at varied venues, I've been to at least a dozen in the last year alone.

There's a lot more of them than 10 in a year out here.

[prozac]

^agreed

[stringbeans]

SOMETIMES I TOO SIT AT HOME IN BED PONDERING WHETHER I AM GROWING OUT OF THE RAVE SCENE OR NOT

[Carrie]

I used to enjoy the big ones, but the rave scene that I started in isn't the one that is going on now.

I went to "Pink" and I remember when at 9pm there was a line down the street to get into Riverside. I arrived with Chrissy, Tyson, Amanda and James at 11:30pm and there were 5 people in line and the place was very empty.

I wish I knew about more smaller intimate parties around town, even afterhours type events. It's a mature party crowd. I do enjoy drinking at clubs and shows that my friends put on (cause I can get the booze inside)

[Phrenetic]

i hate big ones

i liek ones in phonebooths

Promoters need to take some chances yo...

There's a lotta music that is good but never gets any exposure - who's up for a revolution? It would be cool to create a non-profit organization, by donations, that would have all kinds of nights with all kinds of genres. :D

[Carrie]

I miss soundproof.

[mapleleaf4ever]

Yuuup... Club Nights only now. :)

[Vitamin-X]

First real rave I went to was Unity in 04.
It was busted about 30 minutes after I got there :(

I find that certain types of can usually only be found at raves ie: breaks,speed garage ect.
Ravish clubs like the Lotus are good, but they're all about non stop house.

[t-skywalker]

ive been partying since 97. i enjoy a good night here and there but im not down to rave it up till the sun comes up anymore. im so tired by like 3 lol

Unite was a rad party.


It was a real shame it got busted so fast.

Then again I didnt say anything there that implies I was bored. I still try to enjoy myself as much as possible , but it gets really monotonous after a while.

You missed the point.

If you're thinking there's some extra experience behind a party other than just a party, then you're going to be disappointed. If you're finding yourself unsatisfied with the party make it better. That's the whole point. Why the fuck not? It's a party!

Very well put. I would love to check out different scenes in liek asia for instance. Spain, and of coarse the U.K and Europe as a whole. Definetly bored of Van though

[thebobman]

well that's the thing about raves & raver chicks... you keep getting older... but they stay the same age.... which is awesome, until you get booked for sexually assaulting a minor...

not that that's ever happened to me...

[Mr Ektion]

If you've spent time loving electronic music and the scene that comes with it. And if you find yourself posting on a rave website even when you don't go to raves or club nights anymore you can always go back and re-visit the a party scene. No matter how much time I take away from listening to loud bass in the dark, I can always go back as long as the music is good.

Sorta like 30 year olds and disco nights.

[Cdn_Brdr]

^EFF OFF!!!

I'm 7 or so months away from 30 and you'd be hard pressed to figure that out if you met me! hahaha

30 does not mean ancient!
