i should also mention I haven't been to a "rave" since dooms night 2005... it just isn't really my deal anymore. It's lost its luster to me for a number of reasons. Like the others mentioned, raves have morphed into something entirely different than what they were when I became fascinated with the coulture almost 10 years ago. The other reason is I'm not a teenager anymore and know that I am not invincible. Unfortunately a huge part of the coulture (wether we like to admit it or not) revolves around very unhealthy and irresponsible choices that can potentially create huge problems for a person in many many ways. Nowadays I save all my pent up inner raver for the odd club night and a certain beloved b.c. music festival which I've fallen in love with since 2006..... what do the kids call it?? shamba something or nother. thats it.... :P

Personally I cannot bitch about youth at parties, cuz I started hella young. The one thing I CAN bitch about is I think that younger people should be taken by someone that has been there before, or someone help them along the way. You know safety etc...

live and learn. If that 13 year old wakes up suddenly seeing a 40 year old man between her legs she will learn never to take those 2 tabs from a stranger again. haha.
Sorry. :( I kid.

OK seriously guys... just because some of us started when we were young doesnt make it a good thing.
I might not think that 19+ is necessary at a rave, but then again I also think that 19+ is not necessary at clubs. BUT I sure as hell like the fact that clubs are 19+! All things aside, there SHOULD be age restrictions at raves. Why? For the same reason there is an age restriction on driving a car, drinking alchohol, smoking, etc. At raves people do drugs, get fuckked up, and it generally is NOT the safest place in the world for naieve 12 yr old LG in her booties and bra. These kids may think they are mature, but they are just kids. Seriously there is a point where some of these youngsters do not make the best decisions. this is not Every young kid, and many of us may rememebr our youth as being a responsible time. BUT THIS IS NOT EVERY YOUTH! Seriously, just look around the scene. How do you people not recognize that there is something severely fucked up when we see 13 yr olds in underwear dancing amongst 40yr olds? High on drugs past safe levels, having glowsticks waved in their face while they grind their teeth and their eyes roll back into their head. If you think the youth are mature enough, when you actually see this shit happening infront of you, you clearly cannot see the big picture.

go there. be respectful. dance ... that's the thing that kept me coming back. The vibe a parties was always so much better then in the clubs where I was. Oh, and top 40 was never considered a genre among the rave crowd.

I've been to plenty of parties where there's plenty of kids all throughout my rave career. I think I was 16 when I went to my first party.
How do I keep from being jaded? I go to parties that I wouldn't have been able to go to when I first started partying. The ones that get promo'd on these boards to little avail, or don't even get put onto FNK at all. Always is a decline of these parties in the winter, and every year someone complains that there are no more good parties to go to. But yet I still manage to find plenty of places to get my drink on, and I still find myself enjoying parties a damn near decade into my "raving" career. Moral of the story? Everybody goes through phases. Their nubile stage where everything is different and you are convinced you are at the heart of a new revolution. Their veteran stage where they jump on all the memes - wearing bracelets, waving glowsticks, giving massages and having candy in every one of your fifteen pockets in your pants. Their bitter/jaded career whereupon you're pretty much doing the same thing you were in your veteran stage except you're more prone to less cheesy music and your fashions are almost directly in opposition to the same fashions you were into no more than three months prior. The exile stage where you decide that raves just plain aren't for you, you just go onto raver message forums and laugh at how nobody seems to understand it properly. The born-again stage where you go to a rave, have a freaking blast, realize it's just a party and just enjoy yourself. Finally the conscientious phase where you find yourself willingly helping the youngers as they make all the same mistakes you yourself once did. Everybody goes through it. Some people give up at the Exile stage, and those people never really party again. They find a significant other, a hobby, and a suitable career and live on their lives, occasionally dabbling for a weekend at a bar, but never really more than once or twice a season. Me, personally, couldn't stop there. Love the music, love the crowd, love just the entire design of a party. Things like that make life keep going for me. Am I ever gonna stop? Probably, but I the way I see it is that I have some of my best partying years ahead of me.
