Words uttered by just about every raver I've met....

[Flip]

"I totally quit doing E,meth,drugs. Now I only do it once in a while."

If you 'quit', you don't do it EVER! If you only do it once in a while then you just cut back.

Or when you find those morons who 'quit' drugs every Sunday, only to start again every Friday. Just because you ran out for a few days, doesn't mean you quit. If you've quit something 73 times then you're a bad quitter, stop quitting and admit you're an addict!!

Another thing I can't get enough of is hearing people who don't know shit about music, saying "I love jungle" pointing to the stage during Azim's set. Or saying "I love trance!" during one of Dabbler's sets. If you don't know shit from shit, shut your mouth. Or atleast say, "I like this music but I don't know what genre this is because this is only my 3rd party and I have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm just a silly little douche-bag." That is acceptable.

Some people are so judgemental. A rave is a place where people go to dance and have a good time right? So if they want to fuck around with things that glow and "trip eachother out" let them be and do your own thing, Raves=People+Drugs+glowsticks, Thats just what comes to mind when a rave is mentioned, So all the people who are jus to cool for school Stop bitchin about "ravers" you all once flailed around with glowsticks dont deny it:haha:

[Felix]

yup! totally flailed with the glow and wore the candy and fuzzy shit as well...then I quit doing drugs, No more plur for this cat after the chems got outa my brain.

As far as newbie's with glow sticks, stay away from me and have a REALLY fucking great time with them, it won't last.

See, that'd be all fine and good, if ravers only understood what it means when I say:
"No, I don't want to see your light show."

[mapleleaf4ever]

Ever notice how once the word Glowstick is mentioned in ANY THREAD AT ALL that it always ends up into an argument about them and their usage?

[Felix]

(but I still know what you mean bitchin, party kids are not really "ravers")

[Bitchin]

^atleast some one gets me!!!.

Ravers vs. "partykids"

Whatever. Just a label, guys. To describe the same thing.

I think it was somewhere around the early-to-mid 90s, raves were getting a lot of mainstream coverage, ecstasy was getting bigger and bigger, eventually the "oldschoolers" got fed up with all these younguns getting fucked up on drugs and calling themselves "ravers" so they picked a new word for it. And they stopped calling them raves, just parties.

Same shit. Fuck, you'll have enough trouble convincing me there's much of a difference between ravers and goths, let alone ravers and partykids.

[Antenna_Boy]

love the party, hate the drugs, love the music, hate the sunshine in the morning that makes me feeling reeeeeealllly sleepy

[Antenna_Boy]

you know you are a fucked up raver when you are in the smoke pit and you have the butt end of the cigarette opposite to your lips and you light it. And you wonder why the cigarette tastes like burning plastic until someone taps on your shoulder and says "DUDE, You ARE SMOKING THE CIGARETTE THE WRONG WAY" :( hahah

mostly agreed
but Goths are waaay different from ravers/partykids, they're all social misfits in some way or another but that's as far as it goes. Goths ussually don't have the same kind of fun as party kids and are alot less social while being alot more into death (yah it's stereotypical, but so is this thread). Both have they're goods and bads, Goth done good looks HOT, but goth done bad is just a f*ing scrub. Party girls done good looks HOT, but party girl done bad is just a f*in slut.

Whatever.

People doing drugs, listening to loud music and dancing like retards wearing peer-group-flavoured clothing. Same thing, differen flavour.

And no, it's not that goths are antisocial, it's that they pretend they are.

haha thats funny cuz thats the truth.

but to be honest, i think anyone who gets mad about being called a raver is to worried over trivial shit, i tell everyone im a raver whether im a party kid or raver who cares, if people think ravers are stupid im gonna change there mind about ravers then. do you really care what other poeple think about you when they label you? [/rambling rant]

oh and just to re-iterrate, glowsticks make raves fun :D haha i dont think ide enjoy raving half as much if i couldnt have a pair of them or 6 in my hands raving the entire time lol

hahaha.. The only reason glowsticks are fun is cuz I take em from people and throw them, and then watch the silly little ravers chase after them. =P lol

[Bitchin]

You know.

I could agrue with you people but the vast majority of you wouldnt understand being that you havent been around for as long.. as say Dave.

I know majority of people that have been around this long would understand, cause they all rather say party kid then raver.

tho.... over the years the term 'party kid' has died.... so its only natural that people on here wouldnt agree with me.

Hey, if you spent 4 dollars or whatever it costs for 2 glowsticks, you too would chase after your chucked sticks. I mean, can't let the nammers have all the glowsticks you know :)
