On the run said:dude what kind of a feeble doofer are you if you can't go hard 3 days long. for shame, mate. ps, i've been to about 10-15 smaller doofs this year, and dj'd at a bunch of them as well ie the sundance records party etc, and nothing pisses me off more then the dudes who just sleep during the night or turn up at 8am on sunday morning. is it that hard to go hard all night?
willow11 said:Being able to stay awake for three days isn't anything special. Hell, give me amphetamines and I could do it too. So you think your uber-doofness makes you more of a man or sumthin'? 8) What a bore. Psytrance is bout doing whatevea you want. If someone wants to sleep the whole party, fugging good on 'em. It can actually be a bit hard to go all night, particulalry if you are vaguely concerned about your health. Oh, but then doof lords aren't like that, Mother Nature feeds them (and the hells angels who brew the meth).
That attitude is what is killing the psy scene in Australia, for me at least. Live and let live. That said, how was earthcore? %)
On the run said:Where did i say it was special to be able to stay awake for 3 days? I said the completel opposite, that you'd have to be pretty feeble NOT to be able to. Drugs or otherwise. And it's pretty laughable that you think people wanting to actually stay up and dance or whatever is what is killing the psy scene. Yeah it must be that, not the bunch of scenester tools who make up 80% of the doof crowd, don't dance at all but just stand around by the fire chin stroking all night, if they even turn up before it's light.
Half the doofs I go to me and my mates are the only freakin ones on the dancefloor supporting the djs at night. How fun is it to dj to a bunch of hippies standing around a fire talking or an empty dancefloor? Not very. I'd kill for parties here like the ones in israel/india/europe where people dance hard all night. It's the lamest scene ever here. But yeah it's def people like me whose attitude tends to be "party hard and enjoy the music instead of sleeping through most of it" that are killing the scene.
willow11 said:No, I meant people with an attitude that doesn't allow others to do what they want and enjoy it. You talk about chin-strokers 'talking all night', exactly what you sound like....to be honest, I prfer the sounds of progressive at a doof, which means staying awake all night will ruin my chance of feeling great when I see who I wanna see. Unless they play prog at night, then I'm in bed. Sorry, but I've heard a million full-on psytrane tunes at night at many a doof, and over several years (say 7) I've become kinda cold on that sound.
I'm actually not that concerned as to whether that DJ has fun or not; perhaps if a different style of music was being played, people would listen. Look at RSF, largely psygressive and I don't tend to sleep very much there... Personally, I like listening to dark psy (Kindzadza, Ocelot, Terranoise, Savage Scream) at home, and groovy prog when out.
Ah, I've fallen into my own trap; I don't wanna be judgmental like so much of the melbourne/aussie psy (oz)trance scene, yet in effect, I am being. No offense bro

On the run said:Which part of "go hard or go home" and "me and my mates are the only one on the dancefloor at night" makes it sound like we stand around talking all night? We DANCE all night. That's why we come to psy parties, because we like the music and like to dance to it. Not as some sort of lame social gathering where everyone just stands around and talks and ignores the music. No offence taken, this is just something that perpetually pisses me off.
