I worked it alll out today (for me at least).
I'm not jaded, I'm just poor. I don't have any money to go out, so I'll just say the scene isn't the same.
Anything to get me through until I have the dosh to party with ya's all again

can someone back and resurrect my warehouse raves are dead post..that had a lot of good points which i'm seeing brought up here again..
Basically rather than complain about what we don't have why not just work together to make the future enjoyable and different?
Btw putting on an illegal party isn't that risky if you do your homework...

Yes serotone I agree, Sitting and wingeing bout it will get us nowhere. But im sure that there is enough people round this site to make something like this possible. Most of us have connections and between us we could come up with what we need ie venue, sound, dj's, its just a matter of somebody instigating the whole thing and ofcourse not posting the details on this site or any other. After all sites like these are a major part of the demise of the scene as we knew it simply because any tom dick or harry can log on and find out details of partys. Think of sunny u never used to hear about it anywhere it was an unadvertised party now there is a thread on nearly every dance website in melb about it, yet ppl cant understand why its got so big. It used to be a place where you would only get to know if you knew someone who already went and u would struggle to get in the door if u didnt know someone. And you wouldnt tell ppl what u where doing or where u went, it was left for ppl to find for themselves. It took me six months till i finnally took a few of my friends to sunny because i knew they wouldnt keep thier mouths shut about it and sure enough the next time they came they bourght half the fucking hills with them. So bfore we all go saying that the scene has lost its undergroundness we must think what have we done ourselves to add to the problem.

NEW PERSPECTIVE on being an oldie
I really dig being a so-called oldie. First rave I went to was in 90/91 (brain fails me) and I saw the scene get bigger (from about 15 people at first warehouse party) and bigger and bigger (i only went to one huge rave - 10.000 people - can you even call that a rave?), but there were always smaller, home-brewed raves around. Then I vanished for a few years and came back a geriatric. And its amazing. Being a geriatric frees you completely from worries about what you look like, sound like etc. I care 100% more about the people around me 'cos hey I'm such an old granny, I've stopped worrying if people think I'm nuts. I have far more time to send good vibes out to others now than I did when I was worrying about me. I have met incredible 15/16 year olds who are so aware and awake at raves now. The toilets are a damn sight better too! Hey, there are toilets now!!
Sure, everyone got a bit fucked up on speed and coke and lost the plot a little - ie. do you really want to fork out money to go to a rave to spend your time there hiding behind the bushes so nobody will see you doing non-cool drugs - but the heart and love is still there. And sure the commercial scene is completely AWFUL, but there are still millions of small raves happening, with people who genuinely care about the scene and all the original mushy stuff it was/is about.
So no, I'm not jaded, I'm the opposite! Evolution is a fascinating process to behold.

*insert rant about how much cooler bluelight was when it was less than a hundred people and we all knew each other and it was about the drugs, not the crappy music, and now it's just not the same, and who are all these new, young people anyway?*

BFB: only 31 but the wrinkles say otherwise!! Most of my friends, who all still LOVE raves, are in their 50's - dunno what to call them - archaic fossils?

I wish I had more time to read this whole thread, but I don't, so if i'm repeating what's already been said - Sorry.
[generalisation]
In my opinion, it is the people who bitch about the scene being bad, that a lot of the time, make it bad. (Once again the Human Traffic "oldskoolers") People reckon that everyone at an event are so antiPLUR, but with this vibe, it is difficult for the PLUR to flow. If I see somebody having an awesome time, i'll chat to them, but a lot of the time, they will be the one giving me the heave-ho. Not because they are against PLUR, but because they seem to have a mindset that they will enjoy the night more with their own crew. Of course,l I have met many cool people in this way, but in general, lots of people really are jaded, whether they deny it or not. Everybody who complains about the scene is just fanning the flames of hatred. Yes, there are lots of "coked-up wogs" at Melbourne parties. Of course, most of the time they are probably on E like most other people, but just because there is a stereotype, they would definately see the scene differently - Probably negatively, they would enjoy the music because it is good, but they probably see the people as snobby - I thought raves were about PLUR.
But yeah, exclusion is a possible answer. Exclude those you consider antiPLUR, you'll probably have an awesome night, but the reason will not be because of these people, but because of your belief that they are the problem.
[/generalisation]
I love partying, screw what people think, I go to a party to dance, have a good time, talk codshit - Make a spectacle. If no-one cared what anyone else thought,the "scene" would be much more fun for everyone.
PS - Of couse there is always dickheads - and fights are always a possibilty - But is there reallymuch that can bedone about it?
