As a "pekkie"
Okokok now I have no fuckin idea and really I don't care if people think that because I sometimes wear a few beads ( I make jewellery), and some colourful clothing that I'm a kandy kid.
Or sometimes I may wear like jeans or something a bit more plain and automatically after I tell them that I've been going out for almost 2 yrs they assume that I'm jaded!!???????
I'm my own person, not an image or a catergory. Sometimes I let people see the real me and sometimes I don't, but you can either like it or lump it. I'm not going to change for anyone.
Sorry that wasn't meant to be a nasty post

i'm fast on the road to appearing like a raver - the phat pants are planned, along with money set aside for glowsticks more frequently, more effort toward the spiked hair and the chance of it changing colour soon...
but within this thing *taps head* i think i'll always be too indifferent... placid is the word, to be a raver. i don't get really excited much, less often obviously... unless there is mdma in my system, when i adopt a more raver like attitude... which is drug induced.
i'm just me

I don't mind slotting into the category of raver... I know me.. and other people know me so it's all good.
I see myself maybe more as a raving accessory. My fun is making sure other people are having a good time. I like a little bit of kandy/fluff/stupid hats and I am a purveyor and connoiseur of fine hugs and massages.
as far as i'm concerned it's all good. Every little echelon of this party scene needs each other and as long as there's balance, it's perfect.
so yes.. even you uber-jaded punks.. you know who you are.. *grins* we even need you. Ha! who'd 'ave thunk it, eh?
------------------
I'm not mal-adjusted. I'm merely rejecting the general sense of malaise engulfing the current generation of children -- a sense of futility that depletes motivation and threatens to weaken all of us by eroding our soul and spirit. Plus I'm still a little cheesed off that the purple Telly-tubby is a big fat poof.

whats makes anyone a raver?
does it mean PLUR? i dont believe in that.
i've been to clubs, i've been to raves; i've heard good and crap music at different events, same can be said for the crowd.
if being a raver indicates a certain lifestyle or certain clothing accessories, i probably dont fit the description (certainly not in the department of accessories
)
i dont see myself as a raver or clubber (perhaps someone can come up with another stereotype i might better identify with
). i'd like to think i have an empathy with the music i listen to. being a raver or a clubber or watever stereotypes there are out there, is most certainly not about to define me, nor the music i enjoy.
its just the music that matters to me.

i think the fact that i'm not blonde will in fact render any comment i make unreliable.

well well well what cna i say... well firstly thanks moocho... i am only early 20's, nothing to get too worked up about!!
i don't define myself as much more than a human being type thingy... i find that classifications and definitions obscure who you really are... i am very anti pigeon hole... people constantly try to put me in a box, i just up and turn into a circle and then sneak up on them and roger them with a herring...
it's all good... i just prefer to be myself when i go out, and to have a great time with all the funky people that i have met, and will continue to meet in my adventures through the electronic music culture (if i can call it that, or is that pigeon holing it too much
) as long as i am having fun it's all good...

Nice one pinger
.
I only see myself as someone who goes out every few weeks, gets a little toasted (okay maybe a lot) and has a few shits and giggles.
I may wear phat pants and occasional kandy, i may spend 7 hours charging to hard house, or the next i may wear baggy jeans, a hooded jumper and listen to breakbeat/2-step.
Is it the dress sense? (Beads, phat pants)
Is it the music style? (Trance/hard house/happy hard) or (dnb, breakbeat, techno?)
Is it the drug of choice? (ecstacy) or (mushrooms, ketamine and coke)?
Is it what your friends wear?
Is it how frequently you go out?
Is it if you subscribe to PLUR?
I think it is more a mindset than a physical thing. Sure there are clothing accesories, drugs and music styles involved, but a lof of people who class themselves as ravers think they are the true punters, everyone else just follows.
I just party to live, i don't live to party. And i think that doesn't make me a raver. Partying isn't number one in my life, its a hobby. I value my sanity and my future income too much

i think i'm just a temporary visitor to this "scene" thing. Sure, it's a lot of fun, and i've met heaps and heaps of really cool people, but i still sorta know in the back of my mind that eventually i'll get over it and move on. I'm not sure where i'll be moving on to, and i have no idea when i'll be moving on, but i know it will happen eventually.
does this make me not a raver? i don't go out much, in fact i don't think i've ever gone out 2 nights in a row... and i don't use drugs much. i like going out, but it gets in the way of my heavy schedule (uni, work and sport). i'm not committed to PLUR, although i do find that i mostly act in a PLUR sorta way anyway, maybe more peace than respect and love tho
i don't own phat pants (tho i have a wonky wear shirt with silver stripes), i only wear a little bit of kandy jewellery (and only occasionally). i have been known to give out random stuff to random people just to make them smile, though. i guess i can act like a raver when i want to, but i spose it's like a disguise i sometimes put on before i go out, because it makes the night fun. It's like i can escape from my normal life (don't get me wrong, i LOVE my normal life!) and go crazy, and acting like a "raver" is part of the delicious self-deception...
but i'm still seeing myself as a visitor in the scene, because i'm sure i'll find something else to amuse me. until then, i'm having fun, and keeping the "raver" in a little box under my bed, so i can bring him out on special occasions
the real me is a lot more complex than a simple definition such as "raver" can encompass.
i'm happy with myself.

,..,.,interesting thread,.,.,.
hmmm,, i don't think I could put myself into the 'raver' category. For a couple of different reasons.
1) I am a hippy in my heart & soul first and always.
2) I enjoy the people & music that make up the scene, but not always. I am particular in that it has to be a friendly scene for me to enjoy myself, otherwise I will leave and go somewhere else.
In saying that,, i DO enjoy the experience when the scene & music is mixing well,., but on the nights I go out,,,,, I am a raver,,,, for those brief periods in time I enjoy that way of existance ,.,.

The only rave Ive ever been to was Earthcore 2001 (fuck I had a good time though!!!), I only ever wear band t-shirts and jeans,I do listen to techno but only on the odd occaisons when Im not feeling myself( 
) baisically I wouldnt say Im a raver (well duh) but hey.....
I only have one word to describe myself....."me" and thats all Ill ever be!

Im with De Quincy all the way (except for the khandy).
Hmmm...im a heterosexual male in his prime who enjoys dancing.
I went to my first rave (Utopia, May 2001) with a couple of my mates coz of the sheer number of girls in our demographic going. We figured we might pick up a hot chick or two. For the first couple of hours we walked around looking for small groups of girls to chat up. We gave it a break and went to dance for a bit and didnt stop. Every rave we've been to since, our motivation was the prospect of meeting some hot chicks. But gradually its changed so that now its about dancing your ass off all night and meet a few girls if the oppportunity arises. Im a demon with the glowsticks but other than that i dont dress up or look like a raver (khandy, reflective clothes etc.)
Besides raves, we goto anything where we can pick up, house parties, pubs, clubs....basically anything and everything where even the slightest chance of picking up exists.
Therefore, i see myself as a heterosexual male looking for sex, having a bit of fun along the way.

My world is so far separated from raves that as an ex metalhead 19 yo chubby bastard I find it impossible to ever consider myself a raver (thought my pants are pretty phat) And like nearly every post has said so far - what makes a RAVER?
