Wooks are smelly hippies that go to music festivals and consume a lot of ecstasy and ketamine, generally they sell grilled cheeses or pins in the parking lot or the campgrounds. A lot of times they are white and have dread locks.

Plur stands for peace, love, unity, respect. These are ravers. Usually they are dressed in some loud form of a neon color. Lots of glow sticks. My favorite ones usually aren't wearing much more than booty shorts and a crop top. Plur heads I made up, idk.

That neon vibe never got foot on our soil. Imo its an US thing. Pacifiers too.

Ravers wear baggy clothes from army dumps, thrift shops items, missuse of commercial logo's t's and sweats, hoodies. Well i was mainly into the free partys, the Tekno scene after Gabber destroyed Rave.
And as i am not racist, part of the Gabbers were the vibe changed, time for exit as racism ranks as high as homophobia imo

Certainly never seen people give light shows all American. No use for glow sticks you can express PLUR without dresssing like a clown.

Never trust a Merry Prankster! Quote from the 'Cool Aid Acid Test' this includes oneself, naturally.

They all are afaik. But who came up with the name? Mountain girl was cool. Sandy (the paranoid) nicknamed Dis-Mount, Ken offcourse, Dean Moriatry edit: Neal Cassidy and ... that hermit at la Honda. Thats about as far as my mem goes.

But for me it became a methaphor, maybe it was one, never trust anyone including yourself.
Would be great to have a time machine, go back to see how it was in reality.
But the book gives a accurate on the first hippys, is what i read.

devoured that book, over and over.

Me too, it has been 35 years since I read it last but remember it well. Now I will have that in my head. Never trust a prankster.

I thought it was funny as the pranksters said Tom Wolfe always wore a white suit when he interviewed. So one day he went to interview the pranksters as they were doing all kinds of day glow paints and psychedelic paintings. And Tom Wolfe showed up in a white suit........ haha

In the movie that finally got released, i have no memorys but watched it.
Who is Tom Wolfe, as he described it as if he was a partipant, not like he only took notes.

Was he part of the Merry Pranksters group? Obvious he is also a good writer.
But it reads almost like an eye witness report. He did write up the exact right words.
That make a book good.

The Merry Pranksters

They mention:
These events are also documented by one of the original pranksters,
Lee Quarnstrom, in his memoir, When I Was a Dynamiter. A reading tip never heard off it.

Just saw Wolfe, white suite, beige tie and a classy head. Makes no sense at all.
Then again it does.

I thought Tom Wolfe was just a writer. And he wrote the electric Kool-Aid acid test. I’m not sure why he wanted to write about the pranksters though.

Tom Wolfe met the Pranksters in San Fransisco while they were waiting for Ken Kesey to be released from Federal prison. This was just before the Acid Test Graduation; so he missed 95 % of the story related in The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test.

He was considered an outsider by the Pranksters

Everyone in the "Hip Circuit" was talking about Kesey and the Pranksters that year, he was just trying to scoop a "cool" story. And IMHO he succeeded. 👍
Life Magazine even had a article on the Merry Pranksters.

So I was in peru or brazil (i literally don't know) it was near letecia Colombia, and I was on a 4 day tour of the jungle. At the end of the 4 days, we stop at a little village for snacks. They've got pet monkeys, pet snakes, got to hold an anaconda etc. As we were leaving, we notice a capybara walking down the dock to our boat. He was apparently the villages mascot. Anyway it tried to get in our boat as we were leaving. Me and my buddy are yelling "No capybara! We love you but you can't come with" It almost made it, but we pushed off just in time and it fell in the water. It swam with our boat for at least 100 feet before it turned back and swam home.

True story I've got pictures to prove it. Capybaras are the best, and maybe one of my spirit animals LoL
 
the portrait of lady was some journalist investigating arms deals in Ukraine war. I just paused the documentary in the 50-100 milliseconds their eyes were all over the place, found it hilarious and used that.

But I could find something new for a change, pig herding competition pics are not that inspiring after all IMO.

Take my words back after watching a doc about 50 + ers still actively participating in the hardcore scene (used to be Gabber).

To my disgrace they wore bright colored clothing, glowstics, neon weeved in dreadlocks,
wrinkles and bags under their eyes. So I retract my American insult, its here, guilty as charged.
Are these elderly copying or is it just natural evolution to dress weirder and weirder as time goes by?

I wrote an essay a few years back about the origins of rave/club culture.

I can't remember all the details off the top of my head, but the emergence of rave culture is pretty tightly tied up with the popularisation of acid house music (which itself has roots in the Chicago high nrg disco scene) in the UK towards the late 80s with clubs like Shoom and the Hacienda (check out 24 hour party people with Steve Coogan, great film) popularizing the music.

It was around that time that MDMA/Ecstasy (and the associated pacifiers, or dummies as we call them) began to be associated with the rave scene, and then a few years later club culture after the man™️ started cracking down on the rave scene from the early to mid 90s.

So basically the music has its routes in the North American disco scene but then the Brits got their druggy mitts on it 😁
