rave etiquette

[rat tat tat tat]

Just got back from a NYE rave. Not sure if it was really a rave, but it's a local club that plays techno/house music in the main room, but has two other rooms for Top 40 and Hip-Hop. I don't know if it was what I was expecting exactly, but I had some odd encounters there, including some ugly girl trying to grind with me and some guy pinching my butt while I was grinding with some other girl. Oh, and I was near like the hottest girl there (out of near a thousand people) and this black guy pointed to her like I should dance with her, so I got the balls and asked and she just walked away.

A few questions about what you guys do:

1. There were three girls. One was really ugly. My friends start grinding with the two hot ones, and I just dance by myself, obviously shutting the girl down. What would you do if you're buddies ask some girls to dance and you happen to be stuck with an ugly one?

2. Do you usually just walk up to a chick and start grinding or do you ask them if they'd like to dance? I was afraid if I just went up and started grinding that I'd get slapped.

Grind first. Ask questions later.

but seriously, grinding is not very raverish at all. most people go to parties to get away from that sort of thing.

1. you were not at a rave. what the fuck dude? dear god, what has happened...

2. they come to me, damn it.

Well, they were playing all trance/house in the room I was in. They also had a bunch of crazy lights going. I don't think I'd want to go to a rave if grinding isn't part of it, it's honestly the funnest part of dancing.

If a huge party with strictly techno and crazy lighting doesn't constitute a rave. There were a bunch of people doing crazy dances and not grinding or anything, and some people using glowsticks, but there were definitely tons grinding and dry humping (front to front) on the floor. I'm pretty sure it would be considered a rave.

it's probably a matter of definition, but i don't call a club that plays top40 and hip-hop a "rave", even if it had a room with cheesy trance and laser beams attached;

in any case, the only "rave etiquette" i know of is not to behave like a fucking retard which includes pinching random strangers butts and generally being overly sexual in an annoying way;

that's what i was thinking! granted, i haven't been a regular party-goer in at least a couple of years, but that definitely doesn't sound like a normal 'rave' you went to. sounds more like a regular club full of skanks and skanky behavior.

lol.

I haven't been to a "rave" per se in a long time... mostly goa/psy parties. And basically the ettiquette there is just to be respectful and nice to all there, and to bear in mind that about 3/4 (if not more) are totally blasted on psychedelic drugs and not to do anything that would flip people out.

UGH. Grinding isn't dancing. Of all the dancing in all the world, grinding should not fall in that catergory. I hate when the only moves a guy has on the dance floor is to come up behind me and rub his dick on my ass. Get some really moves! GGRRR!!!

Sorry, this post just irritated me.

This thread should have been titled "Grind etiquette".

Grinding and raves have nothing to do with one another. At a rave, when the music tells you to dance, it's not telling you to test the quality or structural integrity of the fabric which your trousers are made of by performing random rub tests with your crotch.

First of all, any place that plays top 40 music is not a rave. No.

1. There were three girls. One was really ugly. My friends start grinding with the two hot ones, and I just dance by myself, obviously shutting the girl down. What would you do if you're buddies ask some girls to dance and you happen to be stuck with an ugly one?

Funny how the ugly ones get stuck with eachother.

2. Do you usually just walk up to a chick and start grinding or do you ask them if they'd like to dance? I was afraid if I just went up and started grinding that I'd get slapped.

How would you like it if some random guy came up to you on the dancefloor and started grinding you? There's your answer.

funnest part of dancing? LOL

oh god.

How could just dancing be funner than having your dick rubbing against some hot chicks ass?

There's one room that plays hip-hop/top 40, I wasn't in that room at all. I was in the room with trance and shit. And, I got better bitches later, I'm not gonna sweat getting shot down once. Shit, grinding ain't like it's a big deal, unless the girl is good at grinding and let's you feel up her titties and shit.

instead of planning just go along and do what feels right. try it.

Wow, I've never even been to a normal club where people grind, never mind a rave.

....Though I do do it occasionally with my gf when we're utterly trashed and dancing at home

LOL!!! true. *sigh* back in the day....*sigh*

When i get stuck with the ugly girl i just walk off and get myself a drink or stand at the side but whatever i do i make it clear i don't want to have anything to do with her because too often i've ended up being pesstered the whole night by the ugly ones.
