What has the rave scene come to? :(

jesus christ, if you go by this logic then you can say that the few IDIOTS that died whilst among the influence of MDMA characterizes people that roll. Seriously, 2 guys rape 1 girl, at a club/rave. How many times has this happened before this? It's rare so you can't say that it happens all the time....
 
What the hell is wrong with people?!

Anyway....they still throw raves?? I stopped going back in '99...the last Zen in FL. Last good one anyway. I honestly didn't know the scene still existed.

You didn't know the rave scene exists? I haven't even been to one and I know it still very well exists, all over the world. Never seen the kids with colorful bracelets? Stop living under a rock...
 
Gatorgirl, I'd agree with you in many cases, but there are definitely plenty of real raves going on today. I started going in the later 90s and definitely watched the scene wither away to a shitty commercialized watered down version of the raves I went to. Where I live now though, just a couple times a year, I go to events that remind me of exactly what I loved so much when I first started going. IMO they are even better, because the production quality has improved. There are lots of huge events (Ultra for example, and I grew up in South Florida, I went to like 6 of them before anyone attacks me for saying it) that I laugh at when people consider them raves - raves don't have 80 dollar tickets and 5 dollar water bottles for starters. That said, I can tell you what what I go to now (and I'm soooo selective, I'm way too old to be wasting money on stupid shit) definitely are raves and I doubt you'd disagree.
 
Haha, I love Rabbit in the Moon. I've seen them SOOOOO many times. One thing Florida always had was damn good music. Live Performances a plenty... unlike anywhere else. Things got so lame there though. Everyone got too cool for raves, and as much as I hate the word "vibe" it really sucks there now.

I moved up to the northeast, and at first there wasn't much, but now it seems things are really blowing up again. I love the parties up here, they are so much fun, just like the "good ol' days" . The crowd is older too, like 20's and 30's... right up my ally. There was a while when I definitely thought I was done with raves, but not anymore. I only go a few times a year, but it's seriously so much fun I can't imagine stopping for years to come, as long as they continue the way they are.

I know people won't like this comment, but if there's one place I hate "raves" it's California. Wayyyyy too commercial, overpriced, over rated djs, way too many 14 year olds in padded bras... not my scene at all.

500-1000 people partying till 7 in the morning at warehouses and other venues.

Multiple rooms of sound

Bottled water for $2, full sizes bottles. Also openly available taps where water is free.

Fire performances, like on the scale of a 9 person fire circus in the middle of a warehouse. Choreographed fire performances. Fetish preformances in the dubstep room (to scare away the brostep people).

Two beautiful women up on top of a speaker shaking ass to darkpsy while 700 people below them are going crazy.

People go to the kind of parties we have here and unless they are the "drugs r bad" kind of people, everyone we introduce to this scene loves it. Its the most fun thing most of these people have ever done. They thank us for introducing them to this culture.

There was a "Blood Ritual" with a promoter doing a performance of theatrically stabbing and covering topless women in blood in the main room completely under strobe light.

A couple had sex in the main room in the open vicinity of 800 people.

Another person got naked and was beating off furiously while being covered in whipped cream. Disturbing? A little, but who am I to tell others what to do with their own lives?

And this was my Halloween. Do these parties cross lines? Maybe a little, but i am ok with that because i hate how "normal" the club scene and all the other parties are...

To this date, i have been in the scene for 2 years now, and i have not seen a single violent fight. We all know, love, and respect each other at least enough to get along for the night. Its a place where you can be as weird as you want to be and no one will judge you for it. Its happy, social, loving, and accepting.

Very first rave I went to was in Daytona and I was 14!! That was before age regstrictions so you know it was a loooong time ago...the clubs used to be like that in Orlando, stay open til 7am. Anyway I had soooooo much fun it was crazy! First time takin ecstacy too. Was too scared to try it around a bunch of people so I dropped acid then did the ex after. But I fell in love with the whole scene. You'd see cops and they could care less that you were high. It was our 60's :)

My first rave was at 14 too! I know exactly what you're talking about...
 
if i ever see anyone raping anyone I will fucking beat the fuck out of them,
I walked in on some guy fucing a girl and she yelled help me get him away and i told him to stop be he didn't. So i kicked him in the chest super hard and then pulled him away and punched him repeatedly in the face. the girl and me are erally good friends now. I think anyone who rape a person should be beaten to a fucking pulp and put in jail for life.

People having sex at a rave is trashy. Save that shit for your hotel room when you're alone.

They keep that shit under control where I live. My boyfriend and I were "spoken to" when we got a bit carried away on a chair in the vip area, but we weren't having sex, I was rolling for the first time and he ended up with his hand up my skirt. The security guard admitted he actually watched for a while, lol. Which really didn't bother me.

The nature of humans is to take advantage unfortunately and someone somewhere will always be trying to do it. What happen to this girl in BC, where was her group at the rave? Why did her friends leave her alone? Your group is what makes it really fun and I don't think the people that did that to her could be punished enough. I don't know if people observing were just stupid and thought she wanted it, but someone should have realized that she was at the very least being taken advantage of horribly and stepped in.

Lol that sounds like around here too. I noticed after a month or so of going to the headline DJ shows at the overpriced clubs, I've basically seen them all already, every 1-2 months they just repeat again, it's always the same people. I mean they are fun but they are expensive as hell to go to (9 dollar waters too), and having to dress up just to get in the door is a PITA especially when it's hot as heck.
 
^^^ It's more than that. There's still good music being played in FL, but the crowd has changed. It did a long time ago.

One thing about raves today that I really like is that rave hysteria seems to have mostly subsided - except in Cali cause of all that crap that went down at EDC. Ugh. Anyway, I remember when they started getting shut down all the time, and there were rave and ecstasy specials on the news all the time. No one seems to care anymore and it's nice.
 
this is awful, i remember reading about it.

"rave" has become such a dirty word for EDM.... and politicians like to use events like this to push their agenda.

i had a friend who was roofied in a bar and was hospitalized the next day. clubs and bars are a much more likely place to drug girls yet the rave scene somehow get all the bad attention.

one girl dies at EDC, and there's an almost instant rush to try to ban raves... but there are drunk drivers on the road every night after going to bars and clubs, yet there's no push to do anything about it.
 
This is horrible news! It hurts to know there are ppl out to do such bad to others.

And about the reason no one helped out. .....

I saw a show call "what would you do? " and it was basically giving clips of events in which ppl died due to the fact that no one helped out .

There was a man that was attacked by a gang , he got knocked out on the side walk floor of a commercial street and 166 ppl passed by and NO ONE DID ANYTHING no one called the police or check up on him. After awhile of just laying there DEAD on the street someone eventually called for his help.
Ppl seem to want to ignore ppl in help or in need. Shows how society nowadays is!

Sorry foxy but the rave scene died a long time ago. I live in south fl and you know damn well there isn't any raves left down here .

I do agree that the scene in cali is way to commercial and way to mixed up. Also causing to much commotion in the media
Especially with this thizz movement.

Its plur fools!

I disagree with you on the ultra part tho. Ultra is a massive not a rave! Were once a year ALL THE BEST TOP DJS of all electronic genre come together. And trust me its costly but that's how you avoid unnecessary ppl going, To pay $300 you really have to wanna go. It is also drug use friendly as long as your not selling/buying you can be shooting up h on the grass and the cops wont tell you shit smoke in front of security cops they cant do shit! That's love! The only thing u see there are ods. I paid a few hundred bucks last year to see faithless , avb and smoke a fat blunt while doing so.

And it was worth every penny

Real raves are dead!
 
Sorry Monkey, but real raves absolutely do exist up here, like I said, and if you went to one of the events I'm talking about, you definitely wouldn't disagree. Living in South Florida doesn't really give you much of an opinion on events up here, because in South Florida, they fucking blow and have for years, which I said so I'm not really sure why you were trying to call me out on that or something...
 
I agree with foxxy, raves aren't dead. Ime the less commercialized the events are the more PLUR you find.
