Well I am a preppy Banana Republic boy who probably has more progressive and breaks music than most of thes kids on here. I love to go clubbing and raving. If it is a rave then i will bust out the phat pants and tear it up. My phat pants will never leave me as long as i am in the scene no matter how preppy I like to dress.
Peace Out in the 00

Ah, that is a great movie, my friend. I remember watching it at the age of 10 when my parents rented it; funny then, but it's amazing to watch it again and again as I age, since I always seem to pick up on something new.
 
Diversity... huh?
WELL....
I'm a gay, white male...
sure, I may go to raves... but most of the time, I am a Computer Science student, at a provincial university.
I dress fairly concervativelyly... or at the very lest what I wear is "classy" and I ususaly wear these clothes to raves too.
I have ELECTRIC blue hair...
I recently, (for christmas) baught myself a skirt, with silver dragons up the leg (it's just SWEET) and I wore that to 2 raves.
I'm into Progrssive house/Speed Garage, and Happy Hardcore music.
I don't concider myself a HUGE raver, but I do concider myself a bit strange....
I think that you'll find alot more diversity here than you think.

i think this board is very diverse...it just so hapens that we're all here because we have something in common and tend to talk about it, but that doesn't mean that we don't all have lots of other stuff going on in our heads adn in our lives.

I may lose much respect for this, but I never go to raves.
I take pills with friends, in a house or down the pub.
Diverse?
(and yes, i am a computer geek)
 
Ok, I have a REAL problem with this.
Why the fuck are people so concerned with being 'diverse' as you put it?
Why do people worry so much about being different?
I am SO fucking OVER people trying so fucking hard to be 'different'.
Just do what you have to do to get by. Wear what you have to wear to be comfortable...and if you feel like wearing something that isn't comfortable because you think it looks nice, FUCKING wear IT! Listen to the top 40, if you like a song, fucking play it in the presence of others, its not such a big deal.
Hopefully if we all just do what we 'like' to do, without whinging about being different, then maybe, things'll all balance out in the end.
The funny thing is, all the people who try to be different, all end up looking like each other.
Don't feel so bad if you bend slightly under the pressure of society. People don't care. YOU care more about YOU than other people do. They don't care about you. They don't care if you're cool or not.
People think rock stars (for lack of a better term) are so cool because it seems like they don't give a shit about what society thinks. Bullshit I say. They're doing it for your benefit. So you'll think they're cool. it's all about public image.
Sure I care about what some people think. I'm also not ashamed to admit it. I care about the way I look. But the most important thing, regardless of whether the latest fashion trends influence me or not is that *I* do things because *I* like them. If I end up looking like everyone else, then so fucking be it. I really don't give a flying fuck.
It's just not a major issue in my life. I'm not into trying to prove my individuality. I think that should shine through no matter what.
Hopefully it does for all of you aswell.

I grew up on the Hardcore Punk scene & still listen to the music & go to shows, my girlfriend introduced me to E & clubbing but I can still enjoy both. I think that's pretty diverse coming from a scene filled with anger & violence & being able to adjust to a scene filled with smiles & sharing ( which wasn't that difficult I must say )

To w33k4p4u9...what ever gave you the idea that there ISN'T any diversity on this board? How are you defining "diversity"? Do you mean racial/ethnic diversity? In which case, how would you even be aware of anyone's nationality/background on here unless they told you? And why is it even an issue?
I am not vying for the title of "world's biggest raver", as you imply - and I would imagine that is true for most of the members of this board.
I suppose to you, we're all just a bunch of wannabes and poseurs with our big pants, glowsticks and binkies. We can only dream of someday being like YOU: The only true-to-the-game king of rave who's picture is next to the definition of "old-school". For the record, I don't consider myself a "raver", having never been to a rave...nor do I aspire to be one. Hell, I don't even own a pair of big pants...and isn't that part of the uniform? By the way, for the kids on the short bus, that was sarcasm.
Before you go and classify a group of people, maybe you should make an effort to get to know them first as individuals. What you are doing is commonly known as "stereotyping".
Go on ahead and park yourself permanently in the chill-out room...be my guest...I'm sure there's much more diversity there.
And Amen to everything mona said.
