The following is a quote from a post I made on a local rave forum.
personally… I wouldnt cry if the chemical aspect of our culture went away, I’ve never indulged in it anyways… but… I would certainly rather IT than alcohol. And as far as the strength in numbers…. well.. that works when you have great numbers… unfortunately for those numbers despite what the post statistics on this forum may say, it’s not extremely viable. This forum is definitely NOT a microcosm of the edm scene. Most of the kids who just wanna go have a good time could give a damn less what any of the worn out ex ravers longing for the scene they remember through clouded recollection have to say. Seriously so many of us started raving way before we were 18, why should it be any different for the ravers today? And while it wasnt really mentioned in this thread, I guess I’ll breach the can of worms… While happy hardcore dont do much of anything for me, I get it. Are all of you seriously turning into such geezers that you cant remember loving a kind of music because of how it spoke to you regardless of what the older generation thought? Are you really that out of touch that you dont hear yourselves sounding like the parents who blasted rock and roll as ruckus and noise and their kids who grew up to pontificate against hiphop? You are all old and becoming the parents who many of you struggled so hard against. Do as I say, not as I do, and TURN OFF THAT NOISE!!! Why can’t you listen to REAL music?
