hahaha, this is old news, I've quitted warcraft quite a while ago.

Raves always were about having fun without worries. Who cares if some people think we're losers. The beauty of it all is that you don't get judged whatever you do (in theory). Of course, this isn't always the case, but the general vibe at good parties is one of acceptance. It's this same acceptance we must keep alive.

hahaha, j'ai l'impression que je vais me saouler solide!

hahahaha I actually got fooled at twisted wave 2 when mille pattes jumped behind the decks, I tought you would do it.

I know a lot of you silent kids love happy hardcore

A SPOON! A SPOON! A SPOON!

TORTURE HER WITH A FUCKIN SPOON, THE FUN WILL LAST LONGER!!!!

hahaha, this just made my day!

One thing I've noticed is that a lof of ravers where unpopular in school, or never truly enjoyed a good relationship with their parents. Raves, in a way, give these people the affection they couldn't get as a child. For someone who never really felt loved, a big party where everyone is friendly is paradise. I speak from personnal experience, and from what I've heard other ravers say.

Ironicaly, a big part of this feeling dissapearing does have something to do with drugs. A few years ago, people where taking Ecstasy at raves. Nowadays, everyone is into speed. While E made people friendly and open minded, speed just makes them dance. That's why the vibe just isn't as good, but people always want their music as hard and fast as possible.

Just wanna add that this is an amazing thread! :)

I always find it funny that people will line up for hours to get a first generation console that's probably full of bugs. Or maybe it's just me who doesn't really give a shit. :p

hahaha, wtf

To answer your question, yes raves still happen. Some jaded people will tell you that it's dead, just don't listen to them. Sure, raves aren't as big and popular as they used to be, but you don't need 1000 people to have a good vibe.

As for the "drugs vs plur" question, I think it all depends. Some people are in it for the drugs, some for the music, and some for the people. Any scene must show at least some form of peace, love, unity and respect in order to survive. Not a lot of people say "plur" anymore, since the word did lose it's meaning over the years, but the values are still there, though granted, not as strong as it used to be.

As for the drugs, It all depends on the party, some ravers are in it to get high, but I think most people go to parties because they enjoy the vibe and the music. For someone who's just looking for a way to get high, afterhours are more easily accessible.

Probably a hoax.

xmas = lots and lots of booze!

It is a pretty good article. It's always cool to see new people discovering the scene. :)

Hahaha, it would be worth it just to hear you play hhc! :p

Let's have a tribute to shooting star set, where a dj will play all the versions.....NOT :P

Hahaha, Montreal's probably the city where people hate Shooting Star the most.

Yeah, I haven't seen it yet either. I'll probably download it.

Great party, Venue was a bit small, so I didn't stay in the main room for too long. I had fun chilling though.

Great party. Nice people and nice beats.

It is just a movie, but I can perfectly understand why the Kazakhstan government would react this way. For the record, I would probably find it even funnier if someone did a similar movie about Canada.

this is fucked up

House music is part of raves.

I was talking about Groove, lol, sorry
