You might remember a ‘classic’ HRO post from 2k8 entitled ‘Rave or Die.’
Carles wrote:
Does any one else feel like RAVES are ‘authentic music festivals’? I feel like ‘music festivals’ should really just become drug-fueled parties where people dress in zany costumes and entrylevel alts attempt to find meaning by listening to music/dancing/’trying drugs 4 the first tyme.’
In the 2k9 edition of RAVE OR DIE, Carles will attempt to reconnect with ‘the essence of Rave.’ Who are these ppl/teens/Mexicalts in Southern California who attend raves? What do they want out of life? What personal brand are these ‘ravers’ attempting to implement?
As yall know, a rave is a gathering where ppl do a lot of drugs and listen to ‘the shittest’ kinds of techno/electro music. The women also kinda ‘dress slutty.’
It seems like ppl are trying to ‘return to their childhoodz’ by utilizing images+products from youth [via bracelets, necklaces, other trinkets, and even backpacks.]
‘I want 2 b a kid again.’
‘Wish I had a backpack full of ecstasy.’
Feeling sad that the ‘altbro’ aesthetic has finally made its way to rave culture. The spirit of the electro altbro is dead.
I think that it means some1 is ‘mad fucked up’ when their pupils are dilated.
It seems like ‘lollipops’ are also a good prop to chill with at raves. Not sure if I’d get caramel apple pop or blow pop. Not sure which 1 would ‘taste better’ while on E/acids.
The DJ played some ’sick shit.’ His DJ name was ‘DJ 420 Bob Dank Schwag Marley Bro.’
Got rlly ‘fucked up’ on E and gave DJ 420 a ‘beej.’ Regret it kinda.
But srsly… have u ever fucked while on ecstasy? (they say u can never have an orgasm without it 4 the rest of ur life)
Have u ever grubbed a funnel cake while on ecstasy?
I used the rave as an opportunity to connect with my nuclear family. My mom was the person who taught me how to use drugs, so even though she is ‘disabled’ I was able to bring her out and we ‘dropped’ 2gether. They say u don’t have a relationship with ur parent until u’ve ‘gotten fucked up’ with him/her.
‘Yes. I am a stereotype. I actually sell drugs to children and teenagers.’
‘We just came here because it was an environment that celebrated excessive drug use and gave us the opportunity to grope at bitches whose titties are hanging out.’
‘Dear Lord that’s a whole lotta curve.’
Got sad when my bff started 2 yack. Felt like she ruined the nite by ‘being a pussie.’
It seemed like the rave promoters ‘knew what they were doing’ since they rented a carnival ride.
a couple of my bros are starting a ‘party pic’ site. Really miss 2k7.5, back when there was a 1:1 ratio of ‘regular ppl’ to ‘nighlife photographers’ at every alt event.
Saw some AZN guy’s bulge.
Got sad when my friend ODed and we had to ‘dump her ass off’ on her parents doorstep even though she didn’t have a pulse.
‘I guess this is growing up.’
It honestly wasn’t my scene, but sometimes it is good to experience ‘lower class’ events. I feel more in touch with the SoCal Mexicalt demographic (even though I have an actual high school diploma and not a G.E.D.) It seems like a lot of authentic SoCal Mexicalts used to do ‘tons of farming’/'migrant working’, but it makes me happy to know that they have worked hard to give a better life to their 2nd and 3rd generation spawn.
I feel happy knowing that society is getting better and every1 is able to celebrate and be free.
Have u ever been 2 a rave? What are they like?
Is it an organic experience? What do drugs feel like?

Ecstasy seems ‘fun’–kinda like it makes you ‘happy’…since life is so ’shitty’ and ‘unbearable’. Seems like dancing would be ‘cool’ on it since I feel like a faggot dancing otherwise. Feel like I’d feel ‘obligated’ to ‘grind’ on some girl who was really sweaty/’thought I was hot’.

Sex on exstacy can be amazing. DOES NOT ruin sex or the ability to climax when not on e. In fact if I remember correctly (via I am no longer a kid in my experimental drug phase) you dont really cum on e. This means you can have sex on e for hours and hours. And hours.

@euro smoker, true. Im female and used to take MDMA powder quite a lot. Of the hundreds of trips I took, I can remember having sex while rolling just once. Rolling was always about experiencing love in it higest form and highest levels, which to me involves sexuality but not always intercourse. The sex that one time was otherworldly, and did last for about four hours.
Im glad I sought alt as a kid :)

at a rave u r supposed 2 expect lots of ppl spinning glowstix around, breakdancing, bumpin n grindin etc, making their own experience. but at tiesto/van buuuren/ dick van dyke shows seems like its always a bunch of ppl just looking the same direction at the stage because over half of them are not high enough to forget their inhibitions.
in a rave type venue might be ok but i know when they come to my town they play these mexican venues that are designed to milk workaday mexicans for all the $$$ they can get

Raves are fun, but only the massive festival style ones where most the people are normal, they just happen to rock raves a few times a year. But yeah you summed up all the sketchness accurately.
If you’re going to the shitty >3K ppl shows every weekend, it’s all strung out mexicalts and depressing white ppl drug addicts.
Also, lots of rich white kids (USC) go to raves, they can afford more / better drugs

i miss raves
they were so fun
the music was amazing
the puddles of massage kids would get stepped on by the dancers
the flooded bathrooms
lazers
big pants
breakdance battles
its like raving stopped and then no one came next
all the “hipsters” think “indie” rock is new, when its just the beatles redone 50 different ways
all the “blipsters” think “blip hop” is cool when they werent around the first time for electro and rap and the 80’s
raving was the last unified scene, after grunge, after pop, after metal, after punk, after nu-wave, after disco, after prog, after rock, after jazz, after blues, after classical
nothing came after ?
the music died with raves
nothing is new anymore
its all rehashed shit
at least ravers had their own culture, silly as it was.
we looked forward into the future.
we put down our guitars and picked up drum machines and synthesizers.
ask yourself.

hipster dont realize their culture is DIRECTLY influenced by raves via NEON COLORS and ELECTRO. the only thing hipsters dont have the ravers did was that PLUR bullshit. hipster dont give a fuck about eachother, they just want to look better than each other, look more hip than the next hipster next to him…like a metal head or punk being more metal or punk than the next metal head or punk. HIPSTERS are not self aware and thats silly.
ALSO HIPSTER
STOP ACTING LIKE WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS SOOOOOOOOOO FUTURISTIC. YOU ARENT USING CUTTING EDGE SOFTWARE/HARDWARE, STYLISTICALLY OR FUTURISTICALLY. ALL OF YOUR INFLUENCES COME FROM THE FUCKING 80S.

that looks like a stupid ass candy rave full of scummy as candy ravers. wouldnt be surprising if some hipster-alt found that shit to be kewl via NEON colors and other hip attributes. candy rave music sux, tho. electro/hardstyle/hardcore = terrible rave experience. the people are ALL on E and their neurons are so fried that they can’t do much else than pulsate to terrible ELECTRO music. if you want a authentic/spiritual experience (outside of a lack luster animal collective/grizzly bear show) check out BURNING MAN. BURNING MAN is absolute authentic BUT has succumbed to that stupid DUBSTEP movement. DUBSTEP = GARBAGE. why am i talking about raves in a stupid hipster blog? stick to your lame ass electro, fggtz.

Je veux faire la Danse de Tektonik à le “Rave” mais les battements est trop dure.
Je veux embrasser des garçons aux “Raves”.
Je veux danser toute la nuit, s’il vous plaît.
Je veux écouter des battements à 140 bpm, s’il vous plaît.
Je veux aller au Pays des “Nocturnal Wonderland”, s’il vous plaît.
Je pense que Carles est Conservateur et jamais vraiment expérimenté avec les drogues, donc il doit demande ce que c’est comme et postule.

raves aren’t that bad yes everyones banged up on like 5 drugs at a time but i’ve been to a few at this multi floor warehouse type place that were awesome 2 different floors 2 different types of music.
one was more house trance the other was more dance dubstep it was a great time.
it’s just a huge party with lasers and sweaty people…
