So lately I've noticed that raves are becoming more an more popular (though very different than the ones in the 90s). I myself don't see anything wrong with them and I quite enjoy listening to the music.

I started to wonder what other peoples opinions are, so, what do you guys think?

Pop an E and shake your glow stick. Don't forget your pacifier.

Crappy music, strange drugs, strange clothes and generally disgusting people? No thanks.

I admit my knowledge of Raves is limited to pictures of girls with pacifiers and pink fishnets and that one episode of Skins where Effy goes to a rave and gets kidnapped, so her brother has to save her.

They're pretty much just nightclubs that don't stop at 2 in the morning and everyone is doing E or other stuff.

Basically if I wanted to hang out in a sea of sweat and boners I would go to Comicon.

The rave scene is ok, but it's nothing to rave about.

Harry, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it. Don't wait for it. Just let it happen. It could be a new shirt at the men's store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot black coffee.

If you want to hang around in a dark room with flashing lights, and repetitive electronic music with a bunch of strangers without the drugs you go to an arcade. Ahh how I miss the 80's.

The arcades have been making a comeback though.

All in all, Arcades > Raves.

The best part of a rave is watching a few hundred/thousand people all wearing nothing but white and all heading in the same direction. They look like right tossers they do. Especially with their dummies and glowsticks hang off their necks and wrists.

I'll stick to gigs in dingy pubs with bad lighting and cheap jugs if its all the same to everyone else.

Sorry, but I read your post in a British accent (despite that you are indeed Australian), and it just sounded perfect. Like something off a channel four soap opera.

Even if that's true, I would be going there for the drugs and then I would leave.

I really hate the rave scene and E....it killed the LSD scene

When you suffer a Falling Sky hit, roll a D6 - on a 4+ the hit is ignored as per the Pinch of Salt save. On a 1-3 panic insues - you automatically fail common sense tests for the next 2 weeks and get +7 to your negativity stat. -Praxiss

I just just turned 18 in September and I've been to a few, I like the girls and that's about it. The loud music gives me a fecking headache.

I now feel slightly old because I said that.

I must say the first one was very good but the lyrics absolutely ruined the second one. Oh, and the only thing the old school raves were missing is hardstyle.
