Are raves only fun if you are high?
 

I am not a fan of illegal drugs and the only option on the alcohol front was a really horrible beer and whisky.

6 hours of techno with no buzz is a really bad thing. It was something new and I got laid. All was good but I have no intention of ever doing it again.

Example -

Thunk thunk thunk .. ten minutes or so
DJ scratches the turntable a bit, crowd cheers
Thunk thunk thunk .. ten minutes or so

well if you enjoy the music you can have fun?

That shit was huge when I was in college. I still can't believe the distances we drove at times and the screwed up places we went. Standing around on a damn sidewalk or out in the middle of nowhere waiting for someone to pass out directions.

I'm officially old because I was trying to think of a dollar amount it would take to get me to a rave now, and I can't come up with one. I don't even like going to regular clubs anymore. :1orglaugh

i feel you on that one girl

raves are only fun if cartman plows in and grinds up all the ravers with his hippie grinder and puts reign in blood into the cd player :2 cents:

take a camera and snap all the 1/2 naked drugged up cuties dancing

I am old too so maybe that is the issue. I like clubs though. This was less of a rave of the old days and more of a club with lots of exctasy and pot. And techno.

aaahhh,
I'm with Holly on this... Waiting on the garage forecourt for directions, then joining the party train as it snaked through the tiny country roads of Lancashite. Sometimes (more often toward the end of the 80s), the police had gotten wind and were blocking access at the tinest point on the road. Fun watching hundred of revellers trying to do 3-point turns w/o squashing any sheep.

Ah, the mammories.

Stopped all that nonesense in '96, but it was great fun!

My friend goes to raves all the time and he never took anything hard in his whole life...

Yea, raves were fun 5 years ago ... even sober.

Where you failed was you were not seeing the full scene, 1/2 naked girls unsure of themselves ready to F whoever seems the coolest. add drugs to that mix and it's some great sex!

Ecstacy definately makes it alot more fun...

It's people like you that are killing the scene... going sober to try and pick up high girls and get laid? Pretty pathetic IMO.

Raves are great, the music is way uplifting!

But always a million% better when you're high...

There just aren't enough good raves in the UK...

must be....

well seriously if you want to have a great time, its better on E or speed :)

Raves can be a good time without drugs. But like any party, its better if your fucked up on something, alcahol is fine :thumbsup

long as there is a break circle it is all good with or without drugs:2 cents:

They might be more fun.

I cant imagine to listen any music without beer in my hand hehe

i know some people that go sober, but dancing from 11pm till 6am, you have to be on some drugs.

Going to raves or clubs are fun if I have my friends with me. It sucks to go there alone unless if you're too drugged to care.

Cannot fault that logic - ONLY thing missing in that equation is GOOD friends that you can be TOTALLY relaxed around.

Drugs are about the attitude you take them with and the people you are with when you take them IMHO.

:2 cents: :thumbsup

There are still raves going on? I thought they died in the 90s. Maybe thats because I stopped doing large quantities of drugs and going to them. I could have swore the world revolved around me... Who knew?

I never got into the rave scene

music can get you high too you know...

I thought raves where suppose to be about expressing yourself and not about the DJ and other bullshit. But its changed over the years to be a concert setting. The 'rave' is dead son

wow. are "raves" still around?

I'd be upset at your accusing me of something when you don't shit about me or what I've done ... if the scene hadn't been dead for years already.
It's been almost a decade since the rave scene was worth defending, or even talking about ...

it's like going to a bar, and not drinking...

I know lots of people who like rave and dance rave only under some stronger dope.

Partying wil never be good without booze and good music on it. :pimp

emm.. how can anyone on this fucking board say that picking up girls in any way shape or form is "pathetic"? what matters is whether you scored or not. the rest is bullshit. sex is pretty much a free for all these days. those high sluts come there and they're high on E and they wanna fuck and you're actually doing them a fucking service.

and yea lemme break it down to ya. there's nothing idealistic about raves in reality. people come there for 1) music 2) drugs 3) dancing 4) sex People come there to dance, be high and fuck. OK? Now what's the point of even defending or attacking "the scene" then? It either satsifies your lowly needs or it doesn't. And that's personal.

Period. The collection of 15 cans of food to send to the homeless doesn't change shit.
