Hardstyle is getting old though, no one seems to make good hardstyle songs nowadays.

Sad but true even though the genre isn't dead yet.

Headhunterz still makes some good songs now and then and Second Identity by A-lusion and Scope DJ was a pretty good move I think. They probably wanted to recreate something like Between World ;D I miss the old days though. With Showtek and all. Not forgetting the days when shuffle was at it's prime with Aaron

haha, i've had my share of not so awesome raves. After you start going to them, you start to notice which raves are worth going to. Multiple raves are usually hosted by the same group, so if you go to one and you liked it, expect their next one to be the same.

One thing that might give it away is the cost of the raves. I usually see it as really cheap or somewhat expensive. I haven't seen some sort of in between price yet. The cheap ones are usually because they aren't as well known, are in small clubs, and are full of people just rollin (on ecstasy). I've been to some expensive ones too. The excision rave, though it ended early, was like 4 hours long. It was held in a hotel, and included two main ballrooms turned into rave rooms, a pool area playing hardstyle, and an outside section for people who smoked. It had so much space there was no way you couldn't dance.

I went to a rave with a group of friends once (datsik i think?) and we were raving. I noticed this drugged up guy that had started to "pet" my female friend's furry rave hat, and my friend was frozen. I pushed the guy to the floor, and waited for him to get up. I'm disappointed he learned quickly and walked away, being drugged up and all. I was hoping to punch him straight in the face. The best part is, i'm not even tough. As long as no weapons are involved though, even the toughest guys on ectasy get their a** whooped.

You need to learn how to find the good raves, and how to deal with the bad ones. There is also a huge sense of plur (it's what ravers live by, at least at the raves. It stands for peace, love, unity, and respect). No one is there to fight, they are there to enjoy music and dance, whether taking drugs or not. I never see fights at a rave, and even if there was one, it'd be the best way to get shunned. No one wants a hardheaded person to ruin the fun.

Note: For the tl;dr people.

"go to the expensive raves, they are usually better."

where the ****s your plur?!

Re: Rave Culture?

Apparently people who are "drugged up" don't apply to plur.

Re: Rave Culture?

Seriously shoving the guy for petting a fuzzy hat and wanting to kick his ass? I think you've been to far less raves than you've stated.

Re: Rave Culture?

I go on a pretty regular basis, not as much as I used to though thanks to college. I usually try to go to Happy Hardcore, Gabber, Hardstyle, and Dubstep events. The area I'm in right now mainly has Electro/House events, which I don't like very much, so thats another reason I haven't gone to anything recently.

This was probably the best event I went to:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MluZusB4smM

It was massive; 8pm-6am, 10,000 people capacity.(no, thats not a typo)

The biggest names I've seen were DJ Irene, VNV Nation, Aeria, DJ Sisen, and Basshunter(which, as gay as it sounds, was actually pretty amazing lol)

I was supposed to see Showtek at an event I went to, but they canceled right when they were supposed to play because the event holders wanted to pay them with a check and they wouldn't play unless it was straight cash. -_-

Anyway, rave life is pretty cool, just don't get caught up in all the crap that can be involved. And btw, don't call yourself a raver if the only "raves" you've been to are ones at anime conventions. Not accusing anyone, but just throwing that out there :P

Geez I'm missing out =(

So you want to drag a petty eGrudge out of TGB and attack me personally in a forum category NOT made for such fun? What are you, the schoolyard bully? Get over yourself.

@Mans0n from what I understand, I am ineligible to deliver a baby with birth defects, and none of the side typical side effects have occurred to me. Yet. If I do start having problems I would seek an alternative but for now I feel great, I can worry about later, later.
What do you mean by "Good rave?" Do you mean when a big name artist has a concert? Or can a good rave be just your typical house/hardstyle club's Halloween dance party?

Re: Rave Culture?

Some things in this thread have upset me seeing as i am a die hard raver, and a DJ till the day I die. I am 17 and have gone to multiple events and even played at some. So here I go with quotes :P and if some of the point i make have already been made i appologise.

Good sir i like how you talk about wanting to beat someones ass. and then saying starting a fight at a rave is a good way to get shunned. This is quite ironic dont you think?

Alas, if 'rave culture' wasn't synonymous with 'taking my friends pills culture' I'd go to raves all the time.

Just because you go to a rave doesnt mean you do the drugs there. There are alot of sober ravers out there. I am one of them and alot of my good raver buddies are them to. So if people doing drugs is going to stop you from embracing a culture that is awesome than to me thats stupid. If you love a genre of music embrace it :P

That what I thought when i first got into Electronic music. You just have to find the scene where ever you live and go to them. Granted alot of the scene most palces are 18+ (I am lucky to have a nice all ages hardcore scene) but not all of them are 18+

and once you get to know people they are more willing to let you go to the 18+ events.

you just got to find them. And i can shuffle too ;D

I agree a billion times with this

Mad props

Now i will finally answer the first post :P just some things i wanted to say :P

So far the best rave i went to was Bright nights with No Left Turn. It was an all hardcore event and i met tons of my ood internet buddies and made so many friends. And the music was ****ing banging!!! That would be my unbiased answer :P my biased answer would be the ones i DJed at seeing as i DJed at them

My favorite DJs are.... Tiesto, Steve Aoki, Wolfgang Gartner, Sharkey, Cotts, Styles and breeze, and my boy Sylus (he knows how to mix the hardcore songs i love)

Re: Rave Culture?

Vegas raves need an age limit.
And a lot (not all) of them only got into raves because of the E.
Personally I don't like going because ravers here annoy me.
Love rave music, love dubstep/hardstyle.
Hate seeing half naked 13 year olds thinking they're hot shit because they're rolling.
A rave is about the music <3

Re: Rave Culture?
