| Okay, you have to get over this wierd assumption that everyone is directly attacking you and your opinion. The discussion has now moved past that and into the realm of general bias against ravers and the attitudes of straight-edgers and drug-users.
It is nice to know that you're not one of those people who judges others. I definately think that all the attitude and judging definately hurts the scene. But I don't subscribe to the whole "It was better in '95 attitude". It was just brand new and shinier. |

| we all live they we want to live
the best way to make the "scene" better is to cast off the cyncism that has plagued us for so long, life is beautiful (thats not just e-tard candy kid talk) if you don't think so then your not looking in the right places, admitily I think we are at some what of cross roads in the year 2004 as a cultural movement we've been going now for about 15-20 years, we have to decide where we wanna go from here, are we just a throw back to the 60s, or could we possibly succeed where they failed? |

| the only reason I'd say it was better in the past is because there was a point when people had to keep an ear to the ground to find out about shows... and the people that showed up were mostly people that really wanted to be there.
When people started stuffing flyers under windshield wipers they opened it up to a wider audience (which isn't necessarily a bad thing), but sometimes I wonder if it was the right audience.
As for the drugs issue... it's good to have fun exploring, but it's not-so-good when your fun becomes dependent on it. |

| Prog killed the rave scene. It's been statistically proven. God knows it almost caused me to run from the scene screaming like my head was on fire and my nuts were exploding and my ass was gushing blood and my ears were full of needles. |

| i been in the scene so long , i've been blasé twice. One of the good thing about the old times
is that everything was new to everyone, no one was jaded. Now my feeling is bitter sweet.
Here's something i wrote a while back from Ufot's thread "A new generation/breed of Ravers?"
(edited for this subject)
The scene will never be the same for the reason that it is progressing.
But you longed for your time; to be like it was...however you can't linger.
The problem might not lie with the new breed of younger ravers,
but more reflectively on your perception. You have to acknowledge the situation,
progress, and then achieve something. Rise High
The trance of today is nothing when compared to the Acid and Hard Acid trance of the early 90's |

| Hard acid is where it's at. That's the sound that got me to come to my first party in 2002. Nothing compares to the sound of oldskool hard acid. |
|
Coolness: 201240
| yeah I agree, hard acid rules |
|
Coolness: 299340
| my acid is harder than yours |

| once again, trance killed the scene. |

| I think what killed the scene is over-saturation. How many parties are there a month? How many club nights are there? It's not like you've got to wait 2-3 MONTHS in between events with good DJs, you can see any of them at the very least once a month. Saphir, Blue Dog, Amazone, IDJ, those psy-trance parties that are happening monthly, etc.. It's all lost it's "magic" because we get it too damn often to really apreciate it anymore. THAT'S what "killed" the "scene". Too much of a good thing untill it becomes boring and loses the apeal that it once had. |
