The government really does manage to brainwash a lot of people

Do you know that weed was made illegal in the states initally because cotton farmers saw the hemp industry as a serious competitor and not because of cannibis resin's 'thereputic' qualities.

BTW before you think I'm endorsing this stuff, I don't do any drugs. I have a hard enough time handling reality as is.

so...uh...what exactly is a "rave?"

Why would anyone want extreme happiness in the first place anyway?

I pride myself on being demented WITHOUT the use of mind-altering drugs.

You are not alone there...

A rave is basically an all-night dance party with techno music.

I'm surprised so few people here go raving.

[demon442]

Like the music, go to as many as I can(thats not that many...).

NOTE: I prefer trance\ambient to house\D&B.  Its less chaotic and more relaxed.

Hmm? What? Raves? Couldnt stand one probably...
I like techno, but it would drive me insane after a while...

The rave scene died in England in the mid 90's, just go clubbing instead, its inside, warmer, less muddy and less chance of being buggered by the Pigs.

As for Ecstacy mucking you up, i dont do any drugs at all but me mates do. Its become such a habit for them that they have a **** time unless they are off their head on the stuff. As a fan of the music genres i feel it would be a bit depressing to not enjoy the clubbing for the atmosphere and the said music.

I go to rave party's.....

It's cool !

All i do is drinking and smoking.

[Fineus]

If only they played rock or similar instead of dance music or trance.... I know people enjoy that kind of thing but I just can't cope with that kind of music. It's way to repepitive and ends up giving me a headache. The day they start playing RATM at clubs is the day I become a clubber. Till then? No thanks

Er, they do play Rage at clubs... you just have to go to the right clubs.

Find me one in Worthing and I'll send you large sums of cash money...

[wEvil]

Find me a pure trance club anywhere in the UK and i'll....be a very happy man.

Normally I have to settle for putting my own music on at volcanic volumes, clubs cost too much for a student like me and as Mr.Carrot said, raves are hard to come by in the UK.

Personally, I like smoking (tobacco) and drinking when i'm going out.

Cannabis can have adverse effects (I start seeing at 3 frames a second and it usually accentuates my hangover)

E's and harder stuff I don't touch - the euphoric feeling you get off an E tab I get when i'm pissed enough anyway!  plus the fact the three latter options cost an arm and a leg.  literally if you've got an unpleasant dealer

I see now; I thought it was something where you got yourself really drunk and then started "raving."

I'm surprised so few people here go raving.

hey, I hardly ever go out anywhere.

Hehe, that joke is lost on most people Pera, I keep having to point out the Pac man link

Send me the large sums of cash money and I'll open a club that plays the kind of music you want.

I'd rather go to something like Snow Jam....
And I missed that in Halifax and Vancouver
I wanted to see 54-40 and Jimmy Eat World...

[saturn114]

yeah i think raves are gret me and girl went to she poped a pill and went boom,
istayed away from those drugs of course
it was nice to dance and have fun but i hate  drugs

[Stealth]

weeelll, i think i may have only gone to one rave in my life... but i know a lot of people that like travel out of state to go to 'big' raves

i just didn't like the atmosphere... those teens with those laser things that they wave around in their hands and all... and all the 'bangers' as they call them


i dunno... i heard there's a lot of drugs that get around in raves and such

[penguin]

I'm too frikkin old.  I'd probably have a stroke or something.

Just got back from the Reading Festival and saw the Prodigy on the main stage, something like 50'000 people, now that's what i call a rave
