cant believe, norfolk parties are still being discussed!

are they all still moshing like twats, clambering all over the rig & rinsing shite hard trance & hard style?

Standard mate, personaly i hate it but alot of people round here love it. Bloody norfolk bumkins! :laugh_at:

I don’t really appreciate moshing as I prefer to dance. However, the first time I witnessed (around 2004) the often labeled “gay hand holding power up” thing that the younger ravers did it reminded me very much of happier and more unified days and I was pleased to see it.

Time will tell whether TooCoolTom is right but for me it’s changed a little too much. That said, I really do hope a new crowd in EA come through with the right attitude and that the free party scene is regenerated in a good way.

I nearly went to briston on nye for a party, wish i had of looked like a badaboy rave. No moshing, pro audio and tones of dnb <3

I love the way that a particular style of dancing is described as “dancing like twats”, when attending a rave, you generally see alot of people dancing in unusual ways, and it doesnt matter what end of the country you are in.
The idea of mosh being “gay” and confined to one group of people is rubish aswell, ive been to enough parties to know that people mosh everywhere.

Parties i have been to outside of norfolk, for me, have a compeltely different atmosphere. yeh they have your usual hippy ravers who go to every party, but there is also a LARGE percentage of chavs and ‘ard nuts who are the kind of ppl who wud rob u if u gave em the chance. (im not saying we dont have those kind of ppl in norfolk, but from experiance i find more at parties elsewhere)

The music is generaly pointed in the “everything-tek” direction whereas i prefer the verything oldskool and phat not new and electronic.

I mite like norfolk parties coz i know evry1 there, but its different when the bedford crews come out, and every1 from norfolk convoys to bedford. Then ive got all my friends at bedford party, but the atmosphere just aint the same.
When us Narrfukkers are in our own ends, we love to party and if that means we love to look “gay”, and “dancing like twats” then so be it, isnt the idea of being at a free party that you are free of inhibitions? ? ?

To GL

you are right about the fact that there are lots of rigs out there but they only have 2 or 3 main peeps who make it all happen. i know this because i speak from experience!
Every crew i know, there is one main sound techy, and 2 or 3 more ppl who have put money into the rig, and the rest of the crew who just mix or lugg speakers around!

Ive been to a party before (im not saying where coz i dont want the argument), basicly, different gangs of hard nuts turned up, and kind of seperated the car park into areas where they tried to dominate selling drugs and nos, the thing was, all their drugs were fake or shit, and the nos wasnt real nos. So they were there just to rip ppl off and intimidate them.

moshing is shite! true fact for the follwing reasons

1) it stops people who do not want to be in the mosh from joining the dancefloor, for fear of a sweaty person crashing into them
2) if free parties are about expression of ones self, how is standing in unison doing the same thing promoting that!
3) you cant see sexy raver girls clearly
4) damage to speakers – moshing will normally cause all the shite on the dancefloor to be kicked into the bins
5) knocking a stack over, theres a great example on youtube & gues what it was in norfolk!
6) other people who do not want to mosh are prohibited from dancing

I dont really have a problem with moshing i just dont take part in it and avoid the partys that will only be playing hardtrance etc.

i just think its sooooooooo out of touch with the spirit of free partying.

hard trance is not for me, however it does have a 4×4 so i can have a dance for about 40 mins!

there is some jolly good trance out there

mark eg imagination 1996/1997 helter skelter – that set is wicked!
