Party Vibe

Diferant drugs have diferant effects. I’ve been to rave’s totaly sober b4 and still been having it – if I had done K however would of been alot less likely to of been able to keep dancing/socialising as much as I managed sober (alltho a wee dab of mdma would of done the ticket! :laugh_at:). It’s more to do with peoples attitudes then the drugs … as after all, people will take a drug that suits them .. and in order for some one to prefer a certain drug to another .. they have to be in a certain mind set in the first place.

Alltho in saing that you have to contend with certain drugs adictiveness … I think alot of the people that take alot of k at the start of a rave and b4 it most likely are addicted but alot of the time abit like when ravers use heroin for comedowns. This stems from using k to either boost the floaty effects (h not used for this) of mdma and/or taking k for comedowns like I used to.

Now I’m not saing this is true for everyone … as blanket rules never aply imo, but I’ve seen this apply to more then one friend and to alot of people i’ve met out raving in the past.

I have only been to a few raves, unfortunately the most recent was easter bank holiday down near portsmouth, but that was VERY VERY well mannered.
Lots of different drugs were being taken by everyone and yet i didn’t meet anyone in a bad/unfriendly mood. Sure there were a couple of people stuck in a K-hole on the floor but there were 5/6 rigs pumping out good music from all corners. Acid house – hardcore – drum+bass – dubstep – trance. I for one had an amazing night!
Now im very young and dont know what the rave scene used to be like ‘back in the day’ but the only fight i saw was someone trying to beat up the speakers with his frosty jacks bottle :laugh_at:
I would happily go to ANY party/rave, that is legal/illegal irrespective, should the attitude be like that.

Wow so k and coke killed the rave scene, bullshit IMO.

So that means that pills were the only thing that could make people have a good time together, pretty SHIT state of affairs if you believe that.

PS Minimal is fat :p

If you don’t like the music or the drugs don’t ever fucking go to the parties simple. maybe the fact that you don’t enjoy it is due to you being the party pooper not everyone else.

You can’t pinpoint what changed the clubscene and I said said k & coke were amongst many factors…

I don’t care if I am one of those people that say it was better back in the day. To me… I’m right 😉 But I know I look back with rose tinted glasses.

I still love parties. They are just different now. I love/hate K but not in a club. It isn’t a very sociable drug. But drugs affect people differently. I would never look down on someone because they were in a hole. FFS I’ve done it often enough.

Saying all that… I do worry it is me becoming old 🙁

perhaps the more important question is why anyone thought the party scene would stay the same? when in fairness it was more in a state of constant evolution.

You would hope it would get better though.

I think another reason is that there was a bigger age gap between the ravers and folk in positions of real authority and power (cops, council officials, politicians etc). so the old folk were initially caught totally unawares by the whole scene and had no idea really how it worked or how to suppress it.

nowadays many of these authority figures are our age, and some were once party people themselves, saw their own peers have negative experiences, and want to control this culture, in many cases as much out of genuine shame at some of the things what went on in the past rather than out of spite or any conspiracies…

Interesting, what’s your opinion GL?
