Raving is a lifestyle
One of the most rapidly expanding scenes in the world is raving. The dictionary defines "Rave" as To utter in madness or frenzy; to say wildly; as, to rave nonsense, which makes you wonder why raves were ever called raves to begin with, unless of course you have been to one. I will never forget my first experience at a rave. Media portrays Raves as cesspools of filth, sex and drugs, so naturally I was very nervous about attending my first party. We sit in a circle inside the party with the lights and music assailing my senses and take out the pills. I stare at mine and sweat nervously. I have never really done drugs before, and I am going to put a pill in my mouth that someone that I do not know has manufactured in their basement. Little did I know that this was a common theme in the scene, quality control for basement pharmaceuticals is a difficult thing. I down the ecstasy and wait nervously for some thing to happen to feel something that had been extensively described to me, but for which I still had no idea what to expect for words can do it no justice. After forty minutes, I start to stand up to get some water, and before I know what is going on, I am already standing. It feels like I hav
The Rave scene is changing rapidly, mostly because of the availability of drugs, and the word of mouth popularity of the parties. In the year that I have been partying, everything seems to have changed. Now the raves are mostly full of kids, the average age being around seventeen, and the more mature ravers, like myself, have moved to rave clubs like Government, System Sound Bar and Smaller parties that are more exclusive. Because of the massive increase in people partying, the drugs are getting to be worse quality and some contain some crazy stuff that is not supposed to be there that is injuring my friends. The music is evolving and splitting like a paramecium to grow with the changing scene and more individual tastes. Electronic music has transformed into many subgroups, such as Jungle, Trance, Progressive Trance, Booty House, House, Happy Hard Core and many more. I do not like the way that the young kids are getting so out of hand. I wonder how many parents know their fifteen year old is out at a twenty thousand person party blowing basement pharmaceuticals up their noses every weekend, doing drugs they have never heard of, let alone know anything about. Ecstasy is not the only drug consumed at parties, although I frequently wish it were. The scariest are Crystal Meth, which is the dirtiest most addictive drug going, is also very popular. It makes you very jittery and can easily keep you awake for two days or more. There are too many young kids that do not know the dangers of the drugs they are getting into that are addicted to this horrible drug. The next bad one is GHB, more commonly known to the public as a date rape drug. The problem with this is that it is incredibly bad for you, and the difference between one cap and two is unconsciousness, and two and three can cause a temporary coma that is impossible to wake someone from for one or two hours. Special K or Ketamine is very popular amongst the eastern crowd, and it is a horse tranquilizer that is a disassociative, causing all strait lines to go curvy. The more I party, the more I have to ask myself if the s
