and all I can say is that clubs have completed their transformation and have reached their final form of complete and utter wastelands of bottomless emptiness. Not even the drugs can hide these people's dark voids anymore. Rave is officially dead. It was already dead 3 years ago but the pandemic has officially put the final nail the coffin. It's over.
picrel is from samurai jack and the rave; I used to think it was a bit of an unfair representation of raves, but now that I look back on it, it has become reality.
So I went clubbing for the first time in what 3 years

take note that I was 100% sober. This is not a big deal for me, I've done it for years and always managed to have a good time... but nowadays even the artists... I don't know what it is, but the music doesn't translate to the floor. For some reason, they always play the hardest, dead sounding stuff they can find to the point that it becomes amusical and devoid of any emotion other than the feeling of being brutalised. Impossible to connect your body to the sound and let go. I'm at a loss bros. I used to love dancing. But now.. fuck... this is really bad.
My guess is that professional DJ's themselves are so exposed to these energies in clubs, every week, that they themselves lose a piece of their soul and this then translates in the music that their playing. Which is fucking strange because if you go back years into their discography and listen to their old stuff, there is so much emotion there, so much life!
This is really bad bros... I'm serious

I haven't been for close to twenty years now and they were shit back then too. Worst part for me was how loud the music was, it was almost impossible to talk to anyone

you don't go to raves to talk to people bro. Dancing is a form of meditation. Or at least it used to be. If you want to talk, go to a bar.

Any Forums has taken it's toll on you normie-user, now shit like this is boring and unappealing to you. Or maybe you just grew a pair and now is tired of partying with your hippie faggot friends.

I mean... even the druggies are messed up. When I was a kid and did my experiments with MDMA, I would literally hug everyone in sight, even people I didn't know. And no one ever complained.
But now these kids are high out of their mind on MDMA and whatnot but they are so distant, so fearful, lost inside their own head, etc...
MDMA used to make even the shittiest human beings loveable... what is happening? I mean seriously... what are they putting in these drugs nowadays?

bro, I was researching 9/11 at age 13 go fuck yourself. I was red pilled before the concept of the red pill even existed.
Dancing is meditation, good music does wonders to the soul. And exchanging good vibes with people is refreshing.
I'm telling you; yes in the past there were degenerates at parties too, but the majority was in a state of ecstasy, the energy in the rooms would burst. There was LIFE. Chaotic and beautiful.
But now.... it's just DEAD. It's not even hedonistic or degenerate, it's just DEAD. Fucking DEAD.
Lincoln Price
You silly zoomer. rave culture died around 2005-2008 when the RC drug market overtook legitimate mdma sales.
Hunter Jones
Raves are for drugged up people to dance, fuck, and trip out to music/lights
Oliver Wood
i went to some nightclubs, but most were so shit it was kinda sad. most a bunch of losers thinking about which girl to approach instead of having good music and dancing. non pagan culture doesnt know how to party, orgies need to come back so people can forget about the sex becoming the meaning crisis

The red pill concept is from the matrix which came out 23 years ago. Are you really older than 36 and trying to go to raves? kek

finally an interesting post. Care to elaborate?
Austin Ross
wasn't it always that way? and for the music part, maybe it sounds that way to you because you're old. now making soulless hyperpop beats is cool
Jason Walker
What do you mean with dead? Are they just lying around high on drugs or what? user, time kills things and maybe your impression and passion for rave just died. It's probably you who got damaged from the rigors of time and not the people who go to this shit. Maybe I'm wrong. Anyways, it has always been and continues to be a degenerate central. I can't imagine how this shit can give you ecstasy except if you take mdma and slowly die inside.

Raves died like 25 years ago user

>and for the music part, maybe it sounds that way to you because you're old
it's about emotion bro. either it is there in the music or it isn't. It's an objective thing; you either feel something or you don't.
>I can't imagine how this shit can give you ecstasy except if you take mdma and slowly die inside.
that's the whole point; in the past you could actually find parties that featured artists who were truly soulful and emotional in their performance. And dancing to this shit was amazing and the entire room would buzz, electrified, it would open up people, you would look into each other's eyes and smile and just know that this was a beautiful moment.
These parties don't happen anymore. It was already a rarity before the pandemic, but I fear now it has become even worse. Even the drugs don't seem to be working anymore.

>Are they just lying around high on drugs or what?
it's like the light inside of them is not there. I mean it's there, I see it, but they don't see it.

Clubbing/raving peaked in the 90s, everything after that is just a commercialized product. Even the """underground""" events are merely hoping to capture 5% of the magic from the past and still obviously failing at it.

mostly agree; however, if you really look for it hard, you can sometimes stumble upon a gem. But mostly, these moments are really unexpected.
David Lewis
Maybe it's depression? I hope others aren't like me, but if I'm being realistic it's not so far fetched to assume that a lot of people today are depressed and hide it. The world is just this fucked at the moment that there's nothing to truly cherish except if you are exceptionally lucky and got a good wife, great honest supportive friends and/or are financially stable.

>Even the """underground""" events are merely hoping to capture 5% of the magic from the past and still obviously failing at it.
but this really saddens me. I know many here will attribute it to muh nostalgia etc but it is not. Human's ability for festivities has been killed. There is something sacred about festivals but it has completely and utterly been destroyed and it is has become something ugly and hideous. And dear god, it weighs heavy on my heart.

>it's about emotion bro
>It's an objective thing
Emotions aren't an objective thing. What scares you probably doesn't scare the person next to you in the same way. Same with any other emotion.
As for this part
>you could actually find parties that featured artists who were truly soulful and emotional in their performance
There are still many artists like that, but it's more about how the culture changed more so than the artists themselves. Ease of access to music changed the listener culture greatly, nowadays people don't go out to listen to new music they never heard before, they go out to listen to the same music they listen at home. That's why artists/DJs are practically forced to not perform but just play a certain set of songs which won't make the audience collectively leave the stage because their Spotify favorites aren't being played.

I worked as a touring DJ for about 15 years. After normies started to flood the events and festivals, the scene lost all meaning. I would compare it to an opening night on Broadway, but instead of a play, everyone came to watch an episode of their fav TV show.
Luis Green
i dont do anything period anymore because all it is is garbage nigger music blasting everywhere. and then this year i had neighbors move in who blast garbage nigger music in their house through a shitty walmart system so loud my walls vibrate. called the cops immediately on that and they continue to do it and not care. hopefully they go to jail from all the citations soon enough and i can finally go back to the peace ive experienced for over 20 years here. their house isnt even that close. its a real shitty rent to own pile of shit of the whites that live there are pretty much the lowest form possible. they look like drug addicts and probably are. i dont even understand how someone could exist around such noise for so long. im not exaggerating either its literally all fucking day and well into the night like 2 -4 am of just pumping retard nigger beats what level of brain activity needs to exist for someone to sit there in that i dont really know

You could escape into nightlife, OP. Dancing is communal, but scenes have to develop organically and require nurturing from the die-hards. Nightlife has declined dramatically in the last decade, and I don't think they're able to thrive anymore --all the structures that upheld them have rotten and globohomo has captured the normie attention span to a totalitarian degree.

This whole thread can be summarized by "i got old and do not enjoy things anymore". It's okay user, just let this shit go and do something more respectable, like gardening or carpentry. Also, the fact that you use MD (and other stuff) probably fried some of your dopamine receptors, so you are eternally seeking for new highs like a fucking teenager. Grow up faggot.
