EDC, TAO, Monster Massive, etc. are not raves. They are large parties with electronic music. Real raves are only heard of by word of mouth, texts, and phone calls. For the people who eat, breathe, and sleep electronic music, those festivals just don't cut it. Nothing is as memorable than driving an hour to a destination you've never heard of, only to find a couple hundred people dancing around a small, underground DJ who lays down perfect tracklists after tracklists.

Enjoy the larger parties, but make sure that you make an effort to find and go to underground raves. Places like ravelinks, and bay raves are good sources.

I myself am not a raver at all. I enjoy music from different places. Boys Noize, ATB, Paul Oakenfold, and Mike Farina were who I went to see on Friday as I had to work Saturday.

HARD Summer has an awesome lineup. Steve Aoki, Crystal Castles, Crookers, Atrak, The Bloody Beetroots, Sebastian, Rye Rye.

Its not bout ravin for me, its about the music.

I would go, but I am hitting a cruise in September. Saving up money for that one, my first cruise.

Ay Tip, I heard you met my neighbor Mike at a car show.

It should always ONLY be about the music. Girls, drugs, alcohol, etc. should all be an after thought when going to these parties.

Once again, large parties or "massives" are completely separate from Raves. I just want to make this distinction clear, since it seems like more and more people expect every rave to have 10k+ people at it...

I still recommend hitting up actual underground parties. I'm so sick of over hyped, horrible parties that people think are the sh*t. I've never had more fun than my first time at the Gingerbread House or at Sera Phi. Both nights were for parties that were unadvertised, and had less than 400 people (sera phi only had about 150).

i guess you decide what makes a rave and what isnt id go to the bigger ones because its prob a better experience to the non purist like yourself who thinks something is bad or dumb because a lot of people go or have something. it doent matter what these raves or parties or what ever are called, as long as you have a good time its worth the experience to go

You've missed my point.

Enjoy what you enjoy. I never said you can't have fun at a larger event. I just think that it's a good experience for everyone to attend an underground rave. It's a perfect conversation starter, and more than likely will be an amazing memory.

The world needs less squares.
