someone's never had a hotel party where a bunch of naked girls/guys are spraying each other with that glowstick fluid


some girl tried to tell me that it is actually PLURR because the last R is responsibility and I said that sounds hella dumb and would fall under the 'Respect' umbrella anyway AND it doesn't work with the little PLUR hi-5 thing you do to exchange candy

also as an aside I hope the mainstream moves on soonish because all the "raves" now are mostly giant rear end 2-3 day music festivals that start at noon and end at like 10pm filled with cops who are actually enforcing no-drug no-lights no-candy rules and that ain't no mutherphukkin rave (buy the sponsor beer buy the sponsor beeeeeer)

I thought PLUR was those big fuzzy boots that chicks wear along with basically nothing else.

those are leg warmers

it's a fashion thing more than actually keeping you warm

I feel like at least one component of PLUR is redundant in the presence of the other three. Like if you are peace love and unitying already you are automatically going to be respecting as well. At the same time I think R for responsibility is a good addition as it could mean a responsibility to oneself and one's own well-being as much as to others, which is not necessarily implied by PLU. Please alert the rave thought leaders as to my suggestion, postehaste.

respect yourself as well as others. Encompasses 'being responsible' and isn't quite the same as peace/love/unity for mankind but yeah I see your point.

But again you gotta consider the little handshake thing

"No, you can't let her have a beer on X! It will kill her!"

i mean idc if people want to drink some alcohol, I'm mostly lolling at how clearly people are being pushed towards buying the $10 beers at festivals because where before you could be rolling face sitting in the corner drooling on yourself no one would say peep to you now you'll get kicked out + harassed by security because 'drug free event'

no massagers, no lights, no beads too like wtf is that that's not a rave assholes

e: like EDC; if you go and have fun then great but it's not a rave anymore

here's the really good decorations that made it a stargate themed rave

in LA I went to a rave that was apparently "anime" themed (I did not know this but who cares anyway) and the decorations were literally two big screens on either side of the main stage showing anime stills - half of which were straight up hentai

lol

people i met at aforementioned rave:

effeminate man with 6 inch tall platform boots that were glittery and purple and cost him over $500
guy who constantly proudly referred to himself as a human being then decided he was genderless and now is a post op mtf
scrawny nerds who had both weed and non weed vape pens on lanyards around their necks
dr who fans with dr who themed outfits
male my little pony fans with my little pony themed outfits
a guy who told another guy with an adventure time tshirt that adventure time isn't actually anime but since it's so good it's honorary anime, although as of typing this i'm remembering this was actually at the prudential center during an anime convention but it was funny so i'm keeping it here
juggalos (guessing this is less rave and more upstate new york)
people tearfully emotional over candy trades (kandy? kandi? candi?) and how meaningful it was
vendors in slapfights

my experience is pretty limited but the people i saw there were exactly who i expected to see there

EDIT also they didn't really "mosh" they just stomped around like they were playing dance dance revolution really really angrily

tbqh it sounds like you were just being a bitter goon in the corner instead of dropping some rolls and having some fun on the dancefloor

i guess but it kind of still varies wildly depending on where you are and what kind of rave you're going to and he still sounds like a little homophobic bitch to me fam

My last interaction with the police while my eyes were wide as saucers was when they kindly offered to escort me + my friends back to my car (I was leaving the event) because they were worried about potential muggers and they very kindly slowly followed in their squad car while we walked a few blocks and then said 'drive safe!' and went back to the main entrance.

I'm also a white man so you know, lol.

This was when EDC was in LA for reference. It was held at USC's arena but USC while being a nice school is in the middle of one of the shittier parts of LA that you prolly don't wanna be walking around in at night.

Staff? Security? Glowsticks? What kind of weak rear end raves do you people go to?!

those <100 people drive 2 hours to get out to the desert "underground" raves are usually hella lovely fam

myself I like the ones that are still a few thousand people and yeah bro you need some dang security. Just not security that is gonna hassle you about drugs n stuff.

I find the commercialization of rave parties extremely sad. These new "raves" sound just like lovely nightclubs trying to extract as much money as possible from patrons. They don't give a gently caress at all about the music, just making money.

p much but it's okay there are good parties starting to pop up again

but yeah all those massives like EDC and whatnot are trash now
