Yeah I thought the whole scene was a bit more about having a good time than
what I have experienced on more than one occasion at shows or different
events. I initially begun to listen to IDM a few years ago because of friends
of mine in college. I discovered this delightfully ecclectic genre of music
that I had only a slight knowledge of previously. I haven't looked back
since.
When I first heard about the whole rave scene, I was under the impression
that it was all about the music, dancing your ass off and having a good time.
I have found quite the opposite is true over the past few years,
increasingly I come in contact with a lot of real assholes at shows and
clubs. It really takes me by surprise 'cause it's not like a physical
confrontation (like the kind you encounter at a manistream place with
Steroid-Headz) it's a wierd attitude. Somewhat of a passive aggressive thing
I suppose, but then again maybe it's just a New York City thang.
