Hmmm.... Well, being a 15-20 year old "rave kid", I don't seem to
have any baggy pants, colored hair, peircings NOR can I find my
Prodigy (u2/underworld whatever) album that I didn't even know I had.
Amazing that you knew, eh? Otherwise, where would I be? Ah yes,
that's right, taking ecstasy. Thank you for that dose of
stereotypical nonsense.
I don't know who you know, but your description doesn't match ANY
"rave" kid I know. Yes, I listen to dj's (who doesn't?) but I find
that most "rave kids" I know *are* into the music, and, while they may
not know as much as your exalted soul about the artists, they
obviously have a lot more clue. And, they listen to a wide variety of
"IDM" stuff (I don't actually know of many ppl who listen to the bands
you mention).
This provides great insight as to why this list is the way it is..
...and stop dissing "rave kids" (also known as individual human
beings)..
blah. ;)
