The age thing is always a sub-issue for me; I'm 32 (33 next month). I started going to parties/raves about 3 years ago. Right from the start I felt like I had found my place; nothing at all made me feel out of place or out of touch. But the scene, at least in the midwest has changed quite a bit since then. This however is a very good thing; evolution and all. I know this is rave-list fodder but I had to respond. Underground? I dunno what that means anymore. But I *DO* know you had your hands/heart on the vibe, and for me that's what makes a party. Come out to Iowa for our next party and you'll feel it again. And now back to your regularly scheduled IDM-talk... ;-) - stevenJ
