-- Whats up with Southern Californians?
Pages (3): « 1 [2] 3 »

The vast majority of TAs I've met have been cool as shit. Same with most people I meet at clubs. Maybe I'm just oblivious. I'm not saying there aren't assholes at clubs, there are. But there are people like this everywhere, clubs, theater, market, etc. My only beef with clubbing in LA are the washers and fobs who come up behind girls and rub their junk on them.

Whats up Southern Californians!?!

-Generally speaking, dissatisfaction with others, stems from
dissatisfaction within ones self. Life is nothing more than
perception, and what we believe is what we choose to
believe. What we know is only what we choose to retain
from from the things that we have been taught. Rely on
the essence of your pure wisdom mind, not on judgmental
perceptions.

All that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts, we make our world."

Hilarious! I agree 100% with everything you said. This city is where a bunch of us were born and/or raised. If you don't like it, leave, I understand alot of things may be holding you back but that doesn't mean that every few weeks we have to hear about how much someone doesn't like it out here. There are some of us that are part of this scene and both live it and love it. And if you're neither, then clearly you don't fit in.

Originally posted by LeSamourai Ok I�ll try not to take too much space with this rant, but what is up with the scene down here? Why is it filled with such arrogant pricks? Why are there so many presumptuous morons who have an amateurish high-school mentality? Yes I know we get top Djs right and left, but I conjecture they come here more for the money than the vibe. Why do I say this? Well I�ve been lucky enough to travel around the globe and go to clubs across our great planet. Almost every place I visited was had friendly and amicable people who basically had that original spirit of EDM. Somehow here in So Cal it seems to be lost. Well it doesn�t take much to realize where we are situated. This is Hollywood after all; it lures in that superficial group of morons who still believe in that �our clique-is-superior-to-your-clique� mentality. Like I said before, wasn�t that in highschool? Seriously, whenever I go out for a break at our lame clubs I see people huddled in their retarded little groups. Oh and when a stranger with friendly intentions approaches eyes roll HAHA�I couldn�t help but notice that when I went out 2 weeks ago. The sad fact is most of these psedo-"high-society" idiots are nothing more than a sham; most have menial day-time jobs and rely on their nocturnal club-"cliques" for affirmation LOL!

It stems from the over saturation of DJ shows in the Southern California market. California in general has become the biggest DJ market in the world, and clubbers in the LA area are constantly bombarded with so many options that their tolerance level to what is and isn't a good show becomes very skewed. Too many options can easily lead to arrogance and a general lack of reverence to what electronic dance music in all genres is all about. Having had a chance to travel and meet clubbers in many places over the past year, I've seen wild fluctuations in the expectations that clubbers have from certain DJs. It all really comes down to where people live and the amount of choices put before them.

I still think LA fuckin sucks. Not necessarily the club scene... but everything else. The way people are materialistic, superficial, and fake. Cars, money, status, reputation, etc matter more than anything else to some people. People forget how to be down to earth.

I don't think I belong here. I should move to Colorado or something lol.

thats right gone fishing

ughh that video gave me a huge head ache. i see too many of those wanna-be's around here!

Well I haved live in SoCal my whole life. Somehow i have managed to avoid the materialistc shallow people. I have met some of the coolest people I have ever met in the EDM scene. I have met many open minded, free thinking, great, intelligent, caring people in the rave/EDM scene in SoCal. You just need to know how to look.

Personally I am staying in SoCal cause of the weather and the great music.

I live in South Central so I think thats why i have avoided the materialistic people.

There's a lot of truth to this. People get very jaded.

I totally agree, when i started to go to Avalon about a year & half ago, i met cool people the very first nite i went. From that point on ive met nothing but the coolest of the cool. Each week meeting @ least 5 or so more

On a typical night when a high-line DJ is spinning (Lawler, Zabiela, Burridge, etc), i can honestly say i would run into at least 100 of my friends. We dont all roll in together, but all meet up around that one booth to the right of the dancefloor & have a hell of a time. Then the majority of us all go to the dancefloor. It's always a lot of fun!

that being said, i will also agree that the Avalon scene has changed (people wise) since the summer of 05. guys in general who go there to pick up, tweekers, & people who are there just on a whim (especially 1st time e-tards whose mission in life is to get w/every tranny that gives them a 2nd look) totally ruin the vibe!

ive had a great time everytime ive gone to Avalon, its a lot easier for me i guess since i know a lot of people & even tho i dont meet as many people as i used to, i still meet a few more every week

i have this saying "Cool people hang around w/cool people" & it may take a while but cool people will eventually find other cool people.

Its only a matter of time before Suge Knight threatens to kill him if he doesnt get out of the scene. Another Vanilla Ice wanna be to me........

i do agree on the materialistic and superficial part, but thats what this world is about.

i grew up in LA and have had the opportunity to live in more laid back places. but i must say that shit drove me crazy because the people there are so laid back that they have no drive or ambition. they rather let things happen than make things happen.

drive and ambition stem from the want to satisfy ones needs. this means looking to material things as motovators. so yea, people in LA drive big cars and have nice clothes and all the bling bling because they worked for it and it makes them happy. this should not be looked down upon because it shows that the people here stirve to succeed.

its all about perception. it no longer bothers me seeing so much materialism because i see it as a motovator to do better for myself.

people always think the grass is greener on the other side.

arite ima be honest.....

(2 seconds of pause)


i have never been more agreeable to statement made on this board....EVER....!


the reason why we LIVE lavish is because we WORK lavish....the drive to attain the finer things in life is being used against us...? cmon guys......u have money u buy expensive things...you dont have money you settle for practicality...

who cares...?!?!?!

were talking EDM MUSIC not peoples spending habits and shopping tendancies......u guys r totally getting caught up in a nonsensical arguement if you ask me.....

yea i admit a decent amount of the so cal populace are materialistic and all of that- but hey what can you do. its always been like this, i figure if you see the worst of the worst you're able to deal with the worst. and finding the down to earth people who go against the tide is always worth it living down here.
