What is right about the EDM 'scene'

I enjoy how unconcerned people are in general about personal image.

I really like the come as you are mentality in EDM parties and the general acceptance and tolerance I find when I go out. People seem to go out of their way to be welcoming, which I appreciate a lot, because I find that other kinds of places are trying to exclude people and make all sorts of judgements before allowing them to join in on the fun.

Being a supergeek cracker ass honkey, I find it hard to fit in with partying crowds who are generaly the 'cool people' who I have been largely excluded from. But in EDM I find the complete opposite, hugging strangers, dancing like an idiot and not caring, wild computerish bleeping noises, it makes me feel like I'm at home.

so what about you, what aspects of EDM and clubbing and whatnot do you appreciate?

You know why people are unusually accepting at these functions?

It's called "Amphetamines"

We live in the Age of Cruelty and every day I struggle to find my place in it. All I know I can offer the world is a thousand more adventures through dancing and light.

this recalls that "Jack had a groove..." track

Yep.

And not everyone is on drugs either...I've met plenty of people at raves that are there for the music. EDM pulls in people from all walks of life and all genres of music. It's very very diverse.

Sitting on the dance floor is not acceptable behavior no matter how fucked you are.

I like being able to listen to the music in like in public with other people that appreciate it as much as I do.
