Well, today I talked to a friend that I had time not speaking to, and she told me she was going to Ultra, and that in fact she has VIP tickets. And well she doesn't even like this kind of music. She is going beacuse Ultra is the 'cool' thing to do right now, and has become comercial enough for consumers to enjoy. What ever happened to the love for the music? When did the whole 'dress-up' to go see a DJ spin became a must? Where has the rave comunity gone?
Is it just me that i feel 'insulted' about this music be taken as a 'social status'?

awwww poor baby! come here, I will make you feel better

haha now on a serious note.... you will always find people like that, that think it's the "cool" thing to do. simply, there aren't enough massive events for young people to go to, or even enough clubs etc, and well... when little kids want to feel big.... you know the drill

well, one thing is a "groupie VIP", which i do respect, and one thing is "im cool because I LOVE THE COCK"ohh wait....arent those the same?

Well, ever since I got into this music, been veteran of Ultra liteally, from Ultra 2k @ SoBe, where the Boom began and then getting moved to bayfront park.. yea, there was also Zen Fest among many other party's, they all had this special vibe, and there were also this Full Moon party's where I used to see EdgarV ( before he was famous perhaps ) .. as well the OLD CLUB SPACe.. it had that underground feel, where people that really aprecciated the music usually went.

It's funny though, I suppose ravers are totally hated now, but I must admit that those party's really had something special.. everyone sort of bonded for the music, and with the music.. perhaps us TA"s know whats the drill here.. when we either go to see the fave Dj's, the Tiesto whores, Sander Whores.. real music lovers, and yeah... Ultra has hit the time where it's success has translated into commercialism.. this same commercialism atracted a whole new breed of youngis who have taken this music into a different direction, perhaps a trend? Fashion ? .. or to just go to Ultra to just POSE or say.. Oh I went to Ultra Im cool....

I get where you are coming from Luis.. my sister has friends who keep saying they want to go to Ultra because is cool ( even though they are hot chicks.. I just neglect to help them out on going ) .. I even tell them to not bother .. but yeah, maybe someday this will go under again.. and I think the first sign of it has been the death of the party93.1.

The fact that someone would pay for something they don't really want just because they think it is cool is sad. You shouldn't feel insulted at all because this person obviously has no real opinion of their own.

Don't feel insulted, feel pitty.

The only thing that bugs me about these people that think ultra is the "cool" thing to do is, that they are often the ones making stupid comments like "it all sounds they same" or "i only like the music when i'm fucked up" these are the people that are really killing the scene!

Last year, I was @ Space to see PVD. It was early and another DJ was still on (dont' remember who). Someone walks up to my friend and I and asked us if that was Paul Van Dyk. I just looked at her and said "What?!! Get out!" as I stared at her in disbelief.

It was a bit harsh looking back. But people like that will cram into Space all because they think it's cool while the rest of us suffer the maddening crowds as a result.

Who would have thought 7 years ago that a little beach party in Miami would become the stuff of legend today...... We did.

WMC & Ultra rival some of the largest festivals in the world
Love Parade, San Francisco
Ultra Music Festival, Miami
Dance Valley, Netherlands
Godskitchen Global Gathering, UK
Trance Energy, Netherlands

IDMA nominations

I read on a flyer that Ultra's going to NYC! Couldn't believe it. If they do pull it off, I'll be there because that, my friends will be a serious party.
