Sad Soliloguy

Hi all, thank you all for reading this. Please, if you have something to add, add it reasonably. I dont want any flaming because I dont mean to offend anyone.
Over the past few raves, actually the word raves I cannot use anymore. There are no more raves... yes its sad, as many people have said, the rave scene is dead.
So over the past few... club events... sigh... I began thinking about the TAs. Are they really trance addicts? I mean, I see all these talks about : "I love PROG! To all ya Junglist! etc..." as much as it is related to trance... its not trance. And all of these cultures are different.. yes very much different. The prog culture comes from the nighclub culture, the Junglist for the underground british parties, and trance comes from the, music loving centre of europe, Germany and sorrounding ****ries. They have the big parties like StreetParade, LoveParade, etc... The cultures are very very different.
Now you must be saying, "this guy doesn't know bull what he is talking about, I know every single track produced by 150 artists around the world, and the track listing of every set since 2000. And he is teaching me?", but you must step out of that.
Art and music is all about identity. Its uniqueness in ones work of art. Low respect is given to artists who use other people's art or they produce different identities of art for no reason. For that people have one culture, and if a person is seen in two cultures they are given names and referred to as copiers or whatever..
The mass rave scene is almost dead and people act as if it is not. They think, "yea its in the background, lets just attend these club events until a great party/rave begins". Well its not going to be like this, you are not ravers, you are clubbers, saying you love prog and trance, just like the ginos which you make fun of. You are the ginos. Last night at a TA event I saw a TA picking up girls, even doing the dirty grinds. I was disgusted. Next minute I saw some gino, pure gino, big hair, tight white clothes, grinding girls, the gino and the TA were no different.
So after that I began thinking, not that many TAs are actually TranceAddicts. All they are, are lost electronic music lovers looking for "underground movements" just so they can be different. While at the same time, they dont realise the different cultures that is invloved. They still need booze and girls to have a good time and think Trance is everything. A paradox.
Don't bring up the "we are all alike", "unified love", because the Trance rave scene is much different then most people belive.
So please, I ask you, think deeply, are you a TranceAddict? Can you escape your animalistic desires to intertwine yourself with the very energies that make up matter in order for your self to realise some of the most fundemental meanings of the human spirit?
I feel sad. I miss the old rave scene where it was all about Peace Love Unity and Respect.
