Does it make you look like a wanker or poser? OR is it purely functional in easing the bright lazer lights on the eyes? My verdict? Sometimes 6-8 hours of lazers and strobes can get pretty intense on the eyes (especially if you're on E and everthing gets too intense) so sunglasses can be functional at clubs like Viva and Guv. But clubs like System that always seem so dark, I have no use for them...so I don't bring em..otherwise I feel that I look like a dink.

IMO wearing sunglasses at CLUB or a RAVE is pure SKTECHED OUT! WHACKED BEYOND WHACKED! Only the e-tards and 40+ azn wear sunglasses at parties. Stay away from that shit!

BE A MAN! Don't hide your eyes no matter how drunk or e-tarded you are!

So I think the majority speaks....those of you who wear sunglasses in the club.

YOU AREN'T COOL AND THERE REALLY IS NO OTHER EXCUSE!

VERY WANK

its dark enough dude why you gonna wear sunglasses

I agree dude..that's why I don't see the point in wearing sunglasses in most clubs...but as it's also been pointed out, they can be functional in reducing the light intensity (especially if you've got something keeping you "peppy" for the night). First time I went to a party and saw people wearing shades, I thought "wow, what a bunch of posers" Then one time someone lent me their shades and the reduction of intesity was much needed, and appreciated. So I still say I'm a fence sitter on this.

well i have some friends that wear sunglasses at the club to cover up their wacked out eyes when they all "peppy" .

Overall, my conclusion is if you are under the influence of something then its alright to wear them. If not, then its not cool.

this guy on the other hand.....

Poser is a good word for it too but then again I think the same way about glow sticks..... Especially when you see the same people without them at the start of the night with out them, then all of a sudden they pull them out and put them on....what are they thinking "Oh it's about that time, I should put my shades on ???"

LoL that's so true. It's like, "I'm keeping them on my forehead or that special place for that special time of the night when BANG out come the shades and I transform into superraver!"

I think shades are like any clubbing accessory...whether it be glowsticks, whistles, those little spinny things where you can program words, poi, even dancing in general. It's all part of the culture and image, whether you like it or not.

i think people should worry about themselves more. thats why i like the rave scene cause its generally people who dont give a fuck.

Exactly!!

How shocking, another thread created to bash something or other.

Well allow me to dissent on this one. I don't always bring mine (which happen to NOT be cheapo Shopper's glasses) but plenty of times I do. And if I have them with me and I'm not wearing them, it's probably because I don't need/want them at the time (perhaps because the lights suck and I'm sober at the time?), not because I'm waiting to "surprise everyone." A few points to be made:

1. Lights. You guys can argue about it all you want, but the lights in the Guvernment are fucking blinding. At the last Theory in the Koolhaus, I forgot to bring my shades, and I couldn't even see the stage, just this CONSTANT bright red haze. They changed the lights about a half hour later, but it was still annoying. With good shades (like Revos, for example), you can actually see quite well in the dark while still getting rid of that nasty glare.

2. SMOKE! Disregarding the obvious statement that people who see fit to smoke everywhere they go shouldn't be ragging on shades-wearers who at least don't choke people around them... you smokers must understand that for us non-smokers, SMOKE STINGS OUR EYES. Believe it or not, those little sunglasses tack on an extra few hours before my eyes feel like they're burning up. Viva is the worst for this, but every club in Toronto has absolutely brutal ventilation, and those shades help a LOT.

3. Hiding eyes. I don't know about the people who wear clear ones, but anyone who's seen mine knows that you can't see through them at all. Very good when I've had a little too much to drink and go cross-eyed, haha. I consider this minor compared to #1 and #2 though.

4. I like them. I don't see how it's any different from getting decked out or gelling hair. Again, maybe for cheap Shopper's glasses this is kind of stupid, but for those of us who bother to get better ones, why do you think we bought them in the first place? Besides, it's just part of the culture, always has been, it's like wearing a hat to a jungle party.

5. Why do you care anyway? I think that if you care so much about what other people wear, you're out for the wrong reasons! Get a life and worry about yourself!

P.S. I'm not voting for cool, wank, or functional, it's just what some people do, let them do it in peace whatever their reasons may be!

DigiNut,
the purpuse of sunglasses is to protect your eyes from sun(or from black yee ). In a club - there is no sun. Hence no need to wear sunglasses
