The scene is a mixture of music lovers & drug lovers. Personally, I found the scene thru drugs. Don't get me wrong, I always loved electronic music since I first heard the KLF etc... but it was b/c of the drugs that I got into the scene. I didn't have a fake ID in college, and raves were the best option since philly clubs are 21+.
However, I'm past the drug stage now, and I go solely for the music. I have blacked out on many great sets in my day, and sometimes it makes me sick to walk into a club w/ 1/2 of the crowd unable to stand w/ their eyes rolled back, but I was there once, and maybe when those people outgrow the drugs, maybe they will still love the music too.
I am so much happier now that I remeber sets. I was kinda pissed when ephedra got banned b/c that would help me get through the night, but whatever. But bottom line for me, if it wasn't for the drugs, I would never have found the music that means so much in my life.
