When I first listened to Electronic music, it made me feel something Wonderful! I was in the party scene then (about 14 years ago). Since then I have married ( 10years now), have a 2 year old beautiful daughter and have been out of the party scene since 2003-2004. I still listen to Electronic music everyday and enjoy searching & finding new sounds / mixes (even though I prefer the older 1998-2003 tribal house).
I'm not into the club scene anymore. I do miss going to see a headliner spin (Sound system & maybe hear some new raw in the moment mix). I was telling my wife the other day that I would love to see someone open up a club that would have a amphitheater type setting. Catered to more of a chill scene, being able to sit, listen & watch. Of course have a small dance area away from the viewing area. But that's just wishful thinking for me (Live in US- Ohio/NKY area= no good clubs= have to travel 5-6 hrs to see a good show).
Another positive thing that's happened lately, is that my daughter starts dancing every time I play electronic music in house or car (she already likes dancing with lights= I'm in for some sleepless nights lol)
So, needless to say this Electronic music is part of my life & always will be!! It keeps me going!!!

The thing I love about the EDM scene is that when you go to a club noone really cares how you look or what you do (unless you're acting hostile or something). It's all about having fun and feeling equal.

I know, right? That's a really fucking stupid statement.
The reason nobody cared was because they were all high as a kite.

I don't see how that makes it a stupid statement. One of the most widely documented consequences of the acid house explosion and ecstasy culture in the UK at the end of the '80s is how it tore down things like football hooliganism, racism, homophobia and so on. People getting high as a kite in a field or a club somewhere had a tangible influence on wider society. Because it's not like the thoughts, feelings and realisations you have whilst on drugs just evaporate when you come down.
When I went to see Sasha and Danny Tenaglia, I saw a bunch of older couples in their early to mid 40s on the dance floor, it was awesome. They didn't look or seem out of place. It was refreshing to see young and old dancing their asses off.
If my woman is into house and techno I will definitely still go out every once in a blue moon in 15 years. Why not..
Great thread I'm 37 and still love this music as much as when I started the site.... but it going to events these days is a completely different experience than in the late 90's. Things are much more pre-packaged and predictable now.... I miss the randomness of it all the most... when you went out and really had no idea what to expect. lol

A fair point, but the Finnish scene was... somewhat different.

yeah this is definitely true. most of the time i go out now a days it's really just like you're at a bar with loud music.
