rave music and raves...
View this Thread in Original format
malek
When you tell someone that you are going to aria, stereo, etc and then that person answers back that "oh, those are raves right?" "oh you like rave music?" "oh you take xtc right? " etc...

do you say "YES i go to raves (thus making you a raver by definition...)"

or

distance yourself from ravers and the rave culture and everything else bad associated with it by saying that "aria, stereo, etc are afterhour clubs playing this or that kind of music and they have nothing to do with raves..."

agh... i didn't even notice that someone already started a similar thread in Toronto... I didn't try to copycat :(

I say NO...

Rave are not for me...
when I go to Aria it's for the DJ and the music.

S'que je veux dire c'est que Dans ma tête malgré que je suis jamais allé dans un rave, j'aime bien prendre mes distances par rapport à ça. parce que pour moi...de la maniere dont j'imagine les raves dans mon profond imaginaire...je vois des centaines de CANDY avec des light sticks et la musique me semble moins du style que j'aime.

Le aria c po un rave...en-t-k pas pour moi.



btw...J'avoue que se thread laisse plus de place a des discussions avec un peu plus de fondement...:rolleyes:

if you like raves or you don't you still have to make it clear that where you go its not a rave but and afterhours. i think afterhours have been on for a long time, even before the word rave started to get used so much.

but i could be wrong.

I get angry when people say that cause they are ignorant especially when you ask them to go to Afterhour and they say no its not my thing.. But how the funk do u know that if uve Never Been FFS!!!??
detective you
yeah most of the people I know always talk about rave when I say Aria!!

damn I hate that!
the only fact that its during the night makes it "strange" to others....and because techno music sounds like bam bam bam to them, its quite impossible they make a difference between raves and afterhours
j@y
loll
i agree some people have a hard time makin difference between rave and afterhours

my father still thinks aria is a rave party

"your still going to these raves:eek: "

lol

ive been to "when music speaks" and it is very different from an after hour

people are different,music, evrything

chilly boo did a really good job,booking great dj's

but these day's it seems to be difficult to get more than 500 people in an underground rave
detective you
rave scene in montreal seem to go down a little, am I wrong?

I'm not a raver, I despise candy ravers with a passion!so no ,I wouldn't say I am a raver, nor do I attend raves unless a friend is spinning! BEB I wouldn't even consider a rave, but rather an event!
Assassin
yeah, the only time i go to raves is if im spinning, or if a friend is. The Ottawa rave scene is looking grim, because the city passed a by-law stating that music cannot be played after 3am without a permit. And getting one of these permits for a one off event is almost impossible. This has lead to sketchy parties in the boonies, or parties getting shut down at 3am.

If someone asks me what Aria is, I just tell them its an afterhours nightclub and most just dont seem to really care.

Raves are different from afterhours. In past I went to both, raves and Sona(after) and ambiance was different. Also raves were different too. 514 events drew more afterhour-like crowd(clubbers)and underground raves- Candy-ravers.

The question is who is a raver? An image of a Candy or a clubber?

it's funny how the word "rave" got over used by people :happy2:

but associating the music and the clubs with the whole "rave" family (drugs , candy kids , tiger balm , massage , necklace , etc ...) ain't funny :whip:
