Glowsticking is fine in general, IMO.
When someone is sitting there cracked out staring at glowsticks swirling....what the hell is that supposed to show this world about the EDM scene.
It only hurts the scene. It does not help it. At all. |
Who cares how it looks?
Some people visit a city to go sight-seeing, others visit it to see family and friends, others go to sail, ski, backpack, take care of business, invest, attend seminars. Different kinds of people all visit the same city - for different reasons, but they're all there.
Think of the EDM scene in the same way. Everyone goes there for different reasons. Some people go to do drugs, others go to socialize, some go to bling, others go solely to see the DJ, check out their favorite music live (like a rock concert), some go to make contacts, or a combination of any.
As for the cracked-out glowstick watching, it can only bother you if you let it. Live and let live! At worst, it's fun entertainment.
Doesn't matter why you go, just go, leave your judgments at the door, and have a blast! |

Douche bags who think the world evolves around them. People should only worry about 2 things, the dj and venue. the vibe\people, when good music is flowing out of the speakers that's all you need and maybe a drink in hand. |
i agree, and if you gonna get high, atleast try to do it in a fashionable manner. |

I dont understand why it bothers you to see somone drunk or on drugs... unless they are dying or falling down on every patron, whats the problem with them enjoying the night the way they want to? |
The only time this really bothers me is when people are swinging around smacking into me or bumping into me repeatedly. Well there was this one guy bouncing off crowd at avalon that reeked of puke, but a few cracks to his head of my elbow dance and he moved to the other side of the dance floor. :D |

| Being a douche bag has nothing to do with drunks or drugged people. |

Hell... I've rolled hard many events and never bothered anyone. I do understand some of the comments here, but as long as they are not bumping into me or hitting me with the glowstings... I'm pretty cool with everyone.
It seems like those who notice these things let it bother them too much and they completly lose focus of the night. I've have had some small interuptions in the club, but usually I'll just move and forget it ever happen. It would take a lot to get me pissed, but has never happen! I guess cause I go alone could be the trick. Usually if you go with a group, it only takes one person to kill the whole mood!
Under certain circumstances, there are definately some club no, no's, but to say "grow up" and leave the lights at home is a bit to much.
If the club allows it, go for it! Just dont hit anyone...lol!
It's kinda like telling a baseball player that he no longer can use a bat to hit the ball when this object was the essential tool fin the HISTORY of the game.
If you see me, there is a good chance I will have the visor pulled low, with glowing photons in my hand... and to let all you loafer wearing, v-neck w/ sport jacket, and affliction wearing hard heads... that may have just started listening to edm this year and know everything about the culture. YOU DON'T.... Don't judge us, ravers are here forever!
N0 I dont wear ufo pants or candy, but I do promote PLUR.
Without the raver or hard edm listners... these events wouldn't be as sucessful.
Okay everyone... bring it! This is about to get interesting!
No disrespect to anyone, but if you are offended, then I just described YOU...lol! |

While they are not mutually exclusive, they do increase some people's douche score, exponentially in many cases (i.e. a minor douche can easily become a class A douche once trashed).
I do think that people who go clubbing just and only to do drugs are pretty sad.
And no, the photos and videos of the glowsticks only made me think they are even more childish.
The worst are glowsticks on ropes.
But hey if it makes you that happy, who am I to piss on your strawberries? |

You know, I thought it somewhat evolved from "poi swinging" and taking that it probably did... it didnt fall out of some kids ass and became the thing to do.
It may have some history in the culture of this music. It shares a value with the birth of the past movements and I became the usual.
Hell, I just thought those who enjoy this type of music would know some history about the culture. I dont think this just happen 2 years ago... people was doing this over a hundred years ago... well maybe with fire, but samething...lol! |
