This blog is to bring us all together as a community, both online and off. What do we all have in common? The biggest thing I can think of is that we are all part of a music revolution!
What does this revolution look like? It looks like us. What do we look like? As a whole, the music beats inside us. We bleed drum n' bass, EDM is dirty, it grinds on our bodies; the sound vibrates over our warm skin; lights play keep away over our arms and legs, our vibrant sweat cools out bodies leaving our cheeks and breasts glowing with the delight of life. We are more than ourselves, we relax the boundaries of flesh and bone and mortality, and host a brothel of delights within us.
Who wouldn’t want that? Young people today are attracted to the strength and individualism of the rave scene. Lots of the people who rage with us today come from diverse social backgrounds. Somehow we are drawing connections between Punks and Preps. If I were to point fingers I would say that dubstep is the particular genre that is making the scene explode and leak into the others. Listen to Skrillex and Korn’s song “Get up” if you don’t believe me. And I’m sure you’ve heard that top 40’s song “Every day I’m shuffling”. (No links to that one :p)
I know that a lot of the ravers are not thrilled with dubstep, but we should be! It is bringing the raver culture to the forefront of society making it cheaper and easier for us to throw parties and support ourselves doing what we love. Do we have to deal with some of the aggravating people it flushes into our clubs? Yes, we do. But within that same group of drunk bitches and bros there is easily one or two that have been feeling left out in their clique and will be saved by what we have already found in our community: Individual Freedom.
