RAVING




You snicker when you hear someone say "PLUR"

You finally realize that phat pants are heavy and impractical

You blame candy kids for everything retarded in the scene

You find out how much better European electronic music really is

You have pretended to be rolling at a party just to get a quick laugh out of your friends

When you ARE on E you do your best to act normal

You realize how cool Drum & Bass is

You raalize how lame progressive trance is

You find out that American DJs are completely overrated

You have close friends that don't give a f?!k about raving

You think that maybe you don't give a f?!k either

The smell of Vicks makes you physically ill

You can't help but laugh when someone tries to give you a "glowstick show"

You learn to break

You want to actually roll, you have to eat about 4 pills at once

You can get those 4 pills for the same price that everyone else pays for one

You drink beer after parties

You quit collecting fliers

You wouldn't mind if that kid with the whistle accidentally swallowed it and died

You are actually called by your real name

You realize the general public shouldn't be blamed for hating raves

You talk s?!t as much as possible

You DESPISE happy hardcore

You DESPISE candy

You have seen a 13 year old "raver" on E, and almost left the party because of it

You no longer feel the need to advertise your "rave-ness" to the world

You party sober and now understand how stupid you looked when you didn't

You know who PRODUCED your favorite tracks, not just which DJ bought it and put it on a mix CD

You think that dancing like you're running in place has all the skill and style of a penguin waddling with a stick up its butt

You have day-dreams that involve Tele-Tubbies and a large rusty chainsaw

Your parents gave up on you ever becoming normal a long time ago

You know why GHB and K are for f?!king idiots

You hate rave hoes

You begin to notice how often big DJs blow mixes

You think sweaty guys running around the party shirtless should get their asses kicked out

You act like a punk-ass bitch to security, police and any other authority

You say "ill" a lot

You know that raving is all about the music, but RAVERS are not

You've 'accidentally' kicked people sitting in the middle of the dancefloor

You find the jungle room more appealing now

You can actually DANCE to jungle

You laugh out loud when you go to Jamba Juice and they're playing dance music

You see guys from your high school football team at a party (refer to aformentioned "sweaty guys without shirts"...)

You know raving is mainstream as f?!k

The bigger the flier, the less you want to go

You can re-tell the story of how raving came to America quite accurately

Your sleeping and eating habits are completely f?!ked up

You're not racist, but you just have to wonder where the hell all those Asian kids are coming from

You are amazed that you are somehow still alive

You can't remember the last time you went to a party and didn't think it sucked

You can't remember much in general

You realize that ravers aren't nearly as genuine as hippies were
