Guest HangTheDJ Posted November 5 Report Share Posted November 5 in response to everyone who is terrified of the word "rave"first of all, take a look at this link. it shows how a number of dictionaries define the word "rave." notice how there are many that do not mention drug use. unfortunately there are many that do. i think you will find the white house links at the bottom particularly appalling.http://www.onelook.com/?w=rave&ls=awww.m-w.com 's definition of rave is this:3 : a large overnight dance party featuring techno music and usually involving the taking of mind-altering drugs this definition is false to begin with, as it doesn't mention any other types of music played at "rave" parties, even though this dictionary does acknowledge "house" and "trip hop" as musical styles.notice how in this dictionary, when defining words like "indian" and and "n__ger" and "f__got" how there is a disclaimer stating that these words are either derived from false beliefs, or they are simply derogatory.of course the issue of racism is much more appalling than other types of prejudice, but this is still defining a culture by crimes of CERTAIN people.

Guest HangTheDJ Posted November 5 Report Share Posted November 5 Instead of preaching to people who have no interest in raves, you should be out doing what you said you would. i am out doing what i said i would. i do feel the need to address all the fools who have a problem with this word, though. and these definitions are part of WHY this culture is under attack. i bet that you can't tell me how these definitions aren't prejudice. the word "ghetto" isn't defined by crime, but i would be willing to bet that lots of it takes place in any ghetto, regardless of who lives in it.

Guest HangTheDJ Posted November 5 Report Share Posted November 5 i'm 24, i'm a recording arts student currently, i have a degree in media arts already. i am an aspiring musician, and event promoter. as for the immediate future, i am starting some type of publication, probably a little magazine of some sort, and i will probably get a job in a recording studio or post-production facility.

Guest jbit Posted November 5 Report Share Posted November 5 Thats cool, I applaud you on your accolades. But I already knew what you were going to say before you even said it, your still a student and have yet to leave that "I can do anything" attitude behind you. Im not saying that all students are like that, but I was once like you. Eventually you'll realize that you cant change the world, all you can do is roll with it (pardon the pun).You've yet to hit the real world and realize this. Not trying to preach but I do have a few years on you so I can say this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pod Posted November 5 Report Share Posted November 5 Nothing wrong with the attitude, I'm just suggesting that the energy is better directed elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HangTheDJ Posted November 5 Report Share Posted November 5 i'm not partial towards the rave scene or anything, but i sure as hell have nothing against it. just like that guy euphoriaproject said, i don't see why it needs to be separate. as far as the "i can do anything" attitude, i don't know about ANYTHING, but starting a magazine is certainly not brain surgery. neither is being an artist or producer, or starting a club event.

Guest HangTheDJ Posted November 5 Report Share Posted November 5 i don't know quite what you mean by directing my efforts elsewhere. electronic music in general, is where my efforts are directed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
