DollaBill Posted September 21 Report Share Posted September 21 Glowsticks are not cool anymore. They used to be in the early 90's not anymore. Commercial ravers use them. STOP THE INSANITY! ALL GLOWSTICK DANCER SHALL DIE!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezdreamer Posted September 21 Report Share Posted September 21 I think they're still cool. It certainly colors and brightens any place up, it's hypnotic whether sober, drunk, or rolling. When I first saw it, it almost took my breath away on how they moved around smoothly all over their body. The glow, it almost seems to give any place a nuclear energy. Actually when I go to places where there are none to be found, I miss them. Hell, people still breakdance and I think it's still fun to watch.Live and let live.------------------Dream a little dream... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickijay Posted September 21 Report Share Posted September 21 I like to watch people who know what they're doing with glowsticks, and the ones on the strings def. look awesome, but it's no fun being pegged on the side of the head with one. OUCH, those things hurt. If it's crowded you need to keep your strings short!!! ------------------ I LEAD A DOUBLE LIFE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you learn how to flow (relax your hands) and the usual figure 8 then all you need is just a lil' relaxation and a lil' imagination. What separates the guys who use glow sticks is that they ALL have their own personality.KEEP PRACTICING!! AND KEEP UP THE INSANITY!!BlueAngel------------------"Live as if your were to die tomorrow.

diconutz Posted September 21 Report Share Posted September 21 For trippintrance64, doing strings takes some practice I started in May and now I am stupid nice! So if you just mess around with them in your house for like an hour a day you can get good! To all you non believers in glowsticks, don't knock it just because you can't flow!!!ANYONE KNOW A GOOD CLUB IN JERSEY (I live in the Princeton area), OR SHOULD I JUST KEEP GOING TO NYC EVERY TIME???

Keebler Posted September 21 Report Share Posted September 21 Glowsticks are fine.Glowsticks on strings should be outlawed. It's like being on a packed subway and a 400 pound guy comes on and squeezes into the seat next to you taking up every inch of space. Now you have to get up out of your spot because it's too annoying to stay there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petp Posted September 21 Report Share Posted September 21 when i was younger i did them, not too hard to do, just practice by yourself...preferably with the lights out in front of a mirror. everyone does them at one point or the other, then u just grow up. thats what happened to me. after them, during the roxy days, i was one of the roid boys. (please, no flames) now i just chill, no glow sticks, keep my shirt on, and just dance!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"]http://bbs.clubplanet.com/ubb/smilies/cwm30.gif its not that hard trance, i started around july and im decent now, just get some dead sticks and attach them to some old shoelaces and practice at home in front of a mirror, just go really slow at first and work on spinning the strings forward and using the figure eight motion, u ever wanna meet up we can rave together somewhere, oh and i was wondering does anyone know of video on raving? ------------------beware of the darkside....

kramadas Posted September 21 Report Share Posted September 21 Hehehe...glowstix on strings! I've just started learning them...takes time but is a lot of fun. I already have a couple of battle scars from them, as well as a few others who read this board....you know who you are...spinnin on the beach! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vampienyc10 Posted September 21 Report Share Posted September 21 Yeah I almost got closed-lined by one of those..That wasn't fun.. It was bad enough I was tripping out of my face..For the rest of the night I was walking around the place as if I was in combat - trying to protect myself...yeah we can all laugh about it now, but it wasn't funny at that time, I though it was real....I USED TO use glowsticks back in the early 90's and my LAST time was when I bit down to hard on one (I was tying my hair back) and my mouth was glowing for like two days. Yeah---laugh again----I nearly killed myself..... Hey you go out to have a good time, if you like it, COOL...Whatever floats your boat!! ------------------------------------------@vampienyc10vampie@aol.com"One is not born a woman, one becomes one."- Simone de Beauvoir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twilo Beauty Posted September 21 Report Share Posted September 21 Glowsticks are fine. But when these kids dance to Amber and Zombie Nation with them it does get lame. -Keep glowsticks underground!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitty19 Posted September 21 Report Share Posted September 21 nightcrawler, there is a video @ www.iloveraving.com for a glowstickin crew-- it doesn't "teach" people how to glowstix, but these guys have mad skills, and it looks cool on tv (so i've heard).glowstickin is just a form of expression, as all forms of dance are. no need to dis on me and my fella glowstickaz, i don't dis on the dickheads that don't know how to dance and just take up space at clubs. glowstix are old? so is breakin. it's still cool. so is tight d&g/prada gear, but it still looks good. so is coke. that 80s thang is still a 21 century thang. whoever is complaining that it's old is probably old too, but you're still clubbin, so mad props! as long as people are having fun, what does it matter if you are dancing with glowing tubes, strings, each other, whistles, or anything? now, gimme my glowstix and imma hit the dancefloor!! ------------------*kitty19**turn it around baby* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christop Posted September 22 Report Share Posted September 22 Whoever was at SF this past weekend at around 11AM spinning the strings was fuckin amazing. I think he was spinnin to sandstorm. Also the girl that spun right after him wasn't that bad either. The guy though was the best I ever seen. He was doing some crazy shit.

glowgirl Posted September 22 Report Share Posted September 22 I use strings when the club is not packed! I learned by watching ANGLEWINGS! I just picked them up and started swinging. Getting a flow is is tough, but if you learn the moves you, the flow is next. I practiced everyday with and without music. whenever I could. i'll show you let me know where and when!Happy swinging!!!------------------Good time had by all!!!

JonathanNYC Posted September 22 Report Share Posted September 22 Glowsticks.. are cool.. they add some life to the party. I definitely dont like the people who just hold them for show and dont actual rave. The String people are awesome. Glowsticks and Strobe Lights have LIFe to a party..give it a Flavor, nothin wrong with doin that.--TUNNEL BACK IN FULL FORCE-- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msoprano Posted September 22 Report Share Posted September 22 i think glowsticks are phat. espically at exit when youre looking down and you see all the sticks being swung,,, they look good. im average, but i like o hold them while i dance. and i like to use them to phat buildups------------------i only speak the truth peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
