Where's the fabo ravers, EDM, rappers and hip hoppers

-
1992-3, When raves were still underground, not sponsored by Pepsi, and you had to seek out 'map points' to get an address of a warehouse somewhere. It was like a game of hide and seek with the cops. I remember finally getting an address in an industrial part of town and turning down a long dark one way street and having to stop and flash my high beams and wait. someone on the other end would flash theirs and we would drive down and make the turn to see about 100 cars parked behind a warehouse. $10 to get in, $1 beers to anyone (if you needed alcohol, most didn't 'need it' already...) and usually a DJ with a portable system on the 'stage' - more lasers, lighting and smoke machines than you would expect to see at a mobile party, and the lights would go out and the DJ would stop once in a while with a command to "shut the F up" when a lookout would signal someone that the police were around. Later the big ones went to the local Indian reservations to skirt permit issues. Good times to be young.

Those were the days! I did that scene for some 6 or 7 years. 90-96ish. Those types of raves were so much fun. Todays raves aren't as much fun as those were. Although I've been to a few larger festival's and they were quite fun. I've considered going on the groove cruise, even now as I'm an old white guy.
Any of you Colorado folk ever do any of the raves that happened down at Bishop's castle?
 
I'm an old white guy that hates Rap and Hip-hop but loves modern hard rock. I listen to the same music as my thirty something year old kids. Most of my friends are listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd and ZZ Top while it's Chevelle, Tool, Nine Inch Nails and God Smack for me. I do like Techno but just don't listen to it much. I listened to the classic crap for decades. I'm over it.
 
My good friend grew up going to underground raves in NYC back in the 90's.
He's totally hard core.
 
Mom 50 years ago just called it all "jungle music"! lol

Buddy Holley? It took America 5 years to figure out he was not a Black dude, back in the day!! lol

They called us NYC club kids, then they “cleaned up” New York and the scene went under ground. I lost 5 years of my life in there somewhere! Used to take the PATH train from Newark to meet up with friends in the belly of these two giant buildings. Important to me cuz you could navigate back in various states of messed up, as you could see them from anywhere on the island. My last trip was March of 01, and some asshole knocked my markers down! I graduated that year and hid out in the North Woods for 15 years trying to forget that wild time.
Tell me if you don’t hear some of the roots of Trance in this oldie?
 
I'm in a death metal band we have killer bass, metal death metal is only what i listen to not zoo lander crap.
 
ok, i will say i enjoyed this on





Okay, I'll bite...tell us what band
that reminds me of a buddy of mine who used to be big into Christian metal (i know, its an oxymoron)

at least once a week hed tell me he had a conversation with someone and he told them hes into Christian metal
then they would say "oh like Creed?"
he would reply, "Yes...only Christian, and metal"

I like quite a bit of metal too. Some of the Christian genre has some good stuff (but so does some of the satanic stuff)...if the music's good, I'll listen. Nice thing about some of the metal is you can't understand what they're saying anyway. Other bands do an incredible job of combining great music with empowering lyrics.
 
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. ...
And I'm not a prude....I'm very eclectic.
That said, hip hop and rap are pure ****.
No talent crap.
I opened my silverware drawer and the bottom let go...sounded 100 times better than the crap these guys call "music".
 
Funny the O.P. asked who liked edm, rap and raving. Not who didn't.

I like all musics. I do at least 60 shows a year, mostly metal. but include the other genre's on the side of Metal.

Raving was a great time back in the day. Still goes on today just on a different scale.
Any of you ever go on the groove cruise? I've considered it. I do the metal cruises but have not done the edm cruise yet.

Once in a while I'll go to a hip hop show. My last was Tech9. Pretty wild, especially since I'm one of the few white guys. But I like a good challenge. And their mosh's are a little weird but still fun.
 
At the EDM concerts at Red Rocks outside of Denver the bass was soooo loud it was rattling widows a few miles away at Morrison. Like 250,000 watts into 48" subs or something like that. Made them turn it down
