<333 a raver is a negative stereotype? i think an overboard druggie is a bad stereotype, as some ravers are, but the same holds true for any other social group, preps with their alcohol, jocks with their steroids, punks with alcohol yet again(save the sXe kids), goths with their dippies, hippies with their pot/acid/shrooms, clubbers with, well, anything thats being sold...you name a group, they have a vice. electronica gets associated with ravers because it is the only form of music played at raves. electronica gets associated with drugs because the media portrays ravers as a bunch of drugged up deathwish heathens. but i personally see more glowsticks out and being used during trance sets than any other, so i think that stereotype is accurate ;) hehehe. what to do about it tho...just keep telling people thats not what its about, education is the best way to dispel nasty misbeliefs about anything, im in the same position when it comes to my body weight as you are when it comes to trance...people assume yer a drugged raver with glowsticks, people assume im a speed freak anorexic bulemic that wont REALLY eat all the food i got for dinner. is either the case? absolutely not. but its what the public has been taught to think about people like you and me. so thats when the LPPSWCPC has to step up and squash those nasty thoughts! <33333 (p.s. im listening to a PVD mayday set right now cause i always do whenever you post about your love of trance :) hehehe!)
