Login/Join to ParticipatePosted:So has anyone else noticed that many ravers, after a while in the scene, begin to develop their own way of speaking that non-ravers can barely understand, and also have brought back many words that were dying out? For example:plur (peace love unity respect)bts (brooklyn street thugs)sketchy, shady (usually interchangeable)mad (as in "very")sketchin' out (drugged-up)battling (w/glowsticks or breakdancing)breakin' (breakdancing)ufo's (the rave pants of choice)spinning (as in "who's spinning tonight?")robo-tripping, candy-flipping (specific orders of taking certain drugs for a certain kind of high)rockin' (as in, "i was rockin' my new black ufo's that night")candy (as a noun: bracelets, necklaces, made of glowing beads, or as an adjective: candy raver/kid; a raver with a lot of beads, funky clothes/costumes and fuzzy things)liquid (a style of dance, often done with stixalong with these come our words to describe all the different types of techno (some of which aren't really different at all), such as house, progressive house, happy hardcore, drum n bass, trance, hard trance, progressive trance, etc. not many outside the rave scene have even HEARD of these types of music (at least in my experience).can you come up with any more? i know i've missed lots, and i'm sure some of you have terminology specific to your own locales

A couple of balls short of a full cascade... or maybe a few cards short of a deck... we'll see how this all fans out.

don't theyhave something in south africa called "quito" (sp??)
it's a mix of zulu, africaans and english vocles mixed over rap/dance tunes???
It is called kwaito. Not close to rave at all.
Here in Cape Town SA we have raves and we have trance parties(outdoor mostly). The ravers and the trancies never use to sit round one fire when I started trancing, but nowadays is not worth going to a party.
Firstly the people try to stuff the drugs in your face - Not for me. And seccondly, when I started going to trances it was with my dad (real hippy by heart), I was about 9. It was only us "hippy's", new age old age, whatever. Entrance fee for the weekend was between R20 and R50. Nowadays it is between R150 and R200 or more!! That doesnt include anything except your entrance tag.
I'd rather go to the beach with my friends, play some Skazi or Infected Mushroom, and poi my heart out.
Mind you the fire perfomances at the trance parties are the only thing making it worth it.
I think all that I said in this post now was a bit
Anyway keep well, keep safe

Posted:Yes ravehead thanx for the info.
I only meant that it wasnt what it used to be.
If you wanted drugs you went to one of the stalls, nowadays the litterely shove it in your face. To me that is not free, but each person has their own perspective.
Anyway, keep it real.

Posted:they dont tend to shove it in your face if you become a known face at partys, generally by such time you have a trusted supply and random sellers don't bother you.
