Also, for a woman of 40 something years, some view my lifestyle as ‘wierd’. :crazy_fre Mind you, i don’t know anyone my own age who loves avin it to heavy basslines all night:horay: , or mixin it up at home til i like!!! :horay: Shame. Boring fuckers!:rant:
I know a good number of people in their 40s or even older who regularly attend raves.
However I have noticed a trend (even amongst ravers) to think “its a young persons lifestyle” and definitely there seems to be a prejudice from wider society for older people to get involved.
The cops and peoples parents think you are some sort of deviant trying to corrupt the youth or a bad parent if you have kids of your own 🙁
I think its becoming a big problem in East Anglia as people think “raves are only selfish little kids events done on other peoples resources” when in fact they are (or were) part of a wider alternative mindset and lifestyle.
that said a lot of older people do attend raves but don’t like talking about it for the reasons above.
We need more people of all ages to join on line communities like this , and to argue for their lifestyles to continue as it is reaching a crunch point where parties are being pushed further and further into really remote areas!
yeah I know exactly what you mean. Most ravers have responsible jobs, some are even parents themselves and many give positive/sensible advice to their peers as well as encouraging them to have fun.
