Rave culture and the web

[Melooon]

I'm curious about how many people here are interested in rave culture; both irl and digital rave culture! Have you/Do you go to raves? I've never been to one, but I've been told that they have a strong emphasis on the idea of giving and broken down boundaries (people often give strangers gifts like necklaces, trinkets, seashells etc at raves and its part of the experience).

In a way the idea of gliding in and out of peoples zones as you all share a semi-connected experience while giving gifts in a maximalist dream world feels a lot like how I look at the web, and I wonder how much rave culture influenced early web culture (they were both big in the 90s after all).

What are your experiences with rave culture, rave music, etc! And how does it connect into the web for you

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to attend a rave... YET!!!! I look forward to the very special moment in my life which will be my first rave. I've been making kandi bracelets for several years now, and although I am NO expert, they're fun!

I'm happy to say that I'm not the only one. My moirail also learned from me, and now we make them together from time to time!
I feel like eventually, we will have enough kandis to be able to trade to others. Most are ones I make to reflect, or remember the self. Though, we've both started to make more and more to trade to random strangers we come across! x2 kandis successfully traded/gifted. Sometimes it's cooler to give a gift to someone unsuspecting!
Surprising people with love, I feel, is what a rave is all about. I'm glad that we're able to find ways around not being able to attend one yet. I'd say we're spreading love and care from where we stand currently! And I am so happy and proud of that

Yes, interested, both, been.

It’s all about the people. You meet people and share in an experience which bonds you in some weird way, just like any sort of festival really.

Would recommend.
