Well— they’re really enthused about it because this is many hours into a long set, and they’re all on drugs. It’s a sunrise set at Ibiza.
The thing about dance music is that the art being produced there isn’t the music—it’s the crowd, and if you aren’t out there sweating your ass off, turning strangers into friends and having the best night of your life, of course it makes no sense.
And also, a lot of them are being creative. There’s a lot of creativity in the scene— in how people dress and how people dance, if nothing else.
- linkmotif 9y agoI’ve tried here and there. Drugs and all. The drugs are fantastic. The groups, not so. I think large groups oriented around a person—who, and this is the key I guess, who’s not doing anything interesting—just hurts me a little.
- empath75 9y agoYeah when I first started going clubbing was before the whole superstar DJ thing really took root. To me it should always be about dancing first, so I get that.
- 3131s 9y agoHaha, I'm with you -- that's why I do drugs alone. I also see nothing special about the music in the clip above, albeit more interesting music would be drowned out by such a big crowd. It bothers me because there is other non dance-oriented electronic music that is much better IMO, but people tend to only associate club / rave stuff with electronic music.
- linkmotif 9y agoI’ve done drugs at raves and every time I slip outside and just talk and hang out with people. The rave seems fake to me, in the sense that people are trying to get something out of it that’s not there, like church. Sure, you can convince yourself that church is a spiritual experience that gives you meaning and belonging, but it seems fake to me. Emphasis on “to me.” Doing drugs alone is great, too!
