This is the most important insight from Mayday's link :

-You know that raving is all about the music, but RAVERS are not.

Then compare it to the original post and look for the references to the actual music.

I think only a bit of the list applies to me especially this one

-You learn to spin, and therefore have graduated to the "superior rave status".

I can do a 720 and back...does that mean I've graduated to "uber mega superior pope raving status"?

According to the first list I suck as a raver, according to the jaded one though I qualify for 90% of them. Except I dance like a retarded penguin crossed with a headless chook.

This clubber's list is sort of similar :huh:

20 Ways to know if you’re a clubber…

1. Air, water, food, medication… all holds equal importance to you.

2. The total amount of sleep you get on weekends is the sum total of how many times you’ve blinked since Friday night.

3. Your sleeping patterns would kill normal human beings.

4. You’re dead against drinking alcohol, but will snort horse tranquiliser with no prompting needed.

5. You start to think of Chuppa Chups as a separate food group.

6. You can live for an entire weekend out of your back pack.

7. You’re happy when there is a recession because it means more empty warehouses.

8. While your friends are getting married and have kids, your collecting yo-yo’s and trying to remove chewing gum from your cargo pants.

9. You visit your folks and you’ve got absolutely nothing to say to your parents about your weekend.

10. You can stand in front of a 12,000 watt speaker for a hour and be loving every minute of it.

11. You grin whenever you see a commercial for “E News”.

12. You can keep a straight face while uttering “Honestly, not that many people are on drugs…”

13. You’re willing to spend $50 for a ticket for an event you might not go to, & $50 for something that might be aspirin, but you’re not willing to part with $3 for a bottle of water.

14. You are driving your car home and it feels like a video game.

15. Your friend hear tumbling noises coming from the washing machine and all start to argue whether it is jungle or hardcore.

16. Almost every letter of the alphabet has a separate meaning to you.

17. You forgot your dreams of becoming a doctor and start to wonder what it would be like to be a cartoon character.

18. You’ve got a huge pile of glow-sticks in your room you can’t throw away because of ‘sentimental value’.

19. You loose 10 kilos in one night and the last thing you think about the next morning is eating.

20. You’ve been close friends with some one for weeks without actually knowing their name.

Hahaha... No seriously, if I'm out, I'm usually dancing, alcohol doesn't make me a better dancer, it makes me feel all heavy and like I want to fall asleep, what's the point on numbing your mind with any substance if you're out there to enjoy music, alcohol especially. Everyone says how not bad it is, but I think it's the worse drug, it causes the most deaths and there are more alcoholics than drug addicts.

Anyways I'll stop trying to justify my hatred for alcohol.

I completely agree there, if your out for the music all alcohol does is numbs your senses and makes you tired.

True - but note there is no mention of any soft toys, lollies, dressing kandi or anything else that distinguishes a rave from the rest of the dance music community :huh:

You think alcohol causes more deaths than tobacco?
