They still have raves?

[Chigworthy]

So I was perusing the local paper and found out that in a nearby county (very rural area), a Sacramento company threw a rave at a hippy farm and some of the employees got busted selling ex to undercovers. I had no idea that they still have raves. In the mid 90's, I knew some people who did this stuff, but I thought it had died and gone away.

Anyway, I looked around a little bit and found the rave company's photostream, and it is hilarious. When I remember the Rave crowd, they were young, vibrant, full of life losers who were usually attractive despite the yarn in their hair and stupid goggles. Well, aparently, the rave crowd doesn't get much new blood these days; it is the same people from back then, now they are all getting pudgy, pasty, and wrinkly after a decade or so of drugs and mindless self-indulgence.

My favorites are the DJ's. It seemed like they were all svelte little metros back in the days. Fast forward to today:

Is there anything worse than the really old guy who hangs out with younger people and they tolerate him because he probably has good drugs?

Check out the photostream, lots of laughs to be had.

They were gay when they first started...and still are apparently.

I looked at some of the pics. Didn't see much raving. Not impressed.

The music played at a typical rave might be the shittiest music on Earth.

I'm serious. Just try to listen to it during the day, completely straight, just sitting on the couch. You'll want to gouge out your eardrums very soon.
