As those of you that have gone to "raves" knows, (and this can be any generation of rave, from the 80's through to the 90s, UK or US variants) the party NEVER ends. That's what the after parties are for. Aparently this occured at such a get-together.
Now, my raving days are long behind me, I admit, being part of the US northeast ravescene from 1995 to 1999 or so, which involved NO zombism at all, but rather ridiculous candy bracelets, oversized skate trousers that just kept getting bigger at the bottom as the years went on, cute animie haircuts before anime was actually mainstream in the US, and such related culturalisms. But definately, I never once saw a zombie or likeness of such - maybe some gothic ravers or "gravers" as we used to call em towards the end, once in a while. But definately NO zombies. I'd like to suggest that the media use of the term rave might be loose at best in describing this event. Either that or I'm just extremely unhip. And if the raves don't resemble the ones I remember, I seriously doubt they resembled the traditional raves of the UK in the mid 80s to early 90s. Perhaps any teen party or get together that might involve dancing and/or drugs of any kind is called a rave these days.
Regardless, it's sad that it happened. If its not a wake up call about the insanity of the gun laws in this country, then i'm not sure what is. But i do know one thing - this type of event is only sure to become more common in the future. |
