I am about to get shot down in flames but........yes...I couldn't write it any smaller. I have been to some amazing events with just House, Drum&Bass and Hardcore or a combo of the two. However the question said rave and rave was is and should be magpie eclectic. So old skool boy talking but in 93, I went to the uk's tribal gathering, it was over 25,000 ppl and the event was so good because it had Hardcore, Techno, House, Garage and Ambient/Trance tents. I personally really dislike the segragation thing, cos it was posser housers that started it (take notice mixmag!!) and i wouldn't want to be one of them. The big mixed events gave a festival feel to them and the different music didn't change the similarity in people you would meet, we were diverse but united in on thing, to party how we wanted to whatever dance music. Now I stress I would not be happy with 2Unlimited at a rave cos they are sh!t sellouts but Garage though popular is not selling out.
I do enjoy exclusive Hardcore dance nights with a side room of something else but the big 'rave' events need as many styles as possible.
For me I would prefer a garage room or a hip hop room to a cord wearing chinstroking prog house room. I would still argue though even housers and sellout trancers should be forgiven at some stage as I want the dance scene to continue developing and growing.
I belong to a tribe and HHC is personally my calling but i can't dislike or try to stop what other ppl hear and prefer to me.
When will we stop looking at differences and start seeing similarities?
Note Glastonbury, it is a huge success because it won't and shouldn't aim at only on one group of ppl.
I use to listen to indie, metal, hippie, beatles, rap, hiphop, industrial stuff and have more in common with all of those types that larger swilling beer pop boys who always wanted to beat me up;
POP has its forum, all the rest can only over come that if we stick together to fight its dominance. It will never go away but even pop can be considered uncool at times. Some pop I do like (like those two russian girls) but i do not like its over commercialization and make a buck attitude.
So the way I see it is, promote anything that needs promoting , ignore what doesn't as MTV will do it for you

the problem is times have changed though, where i live you dot go to a garage club out of self preservation. i know im generalising masssiely and most of the garage fans in the uk are perfectly nice lads, but theres an element to them that really loves this "ghetto thug" ideology, and raves arent places for people to go an kick off shit.
ill probably git replys tellin me that wot ive just said is a crock of shit, but speaking from personal experience, garage recently attracts a fair amount of kids that want to prove how tuff they are, for some it isnt even about the music, its about putting on a front to impress the older blokes hu no one messes with cuz theyre known to be ppl u dont mess with. considering ive never seen the metal detectors on at the sanctuary and seen few people get searched, i doubt alot of garage kids wanting to prove how hard they are mixing with the hardcore, some of which are guna mashed off their tits, is guna work too well.
when my lot are out we make a point of stayin away from the garage club, cuz we git abuse, and a few of my mateshave had the shit kicked out of them by the new garage crew.
i wanna go to a rave cuz u kno that ur safe, surrounded by friends, and ur all their to dance and have fun, an i dont wanna hafta think bout what im guna do wen sumone pulls a knife on me on my way down there.
sorry if ive offnded any secret garage fans, but like i said, im speaking from personal experience.
and i think the music is poop,
mebbe speed garage

i mean garage is for 13yr olds in my opinion, cos its a watered down and more commerical form of drum n bass,
gimme HHC at a rave and we can party like its 1996
