We all have to grow up eventually. We cant be stuck in the rave world forever.
Would you be going after you get married? after you have kids?
Raves are a thing for young people. Its not set in stone, but for the most
part its for young people. I think a year of raving is left before you need to get going
with your life, get a job, get a house, and possibly have a family.

Tho, no one can tell you when you can stop. Only you can.

But if you took my opinion for it, I think you should stop very soon.
Start to pursuit your career.
Raves are just entertainment.

its never enough if you like edm and the crowd it draws. i started taking breaks that got longer and longer. its nice to switch it up between scenes. over the years ive seen a lot of new faces that are becoming familiar and still see some of the same people from when i started.

you got your priorities straight, so im curious to what has you asking the question.

well to say i think it was just more of a cry out post due to the fact that my raver chick left me yesterday because she had to get her life straight and she said raves were hendering it and all the friends i started with they all stopped literally im the only one from my time that i know that is still in the game i mean ya i held my head on right and got everything that i need i carry on a successful lifestyle unhindered by bs and downs im actually lookin into management of my own restaurant but i guess the biggest thing was the lonliness of and feeling of loss

woah. its deeper than finding a gray hair, finding nu-electro faggish or finding more than three people shuffling simultaniously kinda silly.
i didnt rave much when i was with the girl i borrowed. she never said anything bad about raves, she used a more powerful form of communication called feminine body language. unknowingly i stopped partying. i would of asked her to stop going with me if i had realized i was getting out less and less. its something a person shouldnt have to ask.
your gf doesnt like raves because they hinder her life. then she shouldnt go to raves. im sure theres a bigger reason than raves for why she left [thanks for not sharing].
raves are more than entertainment. its a subculture celebrating something civilization has always celebrated until modern-day. life. and life wont always be at the [venue]. eventually youll move on from flier parties but you may be taking a weekend off from that restaurant to gather around with random people and dance until dawn. its not a matter of age. check your dna, we're wired this way.
so lets say in ten years youre still together. youre managing a stressful life. shes not supportive of the things that balance you. damn dood, it would suck. your single. lifes a bitch. celebrate it. rave on and feed the people man

[SwEeTiE (F.O.E)(T.R.)(E.Y.B.)]

that was pretty deep man and to say the least you are right indeed to say that just because of others i stop whats in my blood my very god given right to party and rage this has truly helped me on my insight thank you

"feed the people man."

If only every restaurant owner received such strong words of encouragement. (Heh)

Thanks jinn; I've been feeling a little old too lately (just turned 24), so it's nice to know that not everyone thinks I should "get my life in order" (?) and hang out at bars during the weekend rather than going to the occasional rave.

hmmm, raves are for young people...but most of the people making the music are older...

I feel we can grow up in the rave scene. I mean, just because I'm a raver doesn't mean I can't have a good job, house, etc. You can pursue a career without giving up the other parts of your life that you love. I will be going to raves after I am married, just ask my boyfriend, lol. There are those of us who don't want the responsibility of kids, what about us? I mean, you're making it seem like theres a cut-off age for raving or something. Like once you're over 23, thats it? You're not allowed to have fun anymore?

Sorry, but I'd rather not let myself become old and boring. I'd rather not let societies expectations of what I should be at my age define who I am. As soon as you let yourself start thinking that you're too old for something, you are.

And honestly, I don't ever see myself "growing up" any time soon.

Perhaps when you're older, you might feel the same way too.

if you get ^it^ .. you may be too old
