pearwaldorfInteresting article by Douglas Rushkoff (read him, he's cool) about the early days of the rave movement.
If it really is a religion, then I suppose rave is over in some respects. For once it can be catalogued and comprehended, is it still a spiritual experience capable of breaking the boundaries between self and everything else?
Raving as a search for God. There's so much that doesn't make it past the filters of mainstream media to squares like me. I remember a coworker of mine telling me about the early rave scene in Portland, the goth clubs where he used to hang out: "It didn't matter if you were goth or not, gay or straight. Everybody just danced."
