One of the more humorous things in life is seeing a bunch of ravers with giant pants, oversized hoodies (and pupils), and random glow in the dark and/or edible bracelets on their arms chastising someone, "uuuugh... It's HOUSE, not 'techno.'"

I enjoy the music much more than the lifestyle, but if you can't afford to go see some completely different culture halfway across the globe, going to a few raves and people watching makes for an interesting night.
