Feeling the Pounding of the Music..

I was all worked up to going to a rave.. I mean how long has it been? It's been years.. at least 8 yrs, and I felt this would be an insanely exciting experience. Sadly it wasn't. The raving culture has died out a long time back, and I don't know if there will be a revival any time soon. I went with a friend and his friend and it was very interesting to see people all decked out in Halloween gear, some with their boobs exposed wearing vinyl pants.. I felt out of place. Like a nun in a strip club. Don't get me wrong.. there is nothing wrong with being creative and self expressive- but to what extent can you really be an individual?
I believe that individuality is overrated- that sadly if you thought of it, the next guy was already 10 steps ahead of you..
The music was way loud- that was when I realized.. hey I like the music, but not necessary in a venue that caters to 18+ kids.. It's ok I like being in my 20's , I like dressing up and going out for drinks.. call me a yuppie , call me old.. I enjoy the bartenders making up jazzie drinks.. I like to be thirsty and quenching it with a diet rum and coke!
