1. I was a raver in the 1990s (when it REALLY existed), and no, it didn't look like emo, Skrillex, or any of the stupid face-painted crap today. Rave looked like punk with more dayglo, less black, and a penchant for monochrome stripes or classic clothing. DJ KittyLitter wasn't goth, Ronna(the basketcase) from the move "Go" was raver.

2. That fat blob of goo in the photo is NOT TECHNO. Those are club kids. Please please please do not confuse club kids with ravers. They're nothing alike and they're a couple generations apart.

3. Ravers not exist today, nor has it since the early 1990s. What exists today is something else that is often mistaken for being rave by younger people who don't realize that techno was an era, not a fashion choice. It was a subculture based on creativity (and filled primarily with artists), and NOT something you could buy at the mall. If you wear it without making it or altering it yourself, it's not raver; It's mall-punk, at best. It's cheap-ass scenesters at worst. It's emo leftovers at Hot Topic at very worst.

4. I can believe Jen Aniston was a raver. She's an artistic person, and it would have been a natural fit for her.

5. Despite what carrion_luggage said, the Mod movement ended in the early 1970s, and it was primarily an English thing; Didn't happen much in America. Mod eventually blossomed into Glam.

I think your Tripp pants are too tight.

There is a movement afoot that the above bolded business be referred to, henceforth and forever, as Mallternative.

Well I liked it.

So if house music came on at a party and I yelled out this is great techno would you start listing these things off? I'm trying to figure out how many seconds it would take before I punched you in the mouth and sold your ecstasy for a quick buck.

Treygreen13: That was probably the least terrible dubstep thing I've heard.

This. And it's probably because the source material is so excellent.

BOTH THIS

This sounds like it could be a Ween b-side from the Pod era. Like Sketches of Winkle meets Dr. Rock and Captain Fantasy then put through the Awesome Sound.
