Yeah I'm 41 I don't give a fuck. Loads of older people everywhere I go as well as young too... but our generation never grew up and we still act like kids. I don't know if that's a good thing or not but it is how it is.

yeah that's gotta be it. 1st generation ravers are all grown up now. in years at least. i'm 35 and have had some experiences where i felt old in a club. but those places were usually playing music i wasn't into anyway.

US midwest hardcore label drop base network hosted their "further" raves in the 90s/early 2000s. when they brought it back a couple of years ago ("even further"), one of the ticket price tiers was an old ravers discount for people over age 50 (some of whom probably went to the original raves).

I am 39 and I haven't been to clubs let alone raves since ten years. Actually, I got the impression a lot of kids today DON'T go out to clubs as "we" did. Also, statistics for music festivals kinda confirms this, I only got numbers for Germany, but it says ca 50% of festival goers are between 35 and 54 (!)

I'm sure you're right, although I'm too repressed for even an English wedding so I doubt I'd fare well.

poor corpse surrounded by sweaty monobrowed men, forcing him to eat a goats hoof covered in flies. all of them smiling at him with complete central asian indifference to his squeemishness. men kissing each other but in a 'local custom' kind of way. all of which happening under strip lighting in a rented school sports hall.

yes but the berlin value set is antithetical to techno. its prog house people discovering techno. the only people who get it are the basic channel guys and expats like objekt. otherwise all that norman nodge/marcel detmann stuff is beyond boring.

this isn't about that, this is purely about luka being able to let his hair down in a comfortable environment. im trying to help.

That's right. Although getting to Berlin in time after I've just done a load of acid might prove a challenge. Maybe we should all descend en masse and demand yyaldrin and patty show us a good time

It's all sound and fury cos none of us produce, own a record label, are influential in the media, or anything.

I've often wondered if Dissensus could ever really *do* something, other than chatting on here (not to say that chatting on here isn't something in of itself).

This should be talked about some more

I feel most of us are too old to do anything on the creative side. (Are there examples of musicians older than 30 who created something new and exciting?)

I can only imagine us fulfilling a curatorial or journalistic role. Becoming #influencers.

And I can't imagine that very strongly either lol

I am interested to know though what oldsters contributed to exciting genres.

Like was Rob Playford 42 when he made Renegade Snares?

"That is no country for old men. The young
In one another's arms, birds in the trees,
—Those dying generations—at their song,
The salmon-falls, the mackerel-crowded seas,
Fish, flesh, or fowl, commend all summer long
Whatever is begotten, born, and dies.
Caught in that sensual music all neglect
Monuments of unageing intellect."

Sensual music - for the horny, thrusting puppies
