The DC raver's 9/11

Check out these videos, especially if you were a DC raver in 1999. One of my good friends was, and she said that this expose by Fox 5 was "the DC ravers 9/11". She said that after this aired, everything changed. In fact, as you'll see, DC finally made MDMA illegal after this aired.

I was a raver in NJ/NY/PA area during that time period, never went to DC for a rave though. Giuliani was our 9/11. That faggot destroyed the NYC club/rave scene. Every good club went down during his reign. Twilo, The Tunnel, Limelight, Sound Factory and a bunch of other clubs.

Yeah, that was Nations. Buzz was shut down for a time after this aired. Everyone went over to Trax. Buzz eventually came back though, but the scene in DC was never the same after this.

Oh the humanity!
I was fortunate enough to experience the tail-end of the late 90's rave scene in Florida.. it hasn't been the same since.
It was unbelievable.. people really knew how to party. 
E was the first drug I experimented with and really changed my perception for the better.

That's awesome that the older Asian lady was defending the scene in part 2. We need more parents to be so open-minded.

that video reminds me of the current day club/rave scene in dallas.
i remember one night there was this chick and her husband both in their 20s even had the chicks mom out there partying on e.
its seriously just like it was portrayed on that news report, candy gets passed around...well just like candy. seems like all the drugs are around with ease except lucy, but even that's been making a comeback lately so i hear.
the music the dj's spin at the clubs i went to was fucking phenomenal as well. plus the whole scene is full of love, i don't think i ever heard a single unkind word in my time partying down there.
fuck i miss texas.

yeah i just hope the law doesn't start cracking down on it anytime soon. the dallas community really needs a scene like that.
there is far too much hostility and anger everywhere else in the city.

where is good for a rave scene these days? I wouldn't mind getting back into that.

I know I get fucked up at parties around dfw and I haven't been hated on once. It's pretty accepted around the clubs and shit but different places have different rules. Some clubs you can do what you want as long as it's not openly selling drugs. Some clubs don't care that your fucked up but "no in the face lightshows" "no binkies" "no vicks". Shit like that. I'm not "from the oldskool" but yeah the scene in Dallas is awesome. Especially with all these aliens and pokiballs goin around. Just picked up some new pokies

Belgium, free parties, every drug you can imagine and it's shared with everyone 
Fuckin' love the "scene" here, especially the fuck commercialism mentality as well.

I gotta go with afterlife. I love that place. Killer time everytime I'm there. Lizard lounge gets good artists playing but they can be kinda uptight. But I swear if you like to roll and you wanna club in Dallas. Check out 'life. You won't be disapointed. don't buy there though. You may run across a few cool kids but there are undercovers around.

Solid post. I watched the first video and I gotta go out and I'm going to watch the other parts in a while. Interesting look back on the end of the legendary rave scene of the 90s that most of us missed out on.

i never went to afterlife while i lived there but i knew some kids in mansfield that went there pretty often, and my cousin and her friends in gp went there alot to. seems like most of the people at life are just there to get fuckerd up.
i've got a few friends that dj around dallas and have spun some shows at life since i moved so it could be different now.
i know what you mean about the lounge being uptight tho.

I do feel old at afterlife. I'm 24 my wife is 26. But we love to party with the kids. And it may be the x but ... Are kids gettin sexier??? Oh wait maybe I'm becoming a dirty old man. Hmmm???? They are having a lingerie party this weekend but my wife said no 17 year old ass for me. Maybe because it's her birthday. Greedy bitch.

Maybe it's because you know you can't have it, so it's more alluring?
