another thing for me for why im not into pins, its cuz when i started doing the electronic thing, it was weird, it was underground, and pretty much unknown. people had never even heard of dubstep when i was into it. i liked the fact that it was weird. i like being a little different
i dont do pins for the same reason i dont wear kandi. bc to me, everyone just does that shit cuz other people do too. like obvy not everyone but a very large portion yes. and yea, pins are a million times cooler than kandi, but to me its essentially the same thing just slightly diff scenes
i feel like people do it just bc others do and i really really hate being a follower. i didnt start doing this kinda stuff to fit in

like even at shows i dont dress like a hippy. i def dont play the part
youd never know ive been in this scene longer than most just by looking at me. and i like that. i like surprising people
i just look like a normal person at shows but once you start talkin to me its pretty clear i know exactly what im talkin about
everyone tries to play the part and i just like being a bit different. everyone looks the same with their weird alladin pants and heady hat pins and those scarfs all the hippies wear under their hat

I'll wear tour shirts sometimes, and the hat. But anymore usually golf shirts cause they're comfortable as fuck, especially in the heat. I'm clean shaven, have really short hair, am muscular....and kinda look a lot like a cop. The Dead tattoo I have is a giveaway that I'm not though. folks will often assume I'm college custie cause I look young for my age, or 5-0. Until we start talking & whatnot. It's funny seeing 20 year olds trying to push their products & acting heady, when in some of the cases I was the one supplying their bosses with L several years ago.

Frankly I'm far more interested in making new memories with new experiences. Ones that don't involve getting all spun out & buck wild.
This is why I stopped doing drugs. Getting fucked up and wooking it hard are fun, but eventually it starts taking a toll on your body/mind. Going to see music and interacting with people sober is actually a lot more fun than I thought. I spend less money, remember everything, don't have to worry about doing anything stupid, and wake up the next day feeling 100%. Its also entertaining watching drunk people act like idiots completely sober, though it does get annoying hearing people repeat themselves over and over again.

i just like drugs cuz it makes a show thats already crazy, 10x crazier
like im not going to a concert to be sober. fuck that. like what is it? school? work? no. im there to have fun my own way
like i guess ill do local shows like not getting fucked up but any big event im going balls to the wall for
if i dont remember a show i really dont care, for me, the show is about experiencing it at its fullest, its about living in the moment. if i dont remember who cares, cuz you were there having a ton of fun when it was actually happened
its like why i dont take videos at shows, cuz i wanna experience it at its fullest. it kinda kills me when i see someome just recording the show and doing nothing during THE best parts of that show. it wasnt meant to be expeirenced thru a 4 inch screen ya know?

Cool story, it's still silly though. For the price of most pins you could by a shirt or food or something of actual value.
Pins have very little practical value, collecting dozens of them like some sort of Pokémon trainer to me seems very materialistic.

My priorities changed as I got older. I've been to hundreds of shows over the year on every drug you can think of, it's a lot of fun but I have as much fun sober. Only thing I really miss is being able to stay up later.

yeah pretty much
some pins are cool cuz theyre like made for the festival/event youre at. like an electric forest 2014 pin for example. but like to me thats the extent of how cool it is
most pins people buy are spun decisions and they just look cool like at face value

that's complete horseshit. Pins have value if you're into them. If you like something it has value. Collectables also have the ability to accrue more worth over time. You could have made the same thread about action figures, and some are worth a lot of money. I was into collecting magic cards when I was younger. I liked them because they looked. Some of the ones I used to own are now worth hundreds to over a thousand dollars. I have enough shirts (which have no more value then pins btw) plenty of food, etc. The reality is I have plenty of money to buy all the necessities, party favors, and pins. I'm by no means broke. Definitely no more silly then blowing all your money on weed, pills & frat parties.

I haven't spent $1000's on pins but I do have a few. I don't buy a bunch at one time. Usually just one of its good event and the pin means something to me.
Like this pin of Waldo meditating with a long beard and long hair. i was wearing a where's Waldo costume, because I showed up to this mega rave by myself but was meeting a bunch of friends there. So I made them play the game where's waldo in real life. I found a guy selling pins and he had this pin called 'Waldo Finds Himself!' I thought it was really clever and meant to be since I was wearing the costume. Pins like that hold sentimental value to me. No one talking shit about pins will ever take away the feeling I had while spun outta my mind looking like a straight dork and finding this pin, out of the million pins he had this is the only one I could see on his board.

Didnt you say earlier in this thread that you've only been into electronic music/rave scene for 5 years?! I went to my first rave 19 years ago and don't consider that I was involved when it was "underground". Dubstep was in its death throes in 2010. You may be deluding yourself on some things, bassfreak.
