America’s Teens Are Choosing YouTube Over Facebook

Everyone has their own thing. Probably my second favourite thing is hanging out with friends and talking and laughing with wine.

But I love nothing more than dancing the night away with great music. I'm a raver. Facebook Events is a game changer.

When I started going to raves you got a phone call from a guy who heard from a guy that there was a layby off a remote B-road that you might want to be at and when you got there another guy would give you directions along an unnamed road to an abandoned airfield and that was where the rave was.

Now we got corporate raves on a public website. The old way was better.

Yes, the raves you will only hear about from friends of friends are very much alive and well. Weekly in my area. The bars/clubs close at two, these start right after and go to 8am... 1pm next day... whatever you want.

I have to imagine those secret raves still exist.

I also have to imagine that sometimes you just want to dance and it's probably nice to not have to jump through a lot of hoops to find a fun party.

That way still exists, so not really "old way".
