Club kid

• Club kid- Don't really know what's going on here. Not sure if anything can be salvaged, but should be merged as well. --Dmcdevit 06:36, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  • Hmm....... I think this can be merged with Rave party, which itself could use a lot of copyediting and some POV work. · Katefan0^(scribble) 22:34, Apr 23, 2005 (UTC)
  • Merged with Rave party.. also merged candy raver and created redirects. Did lots of copyediting to rave party itself, removed POV and questionable statements, but want to look it over once more before I declare it closed. · Katefan0^(scribble) 04:34, Apr 24, 2005 (UTC)
    • Think it's done. · Katefan0^(scribble) 18:09, Apr 24, 2005 (UTC)

Hi. Not sure if this is the correct place to leave a comment, but I just read the 'rave party' page and am proposing to put mmore stress on the aspects of its content which are US centric - club kid being one. Will Lakeman 00:01, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

• • • I think that the term "club kid" is misused here. While it can mean just about anyone who is interested in "club music" of the dance persuasion. In my recollection it was often used as a derogatory term for kids that were not about the music but were

part of the "club scene" and therefore imposters Joseph Buchanan

Entropa 19:31, 1 October 2006 (UTC) This article is not neutral. I think the article has been over-written, and need to cut down on the amount of detail about kinds of rave, and be more explanitory on what a rave is.

re : Glowsticking

i'm not sure there should be a whole section on glowsticking. the section is badly written as is (i think). glowsticking is one kind of dancing that happens at raves. so are flagging, firespinning, liquid dancing, popping, breaking, ...all kinds. why single out glowsticking? in my mind all that needs to be said about this is that glowsticks have stereotypically been associated with raving (where i come from anyways) -- they are "rave flavour" -- and that police have looked at glowsticks as drug paraphernalia when looking for excuses to shut parties down. that's it though. i don't think you can connect the fact that glowsticks are used to give someone a "lightshow" and the fact that police see them as drug paraphernalia. to me it doesn't wash logically. and no need in this section to describe a "light show."

• you know, that section's pretty bad, so i might just tidy it up a bit. here's what i'd say: <<Sometimes at raves you can see people dancing with glowsticks, holding them in their hands, moving them around their bodies, or twirling them on cords (Poi). Glowsticks are part of what makes a rave a rave. Police have sometimes used the sale of glowsticks at a party as evidence of drug use among the party-goers, and used this as a pretext to shut down the party.>> that's all i'd say in this section. everything else is subjective, based on someone's experience, off-topic, or can't be backed up. 209.82.111.194 17:40, 6 July 2006 (UTC)jpx

ps : glowsticks stimulate the pupils, ha, you see with your retinas, firstly, and secondly any light stimulates your retinas. that's how you see, and not just at a rave. i'm not sure if comments like this are supposed to go here, on the cleanup project page, or just on the talk page. hmm.... might have to double post this one.
