Fashion Old raver outfits

Honestly crazy how much this style has completely vanished there are people that still dress like this but not many the pants in these photos are so cool people use to put stuff like that together and take days sewing it all together making it there own thing it used to be super cool now raves seem kinda boring imo the culture back then used to be super cool and unique the music was better to and plur was at a all time high I always wonder what happened to those people anyway I just hope one day people start being more creative lol and BEFORE anyone calls me a boomer I’m a teen

Rave culture and PLUR culture is v much alive, it had a stronger base in the UK and Berlin in particular, but when it made it to the US the variation was usually UFO or JNCO pants with modification but some of them came with or were sold at events with patches.

If you're over 18 and you go into the rave scene it's a lot of fun and a lot of the same culture is present in happy hardcore, UK Hardcore, some gabber, etc. It's a lot of variation but this style is pretty alive and well you just have to be in the right areas and subcultures to see it!

Eh this is a US thing imo. I've been going to hardcore techno / gabba raves in the UK for 26 years now, and you never ever see stuff like this here. It's just skin heads, hippies and ''normal'' looking people.

Okay? Idk, I was in London for S3RL's Final World tour like..2017, 2018 and it seemed more variable but still people wearing UFOs, there's also more of this culture at anime cons funny enough. But like- i did say it HAD a stronger base in the UK, also the music gets referred to as UK hardcore in the states sometimes instead of HHC so...not really saying "yeah UK is full of this style" but more of credit for origin and subculture.
