[Dan27358]

With just about every subculture I can think of, it’s usually an ‘inner elite’ or the old school founders who would establish such doctrines as PLUR. In the case of ravers, when it got started it was probably much like that, and then it started getting trendy and many outsiders (as in those who are clueless to PLUR) came in and didn’t give a rat’s ass about any of that stuff. And in L.A. usually half the people at raves are aloof teeny-boppers or frat/sorority/jock types looking for drugs, booze and skin or who are somehow gang-related. It’s the same with punk rock: something that’s supposed to be about working-class values and radical politics has been tarnished and diluted by Mtv and mass-consuming trend-followers and is now a pale shadow of what it was. Same thing with Goth: what was supposed to be an aesthetic appreciation of the darker side of life (through music, philosophy or dress) has been distorted into a Marylin Manson, trenchcoat satanic-wannabe farce, and the true heads remain in the underground where they’ve always been.
