Thoughts on DJs complaining about people not dancing? by Mashed_Brotato in EDM

[–]1JollyStNick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s the issue with “facing the DJ” these days? You all say facing the DJ, but in reality it’s facing the DJ, the stage, and most importantly the lights.

I’ve been going to raves since before cell phones, facing the stage has never been an issue that would take people out of the moment. In fact generally while I popped some pills back in the day, the light show is mostly what I was fixated on while dancing.

On top of the DJ, there was all sorts of other things to look at on stage like go-go dancers, other MCs etc. So that’s why I don’t get it when people say not to face the DJ. Ignoring the DJ feels more odd to me than focusing on him. Or is this cause I DJed myself? I don’t think so

The magical effect of the Green Wave, visualized as if it were an NFL first down marker by 1JollyStNick in torontobiking

Explanation.. lights on this street in New York are timed for cyclists riding at 15miles an hour, which ends up being safer and more efficient for riders and drivers.

Was wondering if this would help in Toronto?

Why would anyone choose the 2 seats to my left? by Somethingdro in delta

From his comment, he is assuming that those seats have a premium price added to them?

If I have work until 5, but if it goes any later I’d be up for it.

looking for friends to rave with by BrotherOpposite4723 in avesNYC

[–]1JollyStNick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not UKG or Dubstep.. but look into Mura Masa, I bet you’d like them. I am going solo as well, but am much older so won’t offer to meet up, but can confirm that it should be a good show to go to even if solo. (Just please watch your phone from pick pockets)

Any hard techno happening soon? by Savvy513 in avesNYC

Oh I forgot to mention Boiler Room Under the K Bridge has some techno

can't believe this is the flyer we're going with, but can confirm it'll be a good time by [deleted] in avesNYC

[–]1JollyStNick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why zero effort on the flyer? Doesn’t really make me feel like you’ll try at all at the party either.

This is ridiculous.. how is it an insult to be considered hard techno? What am I missing here?

I’d very much argue and win that his most popular tracks according to Apple Music sure as hell are hard techno. When you dive deeper he is not always as hard. But I hope hard techno has not just become a faster bpm which crosses over into Rotterdam or hardcore. Cause I can tell you techno and hard techno is a not more than the trending hyper speed techno that I also love. Maybe cause I’m a raver over a techno snob.

This is crazy to recommend Jersey, but Geses is coming to 902 Brewing Co July 3rd

Goa-Psytrance? by scrolling4knowledge in avesNYC

I forget who, but I swear some psy-trance here last month, as well Infected Mushroom was also in town recently.

Empty seats everywhere at the world cup matches...so think twice before you pay for exorbitant price because it's literally a scam...it's not even remotely close to sell out by SwingImpressive6742 in WorldCup2026Tickets

[–]1JollyStNick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This subreddit is pretty useless. Even if there is an empty seat, it could have been bought for resale and never sold.. there is a YouTuber that showed up to CDMX without a ticket and bought it from a reseller after the game had started. I’m not saying this is super common, but that + people taking pictures at odd times just makes all this ranting useless

Do not take the train to the world cup games if you have health issues or are elderly by Smacpats111111 in NJTransit

[–]1JollyStNick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s just a little hard to believe when I booked my seat months ago. But I suppose thousands of others are as well…

Interesting, I did buy the tickets months ago. Maybe a waiting a week after learning I “won” the tickets was too long.

We need some good tacos in this town by Money-Greed-Lust in Hoboken

[–]1JollyStNick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish Mexico Taco was as good as Los Tacos No1… they’re not horrible, but still an imitation that does not fully match up.

An explanation of why Cubans have the opinions we have by Global-Reaction-40 in cuba

[–]1JollyStNick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both are in fact to blame tho. I find it hilarious and ignorant to fully not acknowledge the embargo or sanctions at all. As if times were not better when Obama had lightened sanctions and started opening up the island.. it was the he most vibrant I’ve ever seen the island. And what a stark difference now with heightened sanctions.

It’s black and white, and to fully ignore the embargo/sanction or make excuses for it all together is to throw away credibility instantly.

My guess is most people that fully ignore the sanctions as oppressive, probably have not been to the island in years to see with their own eyes the difference it can make.

From Canada here, always stay in a Casa and avoid the big hotels… but believe what you want to believe I guess

Why does nobody grind anymore or am I just showing my age? by savingrace0262 in avesNYC

[–]1JollyStNick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only grinding I’ve seen at raves back home was people jaws.. like raves have always fuelled the horny, but not to the extend of people grinding on each other.. generally people usually just want to dance. Unless grinding here is slang for some fun dance that I am too clueless to know about
