Our emotional state of choice is Ecstasy. Our nourishment of choice is Love. Our addiction
of choice is technology. Our religion of choice is music. Our currency of choice is
knowledge. Our politics of choice is none. Our society of choice is
utopian though we know it will never be.

You may hate us. You may dismiss us. You may
misunderstand us. You may be unaware of our existence. We can only hope you do not care
to
judge us, because we would never judge you.

We are not criminals. We are not disillusioned. We are not drug addicts. We are not naive
children. We are one massive, global, tribal village that transcends man-made law,
physical geography, and time itself.

We are The Massive. One Massive. We were first drawn by the sound. From far away, the
thunderous, muffled, echoing beat was comparable to a mother's heart soothing a child in
her womb of concrete, steel, and electrical wiring. We were drawn back into this womb,
and
there, in the heat, dampness, and darkness of it, we came to accept that we are all
equal.
Not only to the darkness, and to ourselves, but to the very music slamming into us and
passing through our souls: we are all equal.

And somewhere around 35Hz we could feel the
hand of God at our backs, pushing us forward, pushing us to push ourselves to strengthen
our minds, our bodies, and our spirits. Pushing us to turn to the person beside us to join
hands and uplift them by sharing the uncontrollable joy we felt from creating this magical
bubble that can, for one evening, protect us from the horrors, atrocities, and pollution
of the outside world. It is in that very instant, with these initial realizations that
each of us was truly born.

We continue to pack our bodies into clubs, or warehouses, or buildings you've abandoned
and left for naught, and we bring life to them for one night.Strong, throbbing, vibrant
life in it's purest, most intense, most hedonistic form.

In these makeshift spaces, we seek to shed ourselves of the burden of uncertainty for a
future you have been unable to stabilize and secure for us. We seek to relinquish our
inhibitions, and free ourselves from the shackles and restraints you've put on us for your
own peace of mind. We seek to re-write the programming that you have tried to
indoctrinate
us with since the moment we were born.

Programming that tells us to hate, that tells us to
judge, that tells us to stuff ourselves into the nearest and most convenient pigeon hole
possible.

Programming that even tells us to climb ladders for you, jump through hoops, and
run through mazes and on hamster wheels.

Programming that tells us to eat from the shiny
silver spoon you are trying to feed us with, instead of nourish ourselves with our own
capable hands.

Programming that tells us to close our minds, instead of open them. Until the sun rises to
burn our eyes by revealing the distopian reality of a world you've created for us, we
dance fiercely with our brothers and sisters in celebration of our
life, of our culture, and of the values we believe in: Peace, Love, Freedom, Tolerance,
Unity, Harmony, Expression, Responsibility and Respect.

Our enemy of choice is ignorance. Our weapon of choice is information. Our crime of choice
is breaking and challenging whatever laws you feel you need to put in place to stop us
from celebrating our existence.

But know that while you may shut down any given party, on any given night, in any given
city, in any given country or continent on this beautiful planet, you can never shut down
the entire party. You don't have access to that switch, no matter what you may think.

The music will never stop. The heartbeat will never fade. The party will never
end!

I am a raver, and this is my manifesto.




Raves are a legitimate cultural event just like rock concerts, art exhibitions and film
screenings, and can be an important outlet for young people.

!!!!!!!!!!*******"In a world where most every authentic expression of youth culture
is commodified by a media conglomerate and sold back to teens at the mall, rave culture
stands as one of the few, relatively uncorrupted outposts for America's kids," .
