so are you thirtysomethings simply a bunch of ravers who start becoming elitist and indie? or were you a bunch of computer geeks who enjoy the autistic nature of some good ol autechre? or were you simply indie fags who cry while listening to radiohead and buy 2000$ gear in order to make shitty bedroom music? hey, i'm really not trolling. just curios who you people are. i consider myself the first group, even though rave already died when i was 15. :( |

I'm a fucking lazer of the cosmos- with Zeus at my side freestylin' beatz- and setting free humanity from the shacklez of bullshit-- my jumpkick is so swift, it fucking sends faces back in time to yesteryear to regret their double-chins and intentional ugly. |

I'm 25 so I'm too young for rave and acid and shit really. I discovered electronica in my teens and thought it sounded good (way better than indie anyway). That's about it. |

americans trying to be continental? trolls, idm megastars (often both combined), bored old fans and a few new fans who tend to leave (i get it). Whacky idiot deep thinkers have dropped but they always come back. 8 people for 50 accounts...etc |

is there a reason you opted for past tense? about me: i discovered aphex twin a few months before drukqs, then drukqs came out, i figure i probably developed some unrealistic expectations at that point. i've probably been using the internet longer than some people here have been alive. i caught the tail end of BBS culture; didn't know what the fuck rave was until later. |

Living in Chicago in the 80's and 90's, there were some great record shop owners that had a great ear. They always knew what new artists to recommend. I was not a fan of rave. |

Missed the first wave rave era by 10 or 15 years, though there's a decent and somewhat similar scene about at the moment where I'm from. Not whistly neon techno rave revival, but more of a sweaty, heavy dub influenced scene with some similar sentiments. Grew up on a diet of Massive Attack and Radiohead, got into Aphex at 15 through drukQs, ain't looked back since. Found this site a few years ago when searching in the hopes that RDJ's shiz was affecting other folk as much as it was me. Was pleased to find out it was, and amused to see the calibre of people it seemed to be affecting, so felt happy to stick around for a bit. Inevitably grew on me very fast |

i was a sport, gifted with the wits and the looks, until i discovered idm, which led into the demise of my health & social life. luckily i found this forum of fellow anonymous aphexoholics. they helped me a great deal to overcome my addiction and keep celebrating timely relapses on annual revivals and other occasions. |

What EpicMegatrax said, plus I'll go for some computer geek who likes the sounds of non standard time signatures. |

yeah, i was a raver - white gloves, whistle, curtains, mask with an E on it, the lot...used to go to dreamscape, fantazia, helter skelter, obsession etc. used to hate aphex when i was proper into the rave scene. thought it was shit for dancing - couldn't find the groove in it (i had only really heard girl/boy and SAW 2 at this point). then had an epiphany whilst listening to analogue bubblebath 3 in 1997 and suddenly really liked the whole braindance thing and bought loads of aphex, squarepusher, plaid, and various other rephlex and warp stuff from selectadisc in nottingham. been into it ever since really. |

In high school I was listening to shitty nu metal, then suddenly discovered weed, psychedelics, and aphex pretty much in the same week. Life hasn't been the same since. |
