That article is very ridiculous, not funny, more if it's coming from a magazine writer/ignorant about psy-scene.

Yes. That's the point. The guy had never been to a psy-party before. Like it or not, this article shows how the osy-scene looks to many people.

It was great read. True to a large extent!

if you guys real it all the way through, you'll realize that the writer does have a lot of respect for the scene.
:
" As easy as it is to mock the trustafarians and eurotrash hostel-hoppers that frequent its events calendar, psytrance really is a counter-culture in the truest sense. The music is harsh, the clothes are weird, the drugs are strong, the best parties are illegal. This isn't a scene you can enter half-heartedly; nobody is having their birthday drinks at places like this – it's too intense, too esoteric for the casual partygoer. If there's an entry level version, this party was probably it and it was still one of the most confusing and unusual parties I've ever been to.
Psytrance deserves its place in our cultural landscape because it remains one of the few subcultures that trendy Stoke Newington dads just won't get. They might get Kendrick Lamar or Jam City, but they won't ever "get" Psycle Lane. It must have its lineage, but I'm fucked if I know what it is and it does feel like a weird animal that just showed up one day without anyone knowing where it came from – a totally different club beast that even people with superclub loyalty cards probably can't hack."

That's what I got out of the article too. I thought it was pretty cool cos of that. People here are quick to get all defensive.

Hehehe funny article! Some of us take the scene too seriously. If you step back & observe from the perspective of someone new to the scene then his observations were pretty spot on! I don't think it was insulting, he was just having a laugh!

BRILLIANT article. I can't believe some people are getting all uppity about it. Vice are well-known for their mocking tone of writing. Besides, as others have pointed out, this writer actually gives the scene quite a bit of respect.
I don't find it insulting one bit, either.  |
