Ask a Teen Raver: Do You Have a Boyfriend?

Kerah Rose is a 19-year-old college student from Riverside and EDM aficionado. Ask a Teen Raver appears on Tuesdays in West Coast Sound. Send your questions to teenraver@laweekly.com.

Dear Teen Raver: I'm looking to branch out beyond the typical pair of butterfly wings. Also, I'm a dude. What would you suggest? -Fashion Plate

Dear Fashion Plate: Well a lot of guys at events that I have seen usually dress casual but some other guys go all out! If you're trying to go all out, I would suggest staying in your comfort zone. So if that includes a Speedo or booty shorts, then throw them on & add a little glitter to your skin. ;) If not keep it classy with a casual outfit!

Dear Teen Raver: What you think about the Hollywood "riot"? What's your opinion about media/public perception based on that incident? -Julian Haro

Dear Julian: I think the Hollywood riot was not a good look on the EDM scene. People were going nuts and not acting responsible. Vandalizing police cars? Not a good look people.

The media had a very negative affect on this riot in Hollywood when Kaskade was doing his free show. The premier for the EDC movie ... uhh doesn't the media already have negative thoughts on EDC? And then this riot breaks out. Honestly, the media has a right to have this negative perception on the riot. I know everyone was upset that Kaskade canceled but that doesn't give anyone a right to vandalize anything.

Everyone including myself hopes EDC will come back to its home, L.A., but I hope just because the media has a negative perspective on events that EDC will come back anyway.

Dear Teen Raver: Why do some people hate on younger kids that go to raves or festivals (15, 16, etc.)? What if they just want to go and enjoy the music and the surroundings as well (drug-free, of course)? -Tyler Schobert

Dear Tyler: In my opinion, some people who hate on the younger rave generation is because of the kids' irresponsibility. A lot of kids are not responsible. A 15-year-old girl died at EDC L.A. in 2010. That just shows the responsibility part when it comes to kids.

get the fuck out of here.

I am a former female raver. and honestly the rave scene is fucking dead because of people like you. for one you are a TEEN RAVER. how old are you ? 17 18 or 19? or younger even? Im sorry but you were not around for real raves. You are around for the " New Rave" crap. The scene is dead. you are making yourself look like a fucking fool. You look like trash. I mean you really think its CUTE? well fuck no its not. its classless and whether you want to admit it or not its for attention. and you get it dont you? the boys all want to talk to you huh? well why do you think that?? because your awesome? FUCK NO its because your tittys are hanging out and any straight man is gonna want to talk to you. Raves are no longer about having a good time with friends and listening to some music. P.L.U.R is dead. The scene is dead. the music is dead.

To wash out the taste of this embarrassing feature, I'll post a link to a piece of genuine, groundbreaking journalism or criticism from Voice Media/Village Voice's past in the comments of each column.

I don't know LA Weekly will feel about this as it doesn't exactly put their current focus in a flattering light; on the other hand, these wonderful works from deep in the bowels of Voice Media's lineage will be the closest thing to substantive, thought-provoking discourse to be found on this column's page when it runs, so maybe they'll understand!

This week - Andrew Sarris explores what makes the primordial fright in Rosemary's Baby so effective:

Please go away. You have to be the worst thing to happen to our scene since Skrillex. You're making us all look like idiots. Just please, find something else to do with your time. -_-
