Y'know, there's a funny thing about scene kids...something that contributes to making raving as a whole so wonderful. Obviously, like any personality trait it can't be applied to every scene kid you see walking down the street, and it's true 100% of the time, 24/7. Maybe it's just a trait that appears when two scene kids capable of it get together and meet, but when someone who doesn't understand how they are comes...well, it's not quite the same. I'm not sure if that even made sense, but in any case it made sense to me.
Let me explain.
When you meet certain scene kids, you can literally be friends in a matter of minutes, even seconds. If you send them the right vibes (meaning, you're not mean, don't act like an attention-hungry whore, etc.) and are just a straight-up real person, they're some of the most chill people you could ever meet. Most of them can be really accepting, and although occasionally falling on the judgmental side (don't we all), all-around hilariously fun friends - crazy, wild, and always up for a good time.
I feel like I'm not telling this properly, so I'll give a few examples.
EXAMPLE ONE.
My group of friends and I went to this kiosk in the mall, because some of them apparently knew the girl working there. She was a raver - scene kid, like all of us. I never even found out her name, but we got talking and literally within 2 minutes were acting like we were best friends. Totally comfortable with each other, laughing and joking around like we'd known each other forever.
EXAMPLE TWO.
We ran into this group of kids, and since some people we were with knew them starting hanging out with them. I got to talking to one of the girls, and we seriously did not STOP talking for the next maybe hour or two. Everyone was just having all these different conversations at once, a huge congregation of people who mostly had not known each other previously but within minutes were chatting like they were all old friends catching up. No awkwardness, no "pregnant pauses" - just a bunch of totally open kids becoming fast friends. By the end of it, I'd given my number out to quite a few people and got just as many numbers in return. This isn't the first time something like that's happened; we've already been keeping in touch.
EXAMPLE THREE.
This is more like...a general example, I guess. At raves.
How you meet someone: Go up to them out of nowhere, say "hey, I'm (insert name here)!" and give them a hug. Yes, it really is that simple. From there you can either go dance with them, talk with them, swap numbers, trade kandi...or even leave it at that hug. Friendships are often made within seconds, and if numbers are gotten, they usually last. It's just a great sort of person to be around, you know? It's a group of people that are just really fun to be around, as I said before a congregation of friends in the making.
I sorta suck at explaining this type of thing, so I hope that made even a little bit of sense. The thought just struck me and I felt the impulse to write about it.
I'm so happy to be able to get along with scene kids, though...people say I'm one of them. I suppose I consider myself to be, too. After all, it would be a tremendous compliment. At least, to me it would be, anyway.
What can I say? "Scene" is just the kind of person I guess I've always wanted to be.
