The Internet allowed rave participants to discuss issues related to the rave scene including ideals, music, culture, drugs, fashion and more.
In any case, the whole point of a rave is to be innovative, free, open andcountercultural. With alcohol and an over-21 age restriction, how can ya be like that? All the over 21 pseudoraves I've ever been to have been a bunch of confused adults with a few people who were cool in their low or mid 20s and a bunch of kids with fake IDs having a good time.

The Internet allowed rave participants to connect online after meeting In Real Life(IRL) or to establish initial connections
My friend and I were in Portland this past weekend and met a kid named Jay. Karma fell for him and lost his number and is way bummed out. He said he use to rave in Seattle all the time....he was 5'7" I'd say.....thin....beautiful brown skin.......short dark hair.....bio-hazard tattoo on his head.....super nice.....professional paint baller.........any of you guys know this guy by far out coincidence? Worth a shot..... ;)
Looking for Jay?
looking for Rick M. of Portland, Oregon
The use of the Internet in connection with rave allowed rave to spread and reach people who otherwise might not have been able to learn about rave via word of mouth alone. It allowed for connections between participants of the rave culture that might have only lasted for the duration of one rave. It allowed for past rave acquaintances to reconnect.

The internet was my portal to the rave scene in North Carolina. It allowed me to find the scene and network into it.
I am originally from Raleigh, North Carolina. I graduated from high school in 1998. I went to junior college in Vermont. We use to go to Montreal because the drinking age is 18. By chance I discovered an underground rave club in Montreal and became hooked.
With a group of friends at my school I began to travel to parties in New Hampshire, New York city and across the north east.
I didn't know how to get hooked into the scene in North Carolina however. And when I was home on breaks and for summers none of my old high school friends were into the rave scene.
I found CarolinaRaves.com however on the internet when I was in Vermont. The site was an online gathering place for party kids (ravers rarely ever used the word "rave", we went to "parties" and called ourselves "party kids") across North and South Carolina.
While I was in Vermont I became active on the Carolina Raves listserve and kept tabs on the scene back home, even though I had never been involved in it in person.
For New Years Eve 1999 I really wanted to go to a big party in but I was going to be home for winter break. I posted as such on the list serve and got a response from a guy in the Charlotte area who invited me to buy his extra ticket and travel down with he and his friends to Atlanta for a massive NYE event.
It was a crazy party, and not the last i went to with him. we are friends to this day.
In 2002 when I was back in the area full time it was a breeze to jump into the scene because of my knowledge of the online resources such as carolinaraves.com.
Carolina Raves is actually still around. Now it is called Carolina Spins though. www.carolinaspins.com
PLUR ;)
wow i just realized that my post sounds like a shameless plug for carolina spins... well in all honesty one cannont overstate how crucial that site was for the late nineties rave scene in North Carolina.
late 90's into the 21sth century that is...
