Do you wear furry boots and G-strings to raves? Well, HARD Events founder and DJ (you may know him as Destructo) Gary Richards may have a bone to pick:
‘Rave’ has a different meaning in Europe—a raver in Europe is not a 15-year-old girl flying out of her head wearing a G-string and furry boots. A raver over there is an average person who wants to go out and have a good night, listen to cool music, and dance or whatever.
You know, I never really use that word. I felt like when I decided to start HARD, that whenever I’d go to these clubs in America, I thought that people looked silly . . .
I think it took a minute for people to catch on, but I think it worked: People get it now, that you don’t have to dress like that to go and like this music. I’m not mad or anything at those people, but I just feel like it just gives the wrong message.
