“…Although not limited to nightlife scenes (Horyniak et al, 2013), ecstasy is popular at dance parties, as it tends to enhance the party experience (e.g., perceptions of lights and music, nightlife socialization) (Lyttle & Montagne, 1992; Parks & Kennedy, 2004). While ecstasy use in the United States (US) is not as prevalent as in the late 1990s and early 2000s, use has remained popular in recent years (Johnston, O’Malley, Bachman, & Schulenberg, 2013a, 2013b; Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration [SAMHSA], 2013a; Wu et al, 2010a).…”

Background Although ecstasy (MDMA) use is not as prevalent in the United States (US) as it was in the early 2000s, use remains popular among adolescents and young adults. Few recent studies have examined ecstasy use in national samples among those at particularly high risk for use—adolescents approaching adulthood. Research is needed to delineate sociodemographic correlates of use in this group. Methods Data were examined from a nationally representative sample of high school seniors in the US (modal age = 18) from the Monitoring the Future study (years 2007–2012; weighted N = 26,504). Data from all cohorts were aggregated and correlates of recent (last 12-month) use of ecstasy were examined. Results Roughly 4.4% of high school seniors reported use of ecstasy within the last year. Females and religious students were consistently at lower odds for use. Black and Hispanic students, and students residing with two parents, were at lower odds for ecstasy use, until controlling for other drug use. Odds of use were consistently increased for those residing in a city, students with weekly income of >$50 from a job, and students earning >$10 weekly from other sources. Lifetime use of alcohol, cigarettes, marijuana, and other illicit drugs each robustly increased odds of ecstasy use. Conclusion Subgroups of high school seniors, defined by specific sociodemographic factors, and those who have used other drugs, are currently at high risk for ecstasy initiation and use. Since ecstasy is regaining popularity in the US, prevention efforts should consider these factors.

“…En los 90 todavía no se conocían suficientemente algunos de los problemas ligados con el uso del MDMA, por lo que algunos profesionales, preocupados por el posible descrédito de la 'droga del amor' y de la cultura dance -en unos tiempos en los que se generaliza la preocupación por la transmisión sexual del VIH-, insistieron mucho en diferenciar entre sensualidad y sexualidad, en un intento de desvincular el éxtasis de la sexualidad. Para estas personas justamente la experiencia con el éxtasis lo que hacía era ir más allá de la necesidad física de sexo (Russel, 1991;Lyttle y Montagne, 1992;Henderson, 1993). Sin embargo, es destacable en este estudio como el éxtasis ha sido la sustancia menos valorada para ser utilizada en las relaciones sexuales.…”

RESUMENEntre los adolescentes el consumo de alcohol y otras drogas está frecuentemente vinculado al contexto recreativo nocturno, al igual que la búsqueda y experimentación en sexualidad. Cada una de las sustancias tiene efectos en el comportamiento, en la experiencia sexual y en las consecuencias. Aquí se explora cómo experimentan los adolescentes españoles la relación y el rol que ocupan las drogas en la experimentación de la sexualidad en estos contextos recreativos.Se ha utilizado metodología cualitativa para explorar la relación entre sexualidad y drogas en 100 jóvenes de ambos sexos de 4 ciudades españolas, que les gustase salir los fines de semana y con experiencia sexual. Se les localiza mediante el sistema de bola de nieve y se les hace entrevistas en profundidad. Los resultados confirman la importancia que adquiere el contexto recreativo nocturno en la búsqueda y experiencia sexual entre los jóvenes. Los jóvenes tienen una idea muy precisa de cómo cada una de ellas funciona en relación con distintas prácticas sexuales. El alcohol es con mucho la más popular y la que tiene más ventajas en las cuatro prácticas sexuales analizadas (facilitar el encuentro sexual, involucrarse en experiencias más arriesgadas, aumentar la excitación y prolongar la relación sexual), excepto para prolongar la relación que se prefiere la cocaína. El cannabis no gusta porque relaja y no hay interés en el éxtasis por sus efectos sobre la sexualidad. A las mujeres les gusta mucho el alcohol para experiencias arriesgadas, aumentar sensaciones y prolongar sexo y utilizarían menos cocaína. ABSTRACTMany people associate the use of alcohol and other drugs with sexuality. It is common to find that each drug is associated with a specific effect on sexuality. Weekend recreational nightlife settings are increasingly important places for the young, and frequented by them more and more in search of sex and drug-taking opportunities. In this research we are interested in the role the young attribute to recreational drugs with regard to their sexual practices. We interviewed a sample of 100 young people from four Spanish cities, using a questionnaire with both open and closed questions. Snowball sampling was used to find those who had had sexual experience, who had taken recreational drugs and who liked going to discos, bars, etc. at the weekend. We found that these young people have a very precise idea of how each drug functions within sexuality. Considering all four parameters analysed, alcohol is by far the most popular (to initiate the sexual encounter, for more unusual or the "hottest" experiences, to increase arousal, and to prolong sex), though in the last case in particular the preferred drug was cocaine. Cannabis does not interest them because of its relaxing effects, while ecstasy is chosen more for remaining active and enjoying oneself than for its sexual effects. Women use alcohol more than men (mainly to increase arousal, when they want unusual sex or to prolong sex) and use cocaine less.

“…Acid House yang ditambah dengan kehadiran ekstasi telah mengembalikan kelab malam ke fungsi asalnya iaitu sebagai tempat untuk menari (Bainbridge, 2014). Maka dengan itu, boleh dikatakan bahawa Acid House Movement, atau ringkasnya Acid House atau House, ialah satu arah aliran muzik dan tarian yang baharu (Lyttle & Montagne, 1992). Ia muncul seakan-akan untuk menggantikan budaya lain seperti punk dan era muzik gelombang baru (new wave) yang tidak terdiri daripada ketekalan muzik yang boleh mencetuskan tarian.…”

Rave sebenarnya ialah satu bentuk ekspresi sub-budaya. Walau bagaimanapun, tularnya video tarian rave dalam media sosial di Malaysia telah lebih memfokuskan ia kepada konteks budaya negatif dan hedonisme. Hal ini ditambah lagi dengan isu pergaduhan antara kelompok raver dan hipster. Yang berpunca daripada stratifikasi sosial. Pada asalnya, rave ialah tarian yang diiringi oleh muzik berentak rancak dan elektronik yang dimainkan oleh deejay. Kebanyakan acara tarian ini ada di konsert, parti dan kelab eksklusif. Namun, sesetengah kelompok raver di Kuala Lumpur boleh ditemui menari di kawasan membeli-belah seperti di KLCC (Kuala Lumpur City Centre) dan Pavilion. Situasi ini menunjukkan seakan-akan ada ekspresi yang cuba disampaikan oleh mereka dengan menari di tempat umum, lebih-lebih lagi apabila mereka tidak bersefahaman dengan kelompok hipster. Kajian ini membincangkan rave dari sudut sub-budaya, pemikiran dan aktiviti yang dilakukan oleh segolongan remaja raver di Kuala Lumpur. Ia bermatlamat untuk mengenal pasti ekspresi sosial, amalan-amalan dan penggunaan ruang oleh kelompok raver dan hipster. Teori dan konsep seperti sub-budaya, arus perdana, dan ruang awam turut dibincangkan. Kajian ini adalah berdasarkan data empirik daripada pengamatan langsung terhadap aktiviti yang dijalankan oleh golongan raver dan temu bual mendalam dengan beberapa anggota kelompok raver. Kajian ini mendapati rave ialah ekspresi sub-budaya sebagaimana rock, skinhead, punk dan goth yang menjadi pencetus kepada kepanikan moral di negara ini. Budaya rave di Malaysia yang dipaparkan oleh mereka dilihat telah disesuaikan mengikut keadaan sosial di negara ini. Kata kunci: Raver, hipster, sub-budaya, media sosial, Kuala Lumpur. Rave and Hipster: A Sub-Culture Expression of Youths in Kuala Lumpur ABSTRACTRave is a form of sub-cultural expression. Rave dance videos which have gone viral in Malaysian social media have been associated in the context of negative culture and hedonism. This is further supported with the issue of dispute between ravers and hipsters which is a result of social stratification. Originally, rave is a dance style of fast and electronic music played by a deejay, mostly at concerts, parties, and exclusive clubs. However, certain ravers in Kuala Lumpur can be found dancing at shopping malls such as KLCC (Kuala Lumpur City Centre) and Pavilion. It appears that the ravers demonstrate expression by dancing in public places, especially when they do not share the same values with the hipsters. This study discusses rave from the point of sub-culture, thoughts and activities carried out by a group of teenage ravers in Kuala Lumpur. It aims to identify the social expressions, practices, and use of space by ravers and hipsters. Theories and concepts such as subculture, mainstream, and public sphere are also discussed. This study is based on empirical data from direct observation on activities and in-depth interviews with several ravers. This study found rave as a sub-cultural expression similar to rock, skinhead, punk and goth that ...
