I can sympathize to a degree...but you have to agree that lame people come in every flavour, not just "raver".
I attend lots of parties (I don't call them raves because "raves" imply that there's 14-year-olds running around high on crystal meth and listening to jungle music) and the crowd is getting older. My friends range from 18-48...all of which I've met in the past 4 years or so.
All those things that you mentioned *do* happen...I see it a lot, but that doesn't mean that that's all there is to "raving". I would much rather be at a party with people high on E/LSD/what-have-you, than be around a bunch of drunk people who have the personality of a wet dishcloth.
Although a lot of people in "the scene" are like you said, self-righteous pseudo-hippie wannabes, those people are easier for me to handle than boring, bible-thumping, "I drink coffee, alcohol, and smoke cigarettes, but I don't do drugs" type of people.
I take the good with the bad, which is in every scene/sub-scene...I've gotten a lot from my experiences, and still do! I'll stop going when I stop learning. :)
