yeah i know what you mean. tough the MoH festivals are notorious for their very own epic reasons, they will never be what Thunderdome was.
but that's also kinda good. i mean, if everybody was just going to imitate the dome, there wouldn't be as much of the festivals as there where now.
and eventough it sucks sometimes, styles change. and Thunderdome was really set around the rave/early scene, wich doesn't have such a big following anymore nowadays.
i find the scenes of today quite fascinating, really. with hardstyle becoming more and more commercial out here in the netherlands. and hardcore is more popular then ever!
even the most basic tecno raves have a hardstyle closing act nowadays. hell, i went to a underground drumm and bass party in club Simplon and the played some hardstyle!
to me, it's like it's never been bigger the now.
i always loved The Prodigy! they where the inspiration to many of the big early dj's out there now.
