Worldwide Party People Manifesto (www.x5industries.com)
Our emotional state of choice is ecstasy. Our nourishment of choice is Love.
Our addiction of choice is technology. Our religion of choice is music. Our
currency of choice is knowledge. Our politics of choice is none. Our society
of choice is utopian though we know it will never be.
You may hate us. You may dismiss us. You may misunderstand us. You may be
unaware of our existence. We can only hope you do not care to judge us,
because we would never judge you. We are not criminals. We are not
disillusioned. We are not drug addicts. We are not naive children. We are
one massive, global, tribal village that transcends man-made law, physical
geography, and time itself. We are The Massive. One Massive.
We were first drawn by the sound. From far away, the thunderous, muffled,
echoing beat was comparable to a mother's heart soothing a child in her womb
of concrete, steel, and electrical wiring. We were drawn back into this
womb, and there, in the heat, dampness, and darkness of it, we came to
accept that we are all equal. Not only to the darkness, and to ourselves,
but to the very music slamming into us and passing through our souls: we are
all equal. And somewhere around 35Hz we could feel the hand of God at our
backs, pushing us forward, pushing us to push ourselves to strengthen our
minds, our bodies, and our spirits. Pushing us to turn to the person beside
us to join hands and uplift them by sharing the uncontrollable joy we felt
from creating this magical bubble that can, for one evening, protect us from
the horrors, atrocities, and pollution of the outside world. It is in that
very instant, with these initial realizations that each of us was truly
born.
We continue to pack our bodies into clubs, or warehouses, or buildings
you've abandoned and left for naught, and we bring life to them for one
night. Strong, throbbing, vibrant life in it's purest, most intense, most
hedonistic form. In these makeshift spaces, we seek to shed ourselves of the
burden of uncertainty for a future you have been unable to stabilize and
secure for us. We seek to relinquish our inhibitions, and free ourselves
from the shackles and restraints you've put on us for your own peace of
mind. We seek to re-write the programming that you have tried to
indoctrinate us with since the moment we were born. Programming that tells
us to hate, that tells us to judge, that tells us to stuff ourselves into
the nearest and most convenient pigeon hole possible. Programming that even
tells us to climb ladders for you, jump through hoops, and run through mazes
and on hamster wheels. Programming that tells us to eat from the shiny
silver spoon you are trying to feed us with, instead of nourish ourselves
with our own capable hands. Programming that tells us to close our minds,
instead of open them.
Until the sun rises to burn our eyes by revealing the distopian reality of a
world you've created for us, we dance fiercely with our brothers and sisters
in celebration of our life, of our culture, and of the values we believe in:
Peace, Love, Freedom, Tolerance, Unity, Harmony, Expression, Responsibility
and Respect.
Our enemy of choice is ignorance. Our weapon of choice is information. Our
crime of choice is breaking and challenging whatever laws you feel you need
to put in place to stop us from celebrating our existence. But know that
while you may shut down any given party, on any given night, in any given
city, in any given country or continent on this beautiful planet, you can
never shut down the entire party. You don't have access to that switch, no
matter what you may think. The music will never stop. The heartbeat will
never fade. The party will never end.
We are the Party, and this our manifesto.
