>No one said "ravers" either, it was always "party kids" instead, at least among the younger end of the crowd.

Over in Japan the term was party people which slurred into pary people and finally paripi which is the term today.

Just some interesting culture from the other side of the pond.

That's especially interesting since Joi Ito is often credited with introducing the scene to Japan, and prior to that he was very involved in the US scene in Chicago. I wonder if he brought the terminology over too!
