ORIGINAL: crouchingtigress gosh i guess you are right about the rich internet 30 somethings having all the credit for the scene explosion, but i was sorta hoping it was a collctive social sexaul maturity, evolving equivalency consciousness, and a renaissance of the adventurous human spirit... There's some of that. Society at large becoming more open to alt cultures, the increased need for risk behavior (same time as coke hitting the scene, X sports), and there's ALWAYS a contingent of society yearning to break out of traditional boundaries. But what really made things into the scene as we know it today- with organized conventions, contests, munches, politics, and all the other cub-culture crossovers was IMO the rich/educated/not fitting into mainstream techies of the 70s/80s.
