Partying in Pakistan

"A look at the underground youth scenes of Karachi, Pakistan."



Found this interesting. A VC2 producer gets a glimpse into the widespread effect of underground youth cultures popping up around the world. I especially liked the absolutely beautiful DJ Mad and her comments about the scene from her view. "It's only for kids who have been to raves, been to clubs, and have experienced the music and like it. It's not for the masses."

International attention is currently focused on the current state of Pakistan with unease. With negative media associations involving terrorism and conflict within the Muslim world, different perspectives on life and culture should be portrayed more often. Doing so will enable us make better informed decisions before acting upon attitudes and policy which can affect an entire nation of people. We may just realize we aren't so different from one another. P.E.A.C.E.
