That a lot of the reason this seems to have "dried up" is that people do not necessarily take less pictures, but that they tend to get posted more in social media sites like Facebook where they can be kept more private. And then apparently from older posts at this forum it seems that part of the reason with regard to Borgentreich, at least, is heightened security due to photographers/filmers "freaking people out"...
And on the topic of venues "dying out" - No Covers is one that seems to have completely vanished, but I think Mainflingen is still going?
BTW soak_ed, I tried sending you and email, did you get it? |
In reply to Message (63115.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1) I don't think so
By Soak_ed - soak_ed@hotmail.com Thu 18/12/14 22:05:19 GMT I came to Germany at the peak of the foam'pool party craze in 1999. Those were the days. Legendary parties such as Rotweil, Freiburg, Alcatraz, Natrix/Catwalk/Xcess and many more. Each year I was there after the first couple of years it seemed there were fewer and fewer parties. I believe Rotweil was the first to stop, Freiburg lasted a little longer, the pool at Alcatraz had problems, etc. Borgentreich is the last of the great parties and I wonder when it will be gone. Maybe not for a while because the village is very small and they get a lot of money from that party so they will have it as long as people keep coming. I believe it is like any other fad, young people have limited attention spans, what was once cool lasts until the next great thing comes along. The pool/foam party thing went away because it was no longer the "in" thing. Remember, wetlook fans are not so large in number and as much as we wish these parties will continue, we can't support them ourselves, and these parties were never meant for our interest. That is my opinion. I am just glad I was there to enjoy it while it was good. |

By Phoenix_Mike - Thu 18/12/14 21:42:49 GMT During the phenomenon (most of it) cell phones did exist, but they were the regular much cheaper type and people weren't so attached to them and didn't take them everywhere. Now everyone takes a smartphone, worth a couple hundred euro and nobody wants to leave them at some check in counter before a party. Even in the fountains in the summer or at private parties you see the throw-in-gone-wrong wet phone problem from time to time. Maybe if more and more brands become truly waterproof pool parties will be able to come back without the possibility of such losses and people will like them again.. |

By plonss - Thu 18/12/14 21:23:42 GMT that's right :) I shouldn't have looked at the pictures
By the way: It seems that generally the phenomenon "pool party", particularly in Germany, where it was so popular, seems to be something of the past. I don't know why really |

By plonss - Thu 18/12/14 19:55:19 GMT I do not want to disturb your enthusiasm WetCAsual, but my conclusion after seeing the pictures is that the event "dried up". In last years nearly no wet look, and the few wet people seems to be men..... |

By Wamjeans - Thu 18/12/14 04:21:47 GMT Many years ago I remember so great videos and pics from This end of summer pool party in Germany where just about everyone got in the pool in jeans and jackets. What ever happened to the party and does anyone know if their are still videos around?
