A rave party is a dance party that features fast-paced, repetitive electronic music and accompanying light shows. Raves are often organized in warehouses, clubs, or other public or private venues. They are typically characterized by a youth-oriented subculture that blends music, art, and social ideals such as peace, love, unity, respect, tolerance, and happiness. Rave culture also entails the use of a range of licit and illicit drugs, which are intended to enhance ravers sensations and boost their energy so they can dance for long periods. Raves may last for a long time, with some events continuing for twenty-four hours and lasting all through the night. The music at a rave is typically repetitive and upbeat, making it easy to dance to. Rave music is electronic dance music (EDM) characterized by a fast tempo and often includes house, techno, and trance elements. Raves are often accompanied by laser light shows, projected images, visual effects, and fog machines to create an immersive and stimulating environment. Some raves may also include go-go and fire dancers to add to the visual stimulation. Raves have become increasingly popular over the years, especially among young people, and have evolved into different forms, with variations in music styles, settings, drugs used, and ravers ages.
