Rave is a word which was originally used by the British media in 1989 to describe the radical shift from dancing on disco dance floors too large, all night parties thrown in warehouses, country fields, and other such locations. Today, raves are known as night long parties where loud techno music is played. A common philosophy among ravers is PLUR - peace, love, unity, and respect.
