Raves
PLUR is a raver’s motto. It stands for peace, love, unity, and respect. First of all, a rave is a social event, “a phenomenon of modern youth culture” (Brown & Behlandorf 4). In most cases, a rave is a dance party in which the ravers experience a sense of community and elevated consciousness through the listening to music, dancing, a positive mood, and the presence of many different kinds of people (4). Ravers are usually known as happy people that are always looking for a good time, although some say that today’s raves and ravers are all about the negative part of these all night dance parties, which they are not. Ravers will usually describe themselves as “hippies of the nineties” (Laughinghouse & Owen 2). Ravers are all accepting, not discriminating, and they use rave as alternative fun without the use of drugs. Raves today take place in warehouses, open fields, dance clubs, or other exotic locations. Skilled disk jockeys, colorful lights, and lasers/strobes are items that are looked for in a rave. Raves usually last from all hours of the night until sunrise (Brown & Behlendorf 2). At these raves there is the selling of non-alcoholic drinks called smart drinks, t-shirts, and DJ’s mixed tapes.
