Raver
Raves Imagine you are in your at about 1:00 in the morning. It?fs pitch black outside and you?fve been lost for hours. Nothings good on the radio. Your dying of thirst and your drenched with sweat. Your just about to turn around, when you open your windows for some fresh air and you hear it. The bass is in sync with your heartbeat. It is the vibe that is so commonly talked about within this culture. You follow this music and you?fve arrived at your destination: A rave. Raves consist of about 300-6,000 kids aged to about 17-25. A big empty wear house, a fog machine and a DJ. Every single rave has 1 type of music: techno with a ton of base. It tends to be electronically created with a very fast-paced.

A lot of times there will be a cartoon character on it, or smiley faces and aliens. Now, I could do a whole paper on fashion.
