Rave, Raving, rave dance, and rave party are parties that originated mostly because of acid house parties, which featured electronic music and light/laser shows. At these parties people dance and socialize to dance music played by disc jockeys (colloquially called DJ's) and occasionally live performer professionals. The genres of electronic dance music played include house, trance, psytrance, techno, chiptunes, dubstep, jungle, drum and bass, jumpstyle, gabber, hardcore, UK hardcore, hardcore techno, happy hardcore, breakbeat, hardstyle and most other electronic music genres with the accompaniment of laser light shows, projected images, paint, glow sticks and smoke machines.
Famous quotes containing the word rave:
“they alive, I dead beneath
That board—you’d rave and rend them with your teeth.”

Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”
