Definition of rave

raveverb

phát ra

/reɪv//reɪv/

The term "rave" initially emerged in the UK during the late 1980s as a slang term to describe a "wild party." It was inspired by the old-fashioned use of the word as a verb, meaning "to rejoice" or "to be happy." At these early raves, which often took place in abandoned buildings or warehouses, DJs played a mix of various genres, such as hip-hop, funk, and soul, using two turntables and a mixer to manipulate the music. The partygoers would dance all night to this high-energy music, driven by an eclectic mix of light shows, strobe lights, and other visual effects. However, the term "rave" took on a new meaning as the Acid house and rave culture exploded onto the scene. The music at these events shifted towards faster-paced genres like house, techno, and trance, creating an atmosphere of intense dancefloor energy. The drug ecstasy, or MDMA, was also frequently associated with raving, contributing to its reputation as a wild and hedonistic experience. Today, the term "rave" continues to evolve, with new sub-genres and styles emerging, such as drum and bass, jungle, and hardcore, but the longstanding association with hedonistic, high-energy dance culture remains intact.
