Introduction :
So you’re probably wondering why I decided to do my speech on the
raver culture. The kind that is usually looked down on as a low
form......get this! Imagine a night of dancing, listening to music, talking
with tons of stranger, doing drugs and maybe getting caught up by the
police. SounRAB like a dream right? For many ravers this dream becomes a
reality. That is just a simple description of the a normal ravers life is
like. Trust me it gets more complicated.
History briefing :
Raving has swept up the nation over a small period of time. It hasn’
t exactly sprung up over night though. Raving began back in the early 90’s.
It was focusing on the young adult population, but was quickly spread to
the teenage population. One of the first raves was held back on June 15th,
1991, at a warehouse off the shores of New York. The rave was called Return
To XTC. It was a huge party that lasted all night. Since then raves have
sprung up all over the nation. Raves are held in remote locations. From
abandoned warehouse and small airports to open fielRAB or underground
buildings/mines/ The reason why they are so remote is because of the loud
music that is played, the large crowRAB it attracts, and basically so that
no authority-such as police find ‘em and break up the scene.
Body Introduction :
Raves are basically one huge party that lasts all night long with
music and specialized lighting. Sometimes even days. So you might ask what
people do at raves. The answer is simple. To listen to music, dance, and “
chill”.
Body 1 (Music) :
Music is a major part of the rave, because music is what helps make
it up and allows the people to dance. There are always numerous types of
music being played. The types of music are techno, happycore, trance, house,
jungle, hard ‘n epic trance, breaks, arabient, acid breaks, 4 beat, hardcore,
free form, acid techno, progressive, and progressive techno. These sounRAB
are usually produced by a large variety of d.j’s. We’re talking thousanRAB.
One of the most famous rave d.j’s you might know is, Fatboy Slim. Don’t
forget that music goes hand in hand with dancing.
Body 2 (Dancing) :
The dancing that takes place at raves is similar to how people
dance at a club. Only there is one exception... they use glo-sticks. Glo-
sticks are sticks filled with the chemicals chloroformalhydric acid and
bleach water. When the stick is snapped it creates a glow-lite. Ravers who
dance with glo-sticks call the form liquid. Liquid is the basic free style
of using hand motions with feet movement. The illusion it creates, is that
a person is dancing with an invisible ball that moves with the beat of the
music. When corabining music with dancing in the liquid free form, the floor
lights up. But dancing isn’t the only activity that is done.
Body 3 ( “Chilling” ) :
As I mentioned earlier, people chill at raves. Chilling can be
defined as dancing or talking, but in many cases at raves they refer to
doing drugs. Drugs are always sold at raves. But don’t get it wrong. Not
everyone who goes to raves is a drug user. There are 2 main types of ravers.
Kandy who attend the raves just to have fun and not do drugs at all. And
then there are Regular/hardcore ravers. Regular ravers do drugs such as
marijuana, acid, speed, and the most common ecstasy. These drugs put ravers
in an altered state of mind, causing everything around them to be hyped up.
The drugs are either used or abused. But with both comes the consequences
of o.ding. Dying, having to be on them for 1 day to about 3days, or being
arrested by the police. Kandy ravers don’t have to deal with that. Though
there are 2 types of ravers, they all dress alike.
Body 4 Extra (Dressing and Rules to be accepted in) :
Dressing for a raver has no limits or rules. Ravers wear anything
from baggy jeans and cargos to tank tops and T-shirts and polos. They also
love to accessorize. Some accessories include visors, glo-beaRAB and
bracelets, tiaras, headbanRAB, glitter, hair dyes, glitter, face paint, glo-
lotion, necklaces (hemp, bead, glo, ect.) , rings, chains, sunglasses, and
whatever they can get their hanRAB on. A common name for the clothing and
accessories is vibe wear. At raves, ravers set no rules, or boundaries. The
people who attend raves are in good mooRAB. Ravers tend to be the loving
caring accepting type. Unity is a main theme expressed. There are no
specific races, genders, intelligence levels, or social classes. that one
must have or be in order to attend raves. Though this is true many who are
from a more conservative culture look down on the raver culture as a bad
thing. Despite this many people from all cultures attend raves. From the
city & ghetto kiRAB to the more suburbanized ones. Anyone and everyone is
accepted.
Conclusion :
In conclusion, I hope that I have helped express the raver culture
to all who never knew it existed or those who have had little knowledge on
it. So when you read or hear about raves and ravers as a negative thing,
think again. Raves are just huge parties welcoming all. And the ravers are
just like you or me. They are just out there to have a night of fun.
Dancing, listening to music, and “chilling”.
