"It is a party, a gathering, a sensory event; the rave scene is one of the newest and increasingly popular music cultures for young adults around the world. A "rave," in the vernacular, "refers to a party, usually all night long, open to the general public, where various types of techno genres are played. Another part of the "concept of raves is built upon sensory overload - a barrage of audio and very often visual stimuli" is used to heighten people into altered states of mind and body. It has no particular origin - rave culture can be traced back as far as you want to trace it. It pulls energy from many different directions" (Hilker, 1994)
