A rave is the current trend in dances for young adults. Its heavily into remixes, electronica tunes and techno styles. Lighting plays a heavy role at one as the dance floor/room is rather dark with lots of glowing lights, strobes, flashes, etc. Its fun if you enjoy that sort of stuff. For me, its just too much out of my genre of musical tastes. I'll show up to one in fursuit and stay for about a half hour or so, but ultimately I need to leave as I'm just too darn tired at that time of night the raves usually held at (read=I'm old).
