A "rave" is a large dance party featuring DJ performances and occasionally live performers playing electronic music, especially electronic dance music (EDM). These events often take place in unique locations, such as warehouses, outdoor fields, or nightclubs, and are known for their vibrant atmosphere, colorful lights, and visual effects. Raves typically attract a diverse crowd of people who enjoy dancing and socializing. The culture surrounding raves often emphasizes self-expression, creativity, and community. Attendees may wear distinctive clothing, such as bright colors and accessories, and sometimes use glow sticks or other light-up items to enhance the experience.
