| Raving refers to attending an unauthorised all-night dance party (a rave), featuring electronic music and consumption of psychedelic drugs. Rave is a shortened version of ‘rave-up’, a term for a wild party.
The practice of raving emerged during the conservative governments of Margaret Thatcher in the UK and Ronald Reagan in the USA in the 1980s (Anderson and Kavanaugh 2007: 501). Since then, the idea of gathering free from restrictions has spread internationally. Rave parties take place in urban and rural settings, typically in abandoned warehouses or open fields and forests (Vice staff 2016). Locations of raves are kept in secret, as the venues are unlicensed and their organisation is highly informal. In the 1990s, raves were made illegal in the UK, and the organisation of such events, as well as participation in them, may result in criminal charges (HM Government 1994). |
