Raves are sometimes called "rafes" by people in the scene who consider the concept of a traditional rave somewhat humorous. Calling a particular event a "rafe" instead of a "rave" is a slightly sarcastic way of saying, "This isn't one of those 'goofy' raves, it's more hardcore." Hardcore, of course, can refer to any number of niche elements of a rave that can be "more hardcore." (More glowsticking, more breakdancing, more HHC, more Jungle/DnB, more PLUR, more underground, etc.)

A rafe is basically a Rave, that has lost all of it's original meaning, purpose, and style. It is an event that is part of main-stream media and is attended by high schoolers, p-tots, and druggies. A rafe is also most likely sponsored and held in club-like venues, does not hold it's underground feel it should.

Really awesome person. A Rafed is a really great friend. Gets sad or thoughtful rather fast and often. Will be the life and soul of jokes, laughter, fun, and parties. A very smart and caring human. Probably a great and caring boyfriend. Also a very creative and imaginative person, and loves to draw. Absolutely loves cookies! Most likely to be friends with a Luis a Asya a Yuliya and a Simon
