An all night dance party that attracts people from many different walks of life. Many these days have become commercialized, however there are small areas which still carry the original spirit and vibe of these parties. A rave can be held in someone's house, outdoors, a small community hall, a large venue such as an arena or a number other places. Where there are a few people, sound equiptment and a couple DJs, it can be considered a rave.

"In St. Louis the real rave parties were thrown by La Surreal Discotheque (LSD) not these posers of today known as The Boogie Knights"
