1) I made some poy for tonight's party; I hope I can get it right!

plur

n. The lifestyle concept of Peace, Love, Unity, and Respect. Originated in a speech by NYC DJ Frankie Bones early in the history of raves, it's undefined dogma of comraderie for all humanity has been adopted by many ravers as an attempted lifestyle.

We as a community need to observe PLUR in our everyday lives; the reason we love the people around us is because we all love the music, and so we should try to reach beyond that and embrace our fellow man.

PLURR

n. the rave concept of Peace, Love, Unity, Respect, & Responsibility, principles by which most candy ravers attempt to live their lives in and out of raves. Adapted from the original PLUR to include responsibility in response to the abuse of drugs, people, and venues within the rave community, in the hope that the community will recieve a more positive reputation from its members and critics.

PLURR is a way of life for me.

terrorcore

n. a style of electronic music descended from happy hardcore featuring faster, 160+ bpms with darker synth melodies and bass lines, intended to be an antithesis to the uplifting ambience of happy hardcore

Man, I'm afraid to even get near the terrorcore room. That music just makes me feel like someone's gonna eat my arm.

junglist

an attendant at a rave typically characterized as a fan of drum n' bass, hard techno, and jungle. Also characterized by a seemingly distant, confrontational attitude and dark clothing. An antithesis of this type of raver would be the candy raver.

Hey, that junglist dude over there has been giving me dirty looks all night.
