1. A primitive and non-descript word used to connotate the blossoming mass interest in the undeground scene of electronic music, drugs, and parties. The word came to full-flower in the late 1990's, but took a turn for the worst in the early 2000's. By then, a wave of drug overdoses, emergencies, and public fear cast the word into mainstream television use as more and more reporters, entirely disconnected with the culture, beat it to death in the daily news. This ignorance was greatly exemplified by adding a hypen and the word "party" to "rave", which was totally unnecessary, but kept the aging, elderly people who vote good and scared, until they had almost completely eliminated any event that ran over a single day.
2. Directly after the word "rave" was thrown on the trash heap of words that cool people no longer said, it remained unused for a period of several years. A re-surfacing of the word eventually took place, with it now being used as a symbolic word, tinged with sarcasm, to mean, roughly, "beat," or "beaten to death." The new use is characterized by a completely lack of enthusiasm.

Raves are also known as Radical Audio Video Experiences due to the varied lighting effects as well as projected visualizers that go to the music.
In order to keep the fact that you frequent the rave scene every night you casually refer to them as radical audio visual experiences to coworkers. Their interest piqued they eventually join you and become addicted to E.

The greatest party ever, though comes with consequences, bringing in many substance abuse deaths primarily exdussy and Roofies, but still fun as hell.

To put it simply, an easy way to get fucked more in one night than you ever would in you life if you didn't go, and the eaeiest way to get the drug huck ups.
It's much more fun being fucked by 20 wemon when your high than it is be fucked by one girl when your clean!

Basically , a crazy house party . Invite all your friends , and have them invite their friends , and their friends , too . Its not a good rave unless you dont know half of the people there . These things should be huge . Sometimes , people may "rave - hop" which is going to and from multiple raves a night .
Anna : I want to have a rave , but i don't have enough friends :(
Bobby : I'll bring all my friends !
Anna : Alright dude , this is gonna be crazy !
Bobby : I'll bring all my friends !
Anna : Alright dude , this is gonna be crazy !
