A social networking site where those with very little education and a history of drug use define themselves by their taste in electronic music, much

Instead of using purerave to find
friends, like one might do on
facebook or myspace, users are primarily concerned with gossiping about other users that they typically haven't seen for a long period of time. (It can go from months to years.) This gossip is used to create drama.
The drama created through gossip on purerave functions as a major component of a typical user's day, as they very rarely have jobs or attend
school.
"OMG, you have to purerave this bitch! You might not have access to her journal anymore, but
today, .!KandiGurl!. wrote an entry about how you and Matt have been sleeping together behind her back and it serves you
right because he has herpes. I'll copy and paste it to you if you
don't have access."
