Etymology

The term 'rave' originated in the 1960s and initially referred to a bohemian party or an extravagant event. It later evolved to describe the electronic music subculture in the late 1980s, where all-night dance parties featuring DJs became popular. Raves have since become synonymous with electronic music, energetic dancing, and a sense of communal celebration.
