Allured by the pounding beats, flashing lights, and carefree atmosphere, young people stand in line for hours to get tickets.
Newspapers report the grim details of overdoses, rapes, and injuries that result from raves.
Raves have gotten a undeserved negative reputation, but at the same time are becoming more and more mainstream. The rave experience is both an enlightening and completely individual experience. Raves are about getting together with people who have the same love for music as yourself. The hypnotizing music brings out a side of the Self that many people find exhilerating and a way to free themselves. The genres are all different and have a different following of people.
