Rave Stereotypes

Decent Essays
When most people think of the word “Rave” they think of loud music, flashy lights, bass, and drugs.

Rave culture is widely shamed and looked down upon. Are raves as bad as they once were? Are all the rave stereotypes out of date? What I know is that raves can range from 4 to 12+ hours and include music from progressive house to dubstep. Ravers, people who go to raves, are not the stereotypical druggies that society has labeled them. People from any religion, race, background, stereotype in high school can come to this concert and feel like they belong. Ravers are doctors curing
