Rave - more or less a 90s version of the 70's
Disco, maybe "Disco on
ecstasy" would come the closest.
Different drugs, different music - apart from that, most things are very much the same : /p>
- drinks are usually overpriced or watered-down
- music at ear-splitting volumes is played non-stop
- participants over 25 years of age are considered to be geriatric wannabes
- the DJ sets the mood of the event by careful selection of short-lived music
- due to lack of vocal communication, it's easy to pick up stupid dates
- clothing should be extravagant or very sloppy
The phenomenon is not limited to disco and rave - other generations had similar events - all self-limiting to younger people, all frowned upon by parents and all an important part of the "youth culture" in their respective times.
Note: Whenever participants reach an age of 30+, radio stations start playing the songs in their "golden oldies" section.
