Your bro at the local club call you a raver, as does the neon nightmare you picked up Old town last weekend and are now dating.Sorry to crush your dreams, but clearing the central market store of glow sticks and eating a bunch of shitty molly doesn't make you a raver.Raving is pretty sweet, though.The term originated in 1950s to describe bohemian parties that the Soho beatniks threw. Its been used by mods,David Bowie. Finally, electronic music hijacked "rave" as a name for huge underground acid electronic events that drew thousands of people and spawned an entire subculture. "Raving" is entirely centralized around underground dance music. Not Skrillex. Not Steve Aoki. Not anything you would hear on top 40 radio.People get high.People get drunk.Sometimes people get high and drunk and then wind up taking a piss at your tent or losing their pants.Do not turn this party into an amateur hour.Getting so messed up that something awful happens is not cool or attractive or fun."wontabe ravers" take note: too many drugs can kill you.Nobody wants to see your naked, sweaty torso. Nobody wants to rub up against it, either. Please spare us the torment of coming into contact with your soggy chest hair.This one's easy. If you see me, don't hit on me.Don't grind up against me, don't put your groin area directly on me or really anywhere near me. This may come as a surprise, but I am not at this party to get laid or take drugs; I am here because I really dig techno and dancing with my eyes closed, and it is kind of hard to do that while you are screaming some nonsense into my ear and trying to touch me. If a girl wants you to hit on her, she will probably hit on you first. Social cues are a real thing.I feel like this one should be pretty obvious, but apparently some people need a little help with the concept. You guys, it is really frustrating and distracting when people stand motionless in the middle of the dance floor and engage in conversation. You're kind of in the way. You're yelling at one another because the music is so loud, so everyone else can hear you screaming your heads off instead of the cool house track that we're trying to dance to. As for the hula hoop thing... just please, do it somewhere else.
