the word "rave"

Why is it suddenly in vogue again?

Remember how no-one was saying it for awhile there? You weren't going to a rave, you were going to a party. Then there came the differentiations...a "party" was a rave, and other parties had to be specified as "house parties". There were discussions on lounge x about how nothing that goes on around here could even be classified as a rave anymore, etc. And now it's back to "rave this, rave that, rave rave rave!"

And since when is it a fucking verb? "I'm going raving"?! What the hell is that? "Raved my ass off"?! Yikes, that gets on my nerves.

Fucking wierd I tell ya. What is causing the resurrection, nostalgia?

Maybe its just me. *shrugs*

:rave: <-----------fucking ravers.

...and on the third day he rose again, to proclaim real u-ground events to be known as quips...and all were merry and did feast and bealch and spin in circles till they got dizzy and proceeded to fall on the floor only to have one rise from the bewildered vestige, to again proclaim another name.

QUIPS!

i think people were just in denial for a while, didn't want to think of themselves as ravers

but now that raving is so totally un-hip, you can be a raver and still have underground cred

i love the word rave

when i get excited i say "rave" it is like my personal mantra....

at the height of orgasm i have to bite my tongue to curb the desire to scream "rave" from the mountain tops

"rave on" is another personal favourite saying...

rave chips rule too

isn't rave technically a verb?

u rave about something...

the word was appropriated as a noun only recently by ravers who claimed it as their own...to subvert the hierarchy of the english language

Rave was a verb long before it was a noun.

Even in the rave scene.

the word Rave should always be capitalised. it is a name not an object, dubbed to our parties to demote and give typecast any all night event. just as Ravers has become some joke amounst us who know, but ammo to who don't. sensless slander to break down what people do not understand. so capitalise that R in Rave next time your typing it out.

Always have to make it clear how Right I Am, though, don't I?

Anyways. Point is that the rave scene used "raving" a lot longer than it has called these things "raves". They in fact called them raves because people raved at them all the time... I think the expressing in a frenzied matter is probably the best descriptor. And as a result, because everybody would be raving at these parties, they'd just personify them into one gigantic Rave.

I never really got into the calling myself a partykid or anything like that. If anybody asked me I called myself a raver. Still do from time to time.

My contention is that a raver is one who raves, not one who goes to raves.

But of course, oh righteous one. Could we expect any less?

Its the word Rave to me, I think of a party the same as a rave. Its pretty much the same ppl that I know at a party that I see at raves, so therefore the word I use is RAVE!
