Good comments :). About the whole “your a true raver” if you go for the music. I’ve gone sober to clubs and music festivals and the music has to be pretty spot on to stay for more than two hours and that’s pushing it. I’ve had the situation of rolling a couple of these times and I can tell you this is definitely how raves should be enjoyed. The two just go together. I mean there are probably times where ravers are trying to lay off drugs and still dress up which is cool. But for me, intoxication and raves are the way to go. I’m sure most of you know this already.

This article is helpful to those who are not ravers to find ways to dress at a rave, however I do not like the inclination that most ravers do drugs; in fact the majority of ravers that I know including myself are sober at parties as we prefer to be able to enjoy the music and the atmosphere with a clear mind.

Also, the largest brands found for rave clothing are UFO, Ghast or are home made.

Raves are too diverse to be summed up in one little article, my people… I am a raver and I do not do e, or any drug for that matter (including pot). Most of the raves I go to have people wearing anything from jerseys and jeans to full on fluffy kandi kid gear with kandi up to their shoulders and dread falls and little barely there UV reactive skirts and sports bras.

They are just about being yourself. Being unique. Being a part of the music. If that includes doing drugs and dressing up, doing drugs and not dressing up, dressing up and not doing drugs… WHATEVER! Who the crap cares? You’re at a RAVE! Peace Love Unity and Respect. <3 Learn it and quit pointing fingers and grouping everybody in one stereotype.

Truth is, rave is DEAD. We are now post-rave. Illicit warehouse parties with several thousand people? A thing of the past. Yeah, there’s still events, but not with the panache and tenacity of ten years ago. When I came up there was no ‘how to’ manual to go to a party… if you knew, you went, and if you went, you had fun. Simple as that.

i personally love raves, i take alot of e while im there so i dress to enhance my experience, alot of neon colors and flashing lights, and it does get reallly hot so i end up stripping down to a belly shirt and neon sports bra, everyone there is dressed differently but everyone is having fun no matter what they wear. P.L.U.R <3 <(^_^<)

Any article on raving isn’t going to be 100% accurate. Nor, apparently, will all the comments. I know to me, going to raves isn’t about the ex or the clothing. I like light shows no matter what state my mind is in, anyway. I’m just easily distracted. lol But I go to raves first to support the PLUR and second for the music. No one gives two craps about what I wear, or if I’m rolling or not. It’d be ignorant to say ex isn’t at the scene though.

Thank you for the artice, but the comments on the brand names are correct. Half the names you listed are “skater” brands, like quicksilver, billabong & tripp 5 soul. Of course people will still wear these brands at a rave, but not more than any other brand. In my Seattle rave experience there really isnt a “rave brand” for clothes. Its whatever fits your style & that nights vibe. On an average night, over half the people are def rolling balls, pry close to 75%. It’s hard to tell as everyone is in their own world. Safe Partyin’!

I’ve DJ’d at quite a few raves, and been there as a raver on the floor myself more times than I care to mention. I have never taken any drugs, and I still absolutely LOVE it. It’s the music that keeps me pumping, and it’ll always be that way.

Although I’ve seen a few things from those stores in the past, personally I prefer to keep my baggy neon pants and toxic green ski suit.

Actually, I go to raves all the time and never taken any kind of illegal substance. I don’t know about anyone else, but for me I just love dancing and electronic music. I also love to dress up in crazy costumes. I’ve gone to raves with large groups of people before and none of them were on any kind of drug, nor did they priorly drink any alcohol.
