    Nice simple post. It flows really well. I liked how you mentioned food being important in many ways. Food is always a great way to connect with and also the dead I guess. The concept of offering food to the dead even though food is expensive and valuable really shows a lot about their respect for the died. Great job!

Now that’s not completely wrong, but raves can go a lot deeper for many who are invested in the culture of raving and the music, family, and traditions that brings joy to so many. Rave culture is an important part in today’s art, music, and literature, as it not only impacts the economy but also brings together thousands of people to an event where memories are made, friendships are kindled, and love is found.

This said, it was not until the 1980s when the word rave become popular in use with the signifying accompanying electronic music; this trend evolved in the next couple of decades to be the truly spectacular social events that we know and love today.   Raves in the Present  So far, a lot has been said on the origin of raves but what about the ones that occur in the present?
