Since then, it evolved in the 1960s to mean a wild event in general along with the party people who attended them. 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?

Raves and the Culture of Healing Behind it May 08, 2020 What is Raving?               Raving began in the early 1980’s and quickly evolved by the emergence of techno music in Europe.
