Rave Parties-a Den of All Vices
Rave parties- the den for all vices
INTRODUCTION
In the late 1950s in London the term "Rave" was used to describe the "wild bohemian parties" of the Soho beatnik set. People who attend these parties are called “ravers”. The genres of electronic dance music played include house, trance, psytrance, techno, dubstep, jungle, jungle techno, drum and bass, UK hardcore, hardcore techno, happy hardcore, breakbeat, hardstyle and many others with the accompaniment of shows, projected, paint, glow sticks and smoke machines. Rave, rave dance, and rave party are parties that originated mostly because of acid house parties, which featured electronic music and light shows

Consumption of dangerous substances known collectively as club drugs-including Ecstasy, GHB, and Rohypnol-are gaining popularity in rave parties. Raves were exclusive parties organised by European clubs in the 1980s – secretive, after-hours and private – to ensure minimum interference from law officers. Attendance was restricted to invitees only. The venue of rave parties was a closely guarded secret that only the invitees and friends of invitees were told at the night of the party to keep out unwanted visitors. The document states that the secrecy surrounding the party gave the rave culture an "underground" status.
Mass marketing of raves
By the mid-1980s, rave parties overseas had developed such a following among youths that by 1987 London raves had outgrown most dance clubs. It then became common to hold all-night raves - which drew thousands of people - in large, open fields on the outskirts of the city. As the movement continued to grow in the late 1980s, the first
