The Ravers

Raver is a word that has been used since the 1960s to describe people who are enthusiastic attendees of parties. For this purpose, the term is most common in the UK.

A "raver" is one who goes to raves. Contrary to popular belief, there are many different types of ravers.

1. Candy Ravers that are the ones you see running around shouting things like "PLUR!" or "Want a hug/sucker/glow stick/massage?" They are identifiable by their brightly colored clothing (phat pants being a must...if they're made of fun fur, all the better), enough Candy (brightly colored bead bracelets) to sink the Titanic, oodles of children's toys, as well as a few glow sticks and pacifiers.
2. "Goth" ravers. They're quite easy to spot because they will be dressed in all black like the goths. The more there are the better. They will not socialize outside of the group they came with, and they will never under any circumstances dance. They're too goth for that - dancing equates to happiness and celebration, and that's just not cool.
3. Hoochies These are those well-dressed, snooty people that really shouldn't even be at a rave. The only reason they're at the party is to pick up on some 15 year old e-tard. Well, maybe not, but they certainly are only at the party to get a piece of ass. They will be dressed in whatever is "trendy" and do not know how to dance.
4. Junglists. Junglists are often viewed as being "agro". They listen primarily to Jungle/RnB music, and are partial to camo, hoodies, and clothing in dark colors. Popular junglist hairstyles are dreads (m+f), short hair (m+f), or short with two long bits in the front (f). Quite a few junglists are ex-candy ravers. They may also be "old-skool" or "jaded.
5. Old-skoolers are ravers who have been in the scene since "way back in the day". No matter how good the party is, the music/DJs/parties/drugs/people/anything else about the scene was WAY better when they first started raving. A jaded raver is not nessicarily old skool, but shares the same views as the old skooler.
