When the term 'Ravers' is used one would associate that with people who attend raves. Although that is true, 'Ravers' is a subculture organized around a unique form of music, fashion and dance.
Raving, became popular in the early 90s. It focused on self expression and non-conformity.
The rave dress code was about being willing to look however one felt like. It wasn't about about showing off but more about individuality.
Ravers would often show up to raves in ways that made them look young (e.g. with pacifiers & hair in childish styles),absurd, unconventional or loud (e.g. fluorescent coloured clothes, glow sticks & weird jewellery).
Rave music is unusually different. There are no musical acts but a fusion of sounds carefully created and mixed by DJs.
Rave music is made up of techno, acid jazz, house, industrial, ambient, trance, jungle and dub.
The drug MDMA was commonly used by ravers to accompany the musical experience. The intention of it was to heighten sensuality and emotional awareness.
