Hey dudes, I've never personally been to a rave but have always wanted to since I was 13 or so back in the late 90s. So apparently here in Houston where I'm from there's  a "rave" going down at this one place and I was thinking about going since yea, I've never been to one.  
 
So pretty much if anyone has been to a rave in the past five years or so are they fun? Of course my vision of a rave is what I've seen in the movies Go and Groove so are they pretty much that but more modern? If anyone can drop some info on what expect would be cool and also I read that DJ Jazzy Jeff is going to be there so, yea, it has to be awesome right!?

They're hilarious. You won't remember it tomorrow, though. Every rave is effectively your first rave.

@Bruce: People are always taking ecstasy and LSD at raves. If OP isn't ok with those then he shouldn't go at all.

What is this 1999? 
 
Raves suck. Except for taking advantage of chicks on E. And being sober about it, for extra douche points.

My experience with a rave was not good.
 
Drank too much and had sex with some girl that had already slept with about 3 guys that night. I was off my tits drunk. Luckily didnt take any of the blue pills going around. 
 
If you want to experience hell, then by all means go! >_^

Btw, this was a joke. 
 This isnt the 1990's any more, people dont take lsd and dance with glowsticks... 
these days its more about doing shots and boogie-ing on down.

Which I do a lot, and will never call raving. I'm not flipping out on E and wear stupid pants. 
 
Shit's called PARTYING.  
 
But I call it the ol' DnD (drinking and dancing). Nerd cred, what's up?

If you like loud techno and crazy flashing lights, yeah, they're fun. I'm not into 'em anymore, but they can be a good time. Never did any drugs at one either, though plenty of people there do.

Yes, they're still like that. Alcohol at raves suck, after a couple of shots you don't have the energy to dance anymore. Which is one of the many reasons that Ecstasy and LSD are still given out almost free.

Glow sticks, white gloves, whistles, ecstasy and The Prodigy. It's amazing Europe didn't lose and entire generation in the mid nineties. Takes me back to hear 'ACCEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!' and 'Ebaneezer Goode' though. Might play them now actually.

Best one I went to was in Germany. It took me an hour to get from the plane to this mansion that had been taken over. 5 Euros all you can drink. I got my freak on that night!

haha rave. it came strong but dried up fast as well. 99 to 2004 in west coast around my enviorment. i dont even realize rave used to exist till someone mention in the internet! rave around that time is like internationl.... outside of usa is even popular! like in korea now its like it dont exist! 
 
lots of young people and kids in school are crazy about rave at that time.... they even wear rave stuff to school and mall! and everywhere else!
 
rave was wild at that time! now its nothing!
 
and trance music was big.. every car young people in always hear trance. cause rave use trance music now no longer hear trance music in people car now. however i have always like trance music and still listen to it sometimes especially vocal trance. uk is the master of trance. maybe rave and trace still big there in uk right now.
 
mirrors edge theme music was awesome! vocal trance!

All of the ravers I've met have been complete and utter morons. Of course, there may be a couple of moderately intelligent ravers but it's sort of a needle in a cess pit kind of thing.

A good rave depends on the music, the kind of people who like that music and the venue. Your best bet if ever unsure is to Youtube the DJs involved, see some of their live sets and you'll get a better idea. 
 
After looking up some live Jazzy Jeff... I'd say it looks like shite, I wouldn't call that a rave. Bunch of Hip Hop and the DJ screaming. I can't deal with those crowds myself, too much attitude.
 
I went to Creamfields festival last summer, I'd call that a rave. I think we in Europe have more of an idea.

Never been to one, but from what I hear and see (from pictures) raves are totally not for someone like me.  Loud, thumping bass-heavy music, strobe lights, 50,000 beads around your arms, pills, guys wearing stupid looking clothing, girls wearing little to no clothing, and just stumbling around in general completely disoriented.
