Types of ravers

The following are loosely defined stereotypes generated by the U.S. rave community. They are generalized, inconclusive, and are not necessarily complete or current.

Gumby Raver - A relatively old-schooler who has made big appearances on the rave scene in early to mid rave days, always on drugs (mostly hallucinogens). Is nowdays only found every now and then at indoor raves but a fond member of the all-night outdoor doofs.

Groovers - generally listen to hard house or happy hardcore, a kind of electronic music with faster tempo and beats. Dancing between two groovers is called "battling." This is to show off moves and different combinations for respect among the other groovers.

Old school raver - refers to someone who has been a raver for some time, whereas a baby raver or a newbie refers to someone who is new to raving or at their first rave. Old school ravers are sometimes called pure ravers or true ravers or partykids. Something can be rave or have raveness.

Jaded raver - one who has been in the rave scene for a long time or someone who is growing tired of 'the scene' and raving. They may be annoyed at what the raving experience has become, or they may be lackadaisical about certain aspects of raving that they once held a fondness for. Quite often a jaded raver will not appreciate the influx of new ravers into the scene, because the new ravers are viewed as contributing to the scene's decay. Most of the time, they will either give up raving or their jaded attitude (which eventually, logically, has to apply to not going to raves at all, in which case, they can move onto the next trendy "scene," such as the hip hop scene, or even further down the rave/electronica sub-culture, such as "househeads" and "junglists").

Club kids - the self proclaimed "original" ravers and nightlife circuit attenders, predominantly a major urban center (New York City, Miami, Los Angeles, etc.) culture type. Most club kids came from the early gay and house music scenes, many are transgender or crossdress. The most famous examples of "club kids" would likely be Michael Alig, the convicted murderer and subject of the 2003 movie Party Monster, or RuPaul, arguably the world's most famous drag queen.

Candykid or Kandikid - often wears brightly colored and child-like fashions such as day-glo wide-leg pants (aka phat pants), black light-reactive or glow-in-the-dark bracelets/necklaces, fur pets and t-shirts featuring cartoon characters. Candy ravers or candykids wear homemade bracelets and necklaces made of plastic, glass, or felt beads or candy. They are often found exchanging or giving out small gifts. These small gifts will usually be hugs, toys, glowsticks, CDs, necklaces, bracelets, and/or candy.

Junglist - refers to a sub-culture of the rave scene defined by drum and bass and jungle music. Many Junglists detest mainstream rave music and prefer darker and deeper vibes. Many junglists differentiate themselves from 'ravers' owing to the public/mass media connotations of the word. Many jungalists dress in a more militant or urban fashion: many wear either hip hop influenced clothing or camouflage / military influenced clothing. Junglists are generally seen as more jaded, angry, and aggressive than other ravers but that's not always the case. This term died out in the UK circa 1996, and its continued use amongst certain Americans generates a degree of amusement amongst the British contingent. In addition, UK fans of drum and bass / jungle are only to happy to term events 'raves' and describe themselves as, if not 'ravers', then most certainly 'going raving', 'going to a rave'. Camouflage is definitely a fashion 'no-no' in UK drum and bass clubs / raves, as is any military clothing.

Dark raver or Graver - the raving equivalent of a goth. Gravers tend to wear darker clothing and makeup and frequent events called dark raves. Like Junglists they tend to enjoy darker music and atmosphere. There is some overlap between the dark rave scene and the industrial and EBM scene. "Traditional" goths occasionally hold distaste for gravers, as they prefer dark electronic music, or "electrosludge" as detractors have termed it, over the more traditional gothic rock. Some go as far to say that bands popular with gravers are causing decay in the goth subculture by flooding scenes with more easily produced music.

Cyber kids - Sometimes considered a hacker, but in the rave scene they are somewhat of a mix of a candy kid and a graver. They will often wear the baggy pants with straps and accessories common to the graver, but they choose the tight or loose fitting colorful shirts of the candy kids. Unlike most gravers they do not think themselves too good to dance, but in contrast they indulge in the feeling of the music and dance to their heart's content. They generally wear some "candy" and/or bead-based jewelry, but not an abundance noteworthy of the candy kids. They tend to choose colors more somber than the candy kids, but brighter and more lively than the gravers do. Some carry a stuffed toy and other peripherals that would mark the candy kids, but also wear the spikes and straps common of gravers. Some cyber kids, like candy kids, give hugs/candy/toys/etc. to people for no apparent reason. UV-reactant hair extensions, often made of plastic, rubber and/or yarn, are very common to both female and male cybers.

E-tard - A primarily pejorative or derogatory term used to refer to ravers under the obvious or apparent influence of illegal drugs, most commonly ecstasy, but may also apply to people affected by acid, 5-Meo-DIPT and/or GHB. The term is actually a play on the word "retard," where the "E" (short name for ecstasy in many regions) replaces the "re." E-tards usually dress in the style of Candy Kids and can often be seen sucking a pacifier to calm the teeth-grinding side effect of ecstasy use. They may also prefer to settle far away from the music in calmer and more soothing areas known as "roll piles" (also known as "cuddle puddles," or "chill rooms") while under the effect of the drugs.

Goaheads or psytrancers - a subculture that grew out of raves that is centered around parties which primarily play Goa trance (outdoor parties are usually preferred among Goaheads). These kind of ravers are generally more "hippy"-like in dress and philosophy, and sometimes prefer to distance themselves from the "rave" scene, avoiding the term "rave" when referencing their parties and culture, even though there is some crossover in philosophy, music, and origins of the subculture. The psytrance scene tends to be especially cosmopolitan, with many major multi-day festivals being located in foreign countries with no local psy-trance scene (e.g. India, specifically Goa, the namesake of the genre, even though very few locals have an interest in the music which bears the name of their province) and even when there is a local interest in the scene there tends to be a disproportionately international crowd. This scene is larger than other rave sub-scenes in some countries such as Israel, Brazil, South Africa, Japan and Scandinavian countries, although there are smaller scenes in many other countries.

Polo Raver - A common type of raver dress style that became popular around 1995 until about 2000, particularly in the New England area and New York City. This style was typified by both male and female partygoers dressed in an oversized preppy-like clothing style, most commonly Polo Sport by Ralph Lauren (although Nautica and Tommy Hilfiger were also commonplace). The branded clothing would be combined with large pants, the bottoms of which would usually encircle and cover a Polo Raver's shoes completely. In the early days of the Polo raver style, it was common for ravers to make their own pairs of big pants, usually made by sewing in 'inserts' into an existing pair of pants using the same style of fabric. Later in the decade, companies like Kikwear, JNCO, and Auraz-E produced this style of pants that one could purchase pre-made. This sort of warped-preppy dressed-up uniformity of the Polo raver style gradually fell out of popularity beginning in 2000 as an influx of newer ravers dressed in the "candy raver" style emerged in the Northeast.

THE KIDDY RAVERS - the younger variety of clubber. this tribe is the breeding ground for others tribes. think big fish, littlr fish, glowstick and trance. the kiddy raver are often found making boxes, reaching for lasers and waving glowsticks in time to trance or hard house. A sydney version of the gatecrasher kids, they mature past the glowsticks and develop into other tribes, often slighty embarrased they once went out wearing fluffy hot pants and horms
to find them : transmission, T2, Sublime and GAS

TRENDIES - wearing so much tsubi one has to wonder if this is a fashion label or uniform? a typical male Tsubi, or it means trendies has on converse trainers, bright blue, skin toght jeans, most of their arse hanging out of the back (with hopefully boxers covering their actual bum) a punk t-shirt, sweat bands and in very extreme cases wearing a head band. due the cost of their outfit they wear the same thing, weel in week out. no interest in the music is being played,, the trendies hop from club to club, parading their outfits. generally quite funny to observe, this tribe is fine as long as they make up 10% of their crowd

SUBURBAN TRIBES - travel in packs, hitting clubs, bars and often other tribes. there are 3 major groups: westies, easties and northshore boys.

CHIN STROKERS - the dance equivalent of the nerd. often scruffy, highly musically educated and sometimes smelly. the chin strokers likes to offer intense nodding and discussion of "the journey through sound" whilst huddled in corners. generally found only in the most cutting edge of clubs, listening to deep tech house and proper electro. the chin stroker occasionally hits the bigger clubs, but only to see certain touring dj's and to stand snarling in contempt to the trendies
find them: Glitch, Mad Racket or in corner at Tank or Home

TRASHBAGS - look and adopt the attitudes of other tribes. sometimes they infiltrate tribes in pairs pretending to be like them, however they are still easy to spot. they are trashed. really trashed. often scatty from getting on it every weekend. usually on their second night straight through. you can tell  a trashbag from their marathon partying sessions, pushing on through the weekend. sometimes gurning, but often such as  a hardcore party animal they can consume enough pills to feed a kiddy raver for a year and not break a sweat. thhis tribe also love their music, are educated in their taste and are so deeply commited to the scene. they discuss it at lenght, along with whatever random rubbish enters they mind
find them: everywhere

OLD SKOOL - the original clubbing tribe. many of them are also ROT's (raver over thirty), however don't make the mistake of thinking all pf the members are wrinkels though. old skool is an attitude, as they have loads of it. outwardly friendly they tend to be understated in the fashion stakes, wearing high tickets items and apperaing laid back. don' be fooled, generally cliquey this little tribe has the fastest wit in clubland tearing a part the unsuspecting. musically educatedand generally hardcore parties, close to trashbags tribes, the old skool tribe don't party every weekend or or go straight through. the effort to ensure a high level of clubbing society is strenuous, which is why they generally look pissed off or bored. entry to this tribe is only given to the most polished of the trashbags and chinstrokers
