Rave Culture is relationship between music, ceremony and spirituality. Fondness for distant societies is in fact an explicit feature of rave discourse. A governing ideology of rave culture is to "lose themselves" in the music and mood. This way they seek to lose their mundane individual identity to form a fantasy-based and technologically enhanced identity and become subsumed into the mass identity of the crowd. Throughout each society on earth, there are many different cultures, lifestyles, and traditions. When raving first became popular, it was an entirely different and strange thing that no one else had seen before. Beginning as an underground movement in Europe raves have evolved into a highly organised, commercialised, world-wide party culture. Money is flowing in India like crazy, never before the youth ever had so much money in hand. Rave parties would often have grown up kids of rich industrialists, IT sector employees, beautiful girls, models, air-hostesses and other people for whom money is not an important factor. The post-modern approach views the rave as a culture of abandonment, disengagement and disappearance. Post-modernism is typified by the disappearance of the subject. Rave culture is geared towards fascination rather than meaning, sensation rather than sensibility; creating an appetite for impossible states of hyper-simulation.
