Your Word

Your Definition

1. A primitive and non-descript word used to connotate the blossoming mass [interest] in the undeground scene of [electronic music], drugs, and parties. The word came to full-flower in the late 1990's, but took a turn for the worst [in the early] 2000's. By then, a wave of drug overdoses, emergencies, and public fear cast the word into mainstream television use as more and more reporters, entirely disconnected with the culture, beat it to death in the daily news. This ignorance was greatly exemplified by adding a hypen and the word "party" to "rave", which was totally [unnecessary], but kept the aging, elderly people who vote good and scared, until they had almost completely eliminated any event that ran over a single day.

2. Directly after the word "rave" was thrown on the trash heap of words that cool people no longer said, it remained unused for a period of several years. A re-surfacing of the word eventually took place, with it now being used as a symbolic word, tinged with sarcasm, to mean, roughly, "beat," or "beaten to death." The new use is characterized by a completely lack of enthusiasm.
