Etymology : RAVE party has its roots in England. Tribal gatherings swept Neolithic Britain or the era that ends the stone age and the beginning of the farming era. During the Middle Ages, the few black faces in Britain appeared to be entertainers linked to royal entourages. African drummers lived in Edinburgh in 1505. In London, Henry VII and his son Henry VIII both employed a black trumpeter named in one scroll as "John Blanke". Historians give 1555 as the beginning of a continuous Black presence in Britain. This all gave rise to blending of African music with the English Music. Thus essentially hybrid in origin, rock music includes elements of several black and white American music styles.
Birth of Rock 'N' Roll : The first rock 'n' roll record to achieve national popularity was "Rock Around the Clock" made by Bill Haley and the Comets in 1955. Haley succeeded in creating a music that appealed to youth because of its exciting back beat, its urgent call to dance, and the action of its lyrics. The melody was clearly laid down by electric guitar; the lyrics were earthy and simple. He also succeeded in translating black rhythm and blues into a form that adolescent white audiences could understand.
Mostly Rock music is often associated with heavy instrumentation, reverberating thru a sound system and played by Hyper active musicians wearing all black grab.
In the early 1050"s, Cleveland disc jockey Allan Freed, revolutionized the music world. Borrowing a ghetto term for sexual fornication, he coined the term "ROCK N ROLL". The Encyclopaedia Britannica Yearbook for 1956 described rock'n roll as, "insistent savagery....deliberately competing with the artistic ideals of the jungle". If we were to trace back to the original roots of the Blues, R&B, Jazz and Rock’n’Roll in America, it would be around 1619 when the first twenty Negroes were sold into slavery from a ship(English Ship called 'White Lion') arrived in Virginia.Thus began one of the ugliest eras of human history – and a harrowing experience for the original African-Americans. To keep their oral traditions alive and lift their spirits in the face of this immense suffering, they turned to the music that had been an integral part of their everyday lives in Africa – and which was, itself, steeped in magical ritual and voodoo. Any well researched book about the history and origins of the 'rock and rol'l beat will tell you that its rhythmical style is derived from the beat of the ritual Voodoo dances of Africa.
The rock and roll beat has syncopated rhythm, and places the accent on the off beat in 4/4 time. The key to its effectiveness lies in constant repetition, which research has shown has a hypnotic effect on those who are exposed to it for extended periods. (Spend some time watching dancers in a night club, and you will see the hypnotic power of Voodoo-style rhythm on the human organism).
Voodoo is sensual and unrestrained in nature:The follower of Voodoo seeks to incorporate a LOA (lesser god) into himself by writhing and leaping through a dance, while drums bang out complex rhythms. When just the right rhythm is found for an individual LOA, the dancer takes it up, and the LOA enters his soul. His physical and mental powers are immediately heightened; he becomes god-like himself. Animals will often be sacrificed to appease the spirits...The religion is strictly Dionysian, and dances often end in wholesale copulation.
Each percussive or vocal part has a slightly different rhythm, which coincides with and sometimes crosses the other rhythms, or the guiding pulses, at strategic moments. The drummers often shuffle their feet or sway their bodies in dance-like motions to assist them in maintaining contact with the main beat, especially when the rhythm is syncopated. During these rituals that still take place in the Congo and Yrulaland, the intricate layers of the multiple rhythmic drumming are considered a primary source of occult power.
The club scene today is a high-tech version of this Voodoo sexual gratification. Darkened, pulsating clubs and raves capture many with their hypnotic sensual atmosphere. Even the lyrics of music played in clubs compels club-goers into sexual encounters that lead to shame and heartache. (This is the same satanic influence that gives life to the spirit of unrestrained sexual gratification in Voodoo).
Rap Music and Nightclubs: The music today that most closely resembles the Voodoo ritual dance music is rap. As in Voodoo, it is the bare essentials of the beat that form the basis of rap music. On top of the beat is heard the monotonous chanting of the rappers. In this musical environment, listeners can easily slip into a hypnotic drug-and-music-induced stupor, losing control of the master brain. This opens them up to the power of suggestion and lessens their ability to reason. The music becomes the hypnotic tool, opening the mind to receive the messages that demons want to implant. Digitize and modernize Voodoo music, and you end up with rap.
There is nothing new about rap or the endless beats heard pumping through clubs and raves around the world. Inside these temples of modern paganism, today's youth revel in their rebellious freedom. Half-naked bodies, writhing in sweat and saturated in drugs and alcohol, worship the gods of conceit and sexual expression. What these young people don't understand is that they are repeating a ritual that has formed the basis of Satan worship and pagan(one who has little or no religion and who delights in sensual pleasures and material goods: an irreligious or hedonistic person)ceremony for thousands of years. Whether we like it or not, the ingredients that make a Voodoo ritual ceremony such a satanic success are the very same ones that keep dance parties thriving today. (No true child of God will be found in their association)
Technic: A lot of focus is placed on the tension during the build up. Rock songs tend to work their way up into the big choruses, just as rave builds to the drops. But most importantly for these genres, the similarity lies in being obsessed with intensity. It's very much about how loud and how big the tunes are.
Sampling rock music in rave tunes: A quick way to get that raw, rock power into the rave environment is to put that iconic distorted guitar over a driving programmed beat. This works really well as, so long as the frequencies of the bass don't interfere with those of the guitar, it can result in crisp production with plenty of power. It's that marriage of the technology of rave with the personality of rock that brings together this resultant hybrid of high quality and live intensity. This wave of bands have grown up with one ear pointed towards the stage and the other on the dance floor.... (and the evolution is not over yet by any means!) Rave culture also entails the use of a range of Licit and illicit drugs. Drug use is intended to enhance ravers's senstaions and boost their energy so they can dance for long periods.
No question - raves are loud! That's part of the reason you go, right? But did you know that excessive sound levels can cause permanent damage to your ears and hearing? Noise at or above 85 decibels (dB) for extended periods carries a serious risk of causing permanent hearing loss. As the decibels rise, the safe listening period shortens. The noise level at the average rave or rock concert is about 135dB and peaks at around 150dB!
Part of the reason raves are so popular is because of the freedom of expression that many people feel is part of the rave experience. For some, this self-expression can also include exploring aspects of their sexuality. And since rave parties tend to emit love, warmth and affection, this may lead to physical intimacy.
CAUTION: But,- you don't want to get lost in the moment and look back with regrets. Keep in mind:
1. Children are forever
2. AIDS is the fastest growing disease in the world.
3. Other sexually transmitted diseases can have permanent and horrible results as well - including death.

Bible says : "But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God - having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.
Conclusion : Young Man....the Devil entices.....each one is tempted by his lusts, being drawn away and seduced by them. Then when lust has conceived, it brings froth sin and sin when it is fully formed brings forth death.
