Rave Terminology

      One of the most confusing aspects of rave culture is our jargon. You may be surprised to find out  "kandi" isn't always edible. This list highlights jargon you need to be especially wary of. You do not want to find yourself in a situation where your life and future are jeopardized.
Below is a short glossary guide (Which is based off of common British EDM jargon) made by the guys over at http://www.fantazia.org.uk/ which is a great source of rave related information.

  3. Some of these translations are pretty amusing. Also almost embarrassing that I use a fair few of them in everyday normal conversation.
