@Nana: The article mentions toward the end what the PLUR acronym stands for and how ravers exhibit PLUR: "At raves, Kandi bracelets are traded using the acronym PLUR (Peace, Love, Unity Respect) in conjunction with your hand. One person will make the peace sign and press it to the other persons peace sign, then create a heart, then link hands and switch bracelets over the palm. It's a gesture of friendship." Also, The article points out that raving is in fact a state of mind today, not an actual "rave": "Raves appear when the right type of music is played, specifically electronic, dub-step, house, etc. Today, it's a state of mind for ravers. If you say you're going to a "rave," it usually means you're going to see a DJ perform live, jam out, get silly, and make new friends."
