Most often, the term is used to describe high in energy music that features samples, loops and synthesizers. Dominant styles popularly associated with the original Rave scene included Breakbeat / Acid House, and some forms of trance music can also be included. Less intense forms of rave music include ambient techno, and chillout music, usually used in separate areas of raves known as "chill rooms" that provide a place for "ravers" to rest and relax from the intense dancing and MDMA adulterant overdoses/water intoxication.
The original Rave subculture in Europe (and especially the UK) was mirrored in and initially had much relation to the Crusty culture that emerged in the 80s. It soon spread to the U.S. and other places. Anti-Establishment partygoers/ Neo-Hippies/ New Age Travellers would organise impromptu, illegal free party gatherings in fields or warehouses before media attention and government crackdowns forced the rave scene to legitimize itself in large-scale clubs, and with drug consumption became more hedonistic than idealistic.

The lyrics to The Prodigy's song "Smack My Bitch Up" have been a controversial topic of discussion since its release in 1997. Some have interpreted the lyrics as promoting violence against women, and as a result, it has been banned at some venues and even publicly denounced by feminist groups. However, a closer analysis of the lyrical content suggests a more nuanced interpretation.
The repeated phrase "Smack my bitch up" can be seen as a metaphor for indulging in a hedonistic lifestyle or giving in to one's impulses and desires. It can also be interpreted as a way of reclaiming and subverting a misogynistic phrase, turning it into something empowering. In fact, the song's music video, directed by Jonas Åkerlund, features a female protagonist who engages in wild and debaucherous behavior, challenging traditional gender roles and expectations.
The lyrics also reference changing one's pitch, which can be interpreted as a metaphor for changing one's mindset or mindset-altering substance use. The song's frenetic beats and distorted soundscape further support the idea of losing oneself in a state of exhilaration and abandon.
Overall, while the lyrics to "Smack My Bitch Up" have been controversial and divisive, they can be seen as a provocative and subversive commentary on societal norms and gender roles.
