Rave n Dance =/

[Certified-Nutter]

Rave and dance are the exact same thing, my brother ses, that there s distinct difference, and lyrics are what seperate rave and dance, i think thats a load of bullshit myself
wha u guys think? is there a difference between rave and dance?

[IcIrIs]

Dance and rave are very close but rave always has the same speed of beat the whole way through as dance might alternate.

[Weedguru Cusmar]

Dance is any kind of music that has a constant, usualy a simple beat. Rave is it's own form of dance music, nothing specific but usualy faster with heavy drums and basslines.

My view on this is ( Im a heavy dance music listener)

Dance music Is broken down into all different genres, such as techno, trance, house etc.... One of these genres i think is rave

And again rave can also be broken down into different kinds of rave, Such as Harcdore, DnB, Makina, Spanish Techno and one of the more recent ones starting to become popular here where i live in the UK is the scouse house scene, or bounce some call it. Rave i think is more listened to in the Uk, trance and techno are listenede to more in germany, holland, sweden etc

For an example of one type of dance music, download a song by Tiesto

For an example of some rave download 'Happy Hardcore'

Notice rave generally has a more faster, stronger beat and is 'gectic'. and techno or trance or sometinh has a more slow beat and is more chillout than rave
