Une rave-party, c'est quoi?
C'est le rassemblement de plusieurs milliers de jeunes "raveurs" ou "teufeurs" qui débarquent et s'installent sur un terrain avec leurs sonos dans le but d'écouter de la musique techno. Durant des heures ou des jours, la techno et la bière coulent à flot.
Nous n'avons pas à prendre partie "pour ou contre les raves" comme on nous y invite parfois.
Notre position et nos revendications
Les associations de protection de la nature de la région s'insurgent contre la tenue de ce genre de manifestation sur des espaces naturels sensibles. D'autres lieux, beaucoup plus appropriés pour le déroulement de ces festivals de grande envergure, devraient être proposés aux organisateurs lors de leur demande d'autorisation.
Ces associations de protections de la nature sont intervenues dès qu'elles ont eu connaissance de la tenue de cet événement : courrier aux députés et sénateurs concernés, au président de la région, intervention auprès de la Diren et des autres représentants de l'Etat (ministres de l'Ecologie et du développement durable, de la Défense nationale et de l'Intérieur). En vain : seuls 3 élus Marnais sont intervenus au niveau national. La décision du ministère de l'Intérieur a prévalu sur les préconisations du ministère de l'Ecologie (ce qui permet de mesurer l'importance donnée en France par l'Etat à la protection de notre environnement).
Nous avons été pris de vitesse cette année (la rumeur de la tenue de cette rave n'a couru que quelques jours avant son début) et il faut absolument éviter que cet événement ne devienne habituel sur des zones classées. A quoi bon nous battre pour faire classer certains sites dans le Réseau Natura 2000 si notre gouvernement tient si peu compte de ce classement en zone protégée.
Doit-on sacrifier autant d'espèces déjà menacées de disparition sur l'hotel du divertissement ?
Notre réponse est claire : il n'est pas envisageable qu'une telle manifestation se reproduise sur un site classé, que ce soit Marigny ou ailleurs. Si l'on accepte le saccage de sites naturels proposés à Natura 2000, c'est toute la politique environnementale de notre pays qui est remise en cause!

A rave party, more often just called a rave, also called free-parties, is typically an all-night dance event where electronic dance music and rave music are played, usually by a DJ.
History
Mainstream raves began in the mid-to-late 1980s as both a product of and a reaction against the increasingly commercial, alcohol and meat-market oriented nightclub scene and hollywood-monopolized radio airplay.
In an effort to maintain some distance and secrecy from the mainstream club scene, most raves were (and continue to be) held in places like warehouses, rental halls, and outdoor locations, although sometimes reluctantly nightclubs and legitimate concert venues are used.
Some hardcore ravers believe the first "rave" involved the Baby boomers at Woodstock in 1969, and that the subsequent children of the boomers, later became the first mainstream "ravers". Children of boomers, it can be argued, were raised by parents who professed "free love" and less physical violence in disciplining children, who experimented with drugs, and who openly disagreed with their own parents, especially in regards to the Vietnam War. Such a legacy could explain modern rave culture.
Early raves invitations were only by word of mouth, there by controlling to some extent who would and could attend. As law enforcement began to disrupt raves, the secrecy became very elaborate, with cell phone numbers leading to web sites, leading to other phone numbers, leading to finally a last-minute contact phone number or location, and here you would receive directions to the rave location.
Rave culture
Raves are predominately attended by ravers, a sub-culture. The openness and welcoming nature within the rave community is said to be refreshing in a world filled with judgementalism. Thus, according to ravers, a rave party provides a few hours of escape and relaxation along with a sense of oneness with similar-thinking ravers. Ravers try to be, or at least show that they are happy and fun and avoid negativity or physical confrontation.
The experience at a club are often decidedly different from a rave as clubs take most of their profit from alcohol sales, and create an atmosphere of drunken, slightly slowed intoxication; for this reason, they attract the pre-existing dance music crowd, are 21 and up, and often sound more like commercialised radio stations than a continuous mix of international electronic music, in an positive atmosphere. The combination is apparent in the fights and hostile attitudes that often occur in nightclubs. Fighting or arguing of any sort is extremely rare at raves.
While the influence of recreational drugs on the early rave scene is undeniable, there is much debate over the role drugs continue to play, and what should be done about them. Opponents of raves seek to outlaw the parties and the people who organize or host them, contending that rave parties are "drug orgies" that exist exclusively for the rampant use and trafficking of dangerous substances. Proponents retort that people attend raves primarily for the love of a new music genre, to dance, to participate in the social scene, and that recreational drugs at music events are infused in the culture of youth, regardless of raves. Moreover, at most raves, attendees are either not using drugs at all or are using relatively benign substances in a reduced-risk manner, and that a typical rock/rap concert or major sporting event is rife with far more rampant consumption of much more dangerous substances.
