Rave music may either refer to the late 1980s/early 1990s genres of [[House music|house]], [[new beat]], [[breakbeat]], [[acid house]], [[techno]] and [[hardcore (electronic dance music genre)|hardcore techno]], which were the first genres of music to be played at rave parties, or to any other genre of [[electronic dance music]] (EDM) that may be played at a rave.

The genre "rave", also known as '''hardcore''' (not to be confused with other "hardcore" music genres) by early ravers, first appeared amongst the UK "acid" movement during the late 1980s at warehouse parties and other [[underground culture|underground]] venues, as well as on [[Pirate radio in the United Kingdom|UK pirate radio stations]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/subgenre/rave-ma0000004480|title=Rave Music Genre Overview|publisher=AllMusic}}</ref> Another genre called "rave" during the early 1990s, was the [[Belgian hardcore techno]] music that emerged from [[new beat]], when techno became the main style in the Belgian EDM scene.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.tsob.be/ |title=The Sound of Belgium Documentary |website=www.tsob.be |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160411121330/http://www.tsob.be/|archive-date=11 April 2016}}</ref>

The "rave" genre would develop into [[breakbeat hardcore|oldschool hardcore]], which lead onto newer forms of rave music such as [[drum and bass]], [[2-step garage|2-step]] and [[happy hardcore]] as well as other [[Hardcore (electronic dance music genre)|hardcore techno]] genres, such as [[gabber]] and [[hardstyle]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://music.ishkur.com/ |title=Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music |website=Ishkur.com}}</ref>

Rave music is usually presented in a [[DJ mix]] set, although live performances are not uncommon.

Styles of music include:
*[[Breakbeat]]: Breakbeat music (or breaks for short) refers to any form of rave music with breakbeats, this may range from [[breakbeat hardcore]] to [[nu skool breaks]], including genres such as [[hardstep]] and [[breakcore]] cross over into the [[hardcore techno]] sound. Fusions of house and trance also exist but the drum 'n' bass still remains the most popular form of breakbeat played at rave parties.
*[[Drum and bass]]: Drum and bass music refers to a music genre with a very specific sound of four significant notes called breakbeat, that serves as a bassline for the song – that's why most drum and bass songs use 170 – 176 BPM, most frequently specifically 174 BPM. Drum and bass includes multiple large subgenres, those who are frequently played at raves include [[Liquid drum & bass|liquid]] (known for harmonic vocals, less aggressive bass drops and emotional atmosphere), classic dancefloor (energetic and overall positive party music, sometimes even drum and bass remixes of popular songs), [[Jump-up (drum and bass)|jump-up]] (a less complicated beat, sometimes using machine-like sounds, amplified for consumers of heavier music) and [[neurofunk]] (almost sci-fi like subgenre of a heavy and dark drum and bass, only rarely using well-known samples or even traditional music melodies).
*[[Electro (music)|Electro]]: Electro and [[techno]] are two genres which largely featured [[psychedelic music|psychedelic sounds]] and are largely considered the earliest forms of electronic dance music genres to use the term "rave music" in respect to its modern terminological use. Techno sometimes crosses boundaries with [[house music]], hence the genres [[trance music|trance]] and [[acid techno]]. [[Miami bass]] and [[crunk]] is sometimes included as "electro".
*[[Free tekno (music)|Free tekno]]: This style of electronic music started in the early 1990s and was mostly played in illegal parties hosted by [[Sound system (DJ)|sound systems]], such as Spiral Tribe, Desert Storm, Hekate, Heretik, in warehouse, dismissed buildings, or even illegal open-air festivals, called Teknivals. It takes inspiration from various other genres, and mainly focuses on quick beats, 170/200 bpm, acid bassline, mentals sounds, and often samples taken from movies, popular songs or many other different media sources.
*[[Gqom]]: Gqom music, heavily influenced by techno and [[broken beat]], features diverse rhythmic patterns,subgenres and styles. It incorporates [[Drone (sound)|drone sounds]] to create a hypnotic or trance-like effect. [[Gqom#Taxi kick|Taxi kick]] is occasionally tailored by some record producers particularly for illegal raves.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Collin |first=Matthew |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=03MuDwAAQBAJ&q=gqom+techno |title=Rave On: Global Adventures in Electronic Dance Music |date=2018-01-11 |publisher=Serpent's Tail |isbn=978-1-78283-145-7 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Radio |first=N.

*[[Hardcore techno]]: Any [[hard dance]] genre that was influenced by the rave genre, usually these genres have a distorted kick drum, and a 4/4 rhythm. [[Happy hardcore]] blended the Dutch hardcore sound with [[Eurodance]] and [[bubblegum pop]], the genre (also known as "[[happycore]]" for short) featured pitched-up vocals and a less distorted 4/4 beat. [[Trancecore]] also exists and is a less vocal fusion of happy hardcore with [[trance music]], however [[hardstyle]] is a more pure form of the trance/hardcore genre since it retains the hardcore sound.
*[[House music]]: House music, especially [[acid house]], is the first genre of music to be played at the earliest raves, during the [[Second Summer of Love]]. House is a genre of [[electronic dance music]] that originated out of the 1980s African-American and Latino [[disco]] scene in Chicago.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.britannica.com/art/house-music|title=House &#124; music |website=Encyclopædia Britannica |date=15 March 2024 }}</ref> House music uses a constant [[bass drum]] on every beat, electronic [[drum machine]] hi-hats and synth [[bassline]]s. There are many subgenres of house music (found below). Since house was originally [[club music]], there are many forms of it, some more appropriate to be played at raves than others. In the UK, subgenres such as [[UK funky]], [[speed garage]] and [[dubstep]] emerged from [[garage house]]. Many "pop house" club music producers branded themselves as "[[house music]]", however, so in rave culture it is often disputed whether pop house should be considered as a subgenre of house. "Rave house" is a subgenre label of house music that originated from the styles of house that were typically played in the rave scene of the 1993–1999 period. It is a term used by the general population who do not follow the [[House music|house]] or [[Trance music|trance]] scene specifically, but identify certain house records as "rave music". It is a loose term that generally identifies [[progressive house]], [[hard house]] or trance house styles (often instrumental with no words) that one would imagine being played at a large rave.
*[[Electronic body music|Industrial dance]]: Industrial is a [[Gothic rock|goth]]/rock/[[Punk rock|punk]] related genre. While the genre is not usually considered rave music in itself, it is often fused with rave music genres. Industrial is the origin of many sounds found in rave music; it is one of the first genres that took the sounds that are now popular in rave music such as "acid" as its musical backdrop. Industrial music fans are usually considered [[rivethead]]s and do not tend to call themselves ravers.
*[[Trance music]]: Trance music in its most popular and modern form is an offshoot of house music that originated from the [[acid house]] movement and rave scene in the late 1980s. The history of [[trance music]] is complicated to refer to, as multiple generations of listeners and musicians have influenced the genre. The term "trance" was (and still to this day by many) used interchangeably with "[[progressive house]]" in the early rave years (1990–1994).
[[Downtempo]] and less dance-oriented styles which are sometimes called [[chill-out music]], that might be heard in a rave "chill-out" room or at a rave that plays slower electronic music includes:
