Peace. Love. Unity. Respect. Its the raver's code. I may be pretty new to the rave scene still but the first time i heard about p.l.u.r. I thought it was the greatest thing ever! I still feel that way about it too. I think the world would be so much better if everyone would apply p.l.u.r. to their everyday lives. I may still be new to the rave scene like I said (only about a year) but all th epeople I've met so far have been such nice and friendly people. It was so wonderful to have so many people care weither or not I had a good time adn to watch out for me, a wonderful feeling of acceptance. Since my first rave I have become one of those people who helped start me off in the scene, I'm now the one who watches out for others and makes the scene great. Try to kegoing people, its what makes our scene so great! Try to keep the p.l.u.r going people, its what makes our scene so great!

These are all dictionary definitions, but they explain the basic principles of p.l.u.r.
And once they're taken and put into the context of the rave culture, everything falls
into place. I don't know how to explain exactly what I want to say, so the only way I
can put it is that it all makes perfect sense. That's how I see it.

Here's a more personal description of p.l.u.r. as compared to the dictionary definition of it.

PLUR is one of the most important qualities of the rave. PLUR is the key to preserving
and ensuring a good vibe. If you see someone who is ruining the vibe, please talk to
them in a respectful way. Let them know instead of looking at that person in disgust.
Try to help others who do not know to understand the ravers social code of ethics.
Preach PLUR to those who don't know. Spread the good vibe throughout all that you
do. Bring PLUR out of the rave as well, take it with you in your heart to skewl and work.
With PLUR nothing else matters. That's all anybody needs. The four simple ways to solve
the problems of the world. Peace. Love. Unity. Respect.

Peace
To have peace with one's mind and body. To not hate others because of thier
religion, race, the way they dress, or label. A rave should be a peaceful
environment fot all. If you do not like a certain person at the rave, don't start
a fight with them because it will ruin the vibe.

Love
Love is an emotion. At a rave you love your friends, you love your enemies,
you love people you don't even know. Love can not be described here on this
page. It an emotion stronger than words can describe. Most importantly you
must have love for everyone at a rave. That does not mean, go in the corner
and make love on ecstacy.

Unity
At a rave we all need to have a strong sense of togetherness. Ravers are here
to help people out at a rave. If someone loses their bag, or it gets it stolen, it's
not just their problem, it's yours too. Ravers together are one. Ravers need to
help each other out when the stupid rent-a-cops won't. When you dance by
yourself, you are never dancing alone. Everyone is dancing as a small part of
a whole.

Respect
Respect is a two way street. You must respect yourself, before you can
begin to respect others. All that goes along with the drug scene at raves.
Its one thing to be on a hit of E, but to be on more than 5 hits! That shows
no respect for your body what so ever. Respect your self and respect each
other.
