rave

Glowstick dance marathon

Rave is a noun and verb with contrasting meanings, all of which suggest high enthusiasm and energy.

To rave about something is to talk with great enthusiasm – usually in praise, but sometimes in condemnation.

If someone is just raving, they are speaking uncontrollably; if they’re also speaking incoherently, they may be raving mad.

A rave may be a large party, or it may be short for rave review, that is, a very positive assessment about a place or experience.
