Like most of the slang that comes from specialized subcultures, this word has a very specific and subtle meaning. When already established members from a local electronic music scene describe new ravers, they're usually either affectionately referred to as "baby ravers," or derogatorily referred to as "insta-ravers." The term 'baby raver' tends to connote those who have the potential to become a contributing member to the ever-evolving rave culture, but who are naive due to inexperience. The term "insta-raver" tends to connote someone with a herd mentality who quickly becomes a carbon copy of the most ridiculously stereotypical raver possible in an attempt to be accepted by the scene. The word also connotes a lack of the aptitude necessary to comprehend the deeper and more subtle aspects of rave culture. Baby ravers tend to be gently guided and taught by the more experienced members of the scene. Insta-ravers are placated at best. At worst, they're given wrong directions at the map point.
