"In the name of the moon... we'll plur with you! Come PLUR OR COME PURR!" read the online invite to the recent Sailor Moonrave, which came to the Brooklyn Monarch on December 29. Plur, which stands for "Peace, Love, Unity, Respect," is a mantra for the electric dance music and rave communities, an acronym that grew out of a desire to have a safe, inclusive, ethical space to experience music and movement.

And then there's Sailor Moon. The iconic anime series premiered in Japan in 1992 during the peak era of rave culture; more than 30 years later, Sailor Moon memes and references are engrained in internet language and culture. Mashable culture critic Jess Joho called watching the series, which you can stream on Hulu, "like chicken soup for the queer soul."
