If you can dig up a copy, show her Better Living Through Circuitry. It's pretty good. It doesn't hide from the drug use that happens at raves, but it does a pretty good job at showing that there is a lot more to it.

I'd offer to copy mine, but the DVD broke in two somehow.

What are her thoughts on hippy and disco cultures? There are a great many parralels, if she's friendly to those concepts you could present raves as a modern amalgam of them. Would be a fairly good analogy IMO.

Just be careful and above all rational about how you present your arguments, or she'll just harden her position. And keep in mind that her motivation most likely isn't to be oppressive or controlling, but to protect you. She may well be overreacting, but remember and appreciate the motivation nonetheless.
