Interesting side note concerning the US military's experiments with MDMA. Their trials concluded that subjects became too empathetic, too passive, and far more willing to engage with an adversary on non-adversarial terms, thus the chemical had "limited to no tactical value."

If you didn’t experience it directly, the late 80’s early to mid nineties was amazing. Getting garried up, dancing like a tit, hugging everyone around you and just being with 100’s of people with no trouble. No showing off, no pretentiousness just good vibes, amazing tunes and a lot of come downs. Partying will never be the same as long as people care more about how they look, over having an amazing time whilst out of your tree. Garries will never be the same again

Here in Australia, they call raves a doof, they hold them in middle of the bush to this day, only it's mostly ket they use. Human Traffic is my all time favourite doco (lol), it was so on point as a movie portraying the scene and the story was a banger too

You forgot to talk about the Essex and what that lead to in 1996 with the Essex's boys

I was a candy raver in the 90s. This is quite the throwback 😊

The moral panic at the time was real. Telling a bunch of reception/year 1 kids at the time about Ecstacy, the week after Dunblane happened was one hell of a mood whiplash EDIT: To be fair the way I've always heard it from people who were deep into rave culture was they were going for industtrial estates and not rocking up and taking over a town hall and blasting beats. Then you had the club scenes too with club ravers. Hello there Hacienda club for example

Funk and Soul all-dayers in the 70s and 80s combined with jamaican soundsystem culture had people raving before house music

17:48 Orbital :) Back in highschool (early 2000's) I started to listen artists like Future Sound of London, Orbital, The Prodigy, the Chemical Brothers, Juno Reactor, et cetera. Back then it was all "techno" to me, maybe slighly more intelligent than what was commonly known as "techno" (read: cheap and silly pop dance music, popular at discoteques at the time). Then "Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music" came along, allowing me to educate myself in the matter... Getting into this music was just a matter of time, I always liked electronic music and artists like Vangelis, Jean-Michel Jarre and "Synthesizer Greatest" compilations. First heard the term "rave" when I was reading about The Prodigy - "Music for the Jilted Generation" was supposed to be reaction to the British law essentially banning the rave parties in 1994 (f___ 'em and their law!). I really liked the MFtJG, since two tracks, "Voodoo People" and "One Love" were used in the movie "Hackers". I also liked their first album "Experience" made in style of "breakbeat hardcore" (aka "oldschool rave" - common ancestor of jungle and happy hardcore) and "The Fat of the Land". the phenomenon so far known as "techno subculture" became known as "rave culture". I never was at the rave party. But I really like the music, like house (Daft Punk), actual techno (Jeff Mills, Underground Resistance, Chris Liebing, Siasia), trance (Astral Projection, early Juno Reactor), drum and bass (4 Hero, Omni Trio, LTJ Bukem), et cetera. Sadly the internet radio "Digitally Imported" which provided live shows for many electronic music genres, became more and more annoying with ads and then disabled playing links in external music player like Foobar 2000. Luckily the single-style radios, like jungletrain, BassDrive (drum and bass) or deepinradio (deep house) still work. When it comes to the culture, I think the PLUR (peace love unity respect) was not only nice, but also very different from how "techno" fans were stereotypally portraied, mostly by metalheards (read: gopniks/chavs constantly high on drugs (usually amphetamine), making lots of noise and acting violently towards anything that moves). I like the idea that people may throw away their differences, like race, nationality or sexual orientation and just party together like there's no tomorrow. After all, we're all humans, you know? Place where you can be accepted no matter who you are sounds like a paradise to someone like me - socially anxious, awkward and not really feeling welcome anywhere. It's really sad that moral panic around rave parties made MDMA illegal, despite being successful in treating PTSD and could be very promising for severe social anxiety disorder. Taking drugs at the parties is risky (to say the least), but if they can help people, they should be allowed for psychiatric use, at least IMHO.

In the early to mid 90's I used to get booked for Raves and took between 30 and 60 fire / stage performers, put on massive pyrotechnic shows with flame throwers, explosives and big trucks with 40ft towers and all sorts, performed with Orbital, Fat Boy Slim, Carl Cox and loads more, they were the daze. The main outside shows would get up to 20k people watching.

You should do a video on the people that would travel around and follow the Grateful Dead back in the 70’s/80’s

Some Gabberheads can be seen in 19:47 I guess.

I was in my late teens during the rave era. I didnt do the drug part but I remember the House and Acid House(still listen to it). I went to one rave, in Merton I think it was. A big warehouse club called The Juice Bar. No booze, no drugs but we had the music and we STILL had an epic time :)

Great video mate. Not exactly how I remember it, but I guess that's obvious. I was living on site and no one got away with calling us hippies. One thing you picked up on, that really holds true, is that people organised together, whether it was Anarcho Punk, Techno, Acid House Psychadelic Rock; we all shared the stage and danced. There was unity. I remember going to Reading and watching Poisoned Electric Head, along with Acid DJ's and Punk bands. What a night, totally good. The festival thatreally stands out from that era, was Treworgy Tree Festival in Cornwall.

I spent the 90's at the warehouse parties around London. You'd get the odd hippy, but most were definitely not 😁 Most of the people I was with were punks. Always found it funny being at a rave on a Saturday night and seeing random ravers I was chatting with at a death metal gig on a Thursday night. It took all sorts

At the heart of every musical genre is a black American dude somewhere.
