'Raving', as it became known, going to a club full of friends and having my mind taken out and rearranged by gloriously dark and filthy techno music every week was the best thing that ever happened to me and life has never been the same. Back in the 90s there really was a true sense of community, a sense that we could change the world because we already had changed the face of youth culture forever, that despite the protestations of the tutting middle classes, we had created a life and a set of values that were kinder, fairer and more sustainable and inclusive than the culture we inherited, so we danced and organised and made friends, and thought and talked and created music, life, culture and a new society, and it was real, it changed people's lives and empowered people from all walks of life to come together with a shared purpose and an arena for their self-expression.
To be in a party in the early 90s was a thing of pure joy that has never been truly repeated - with popularity came crass commercialization and destruction and erosion of the values that we had nurtured and lived, and slowly the whole thing unravelled into a thousand new musical genres and a whole new generation of kids that came of age when the scene was fractured and rotten and uninspiring. For the people that were in their teens or twenties when 'rave' music happened there can never be anything to match those times, and to be fucking frank, none of us really know what to do now we're in and around 40 - nothing will ever be as good, and I'd give my right arm just to go back for one night, I really would.- right there with you.Mal
