My guy. This supposed "dark hole" in the story is actually quite critical to the growth of raves. If ecstacy was not around in the 90's there'd be no spectacle like Tomorrowland today
How so mate? I’m unsure how drugs are directly attributable for a festival’s growth when surely the increasing popularity of the music would be the driving factor
@@slendyshowThere's a Dutch documentary called "30 jaar Dutch Dance" (30 years Dutch Dance) but unfortunately it's in Dutch without English subtitles. I've watched it and there they explain that the places (end of the 80s) which were playing harder types of house music stayed empty. Almost no one liked it. And then XTC came into the picture and places got flooded with people and the genre became so popular that a lot of places in The Netherlands and the UK were playing that kind of music. And so different genres started to exist. So it's true that XTC created the rise of all these EDM genres.
Totally agree. How can you miss out Ecstasy and talk about the history of rave? Also the early UK scene was deeply countercultural. There were lots of abandoned commercial properties in London at the time (before the property boom). I like your video but it doesn't understand the roots of what was happening in the early days. You're right about American raves though seriously wtf are those?
Super interesting! Thanks for the comments guys I'll have to do some more research :) @@proximacentaur1654
MDMA and Music = Godmode
What does "Rave" mean to you? Smash like if you enjoyed this video! :)
all I know is I do it to the grave.
Freedom
dancing till the sun comes up or the popo shows up, whichever happens first in the middle of the forest / a field / a gravel pit :D
Enjoying and appreciating and moving to the best music (harder styles) with your best mates
As someone who's never been to a commercial rave,only the illegal ones
A fine line between all out acceptance and love, and proper dangerous skallies (usual from manchester)...I live in Lancashire, England
Where a good portion of the rave scene started.
Plus, wacky as fuck costumes and batty hippies and people OOOOFFFFF their tits ,eyes like saucers dancing like the possessed till dawn
Raving came to New Zealand in 1988/89 on the heels of Mdma , Gorbachev's (very strong Acid) and Skunk(for the first time) it was weird because when i threw the first party, Skinheads and Rasta's, Bogans (Heavy Metallers) and Disco Douches were all in the same space, which you would have thought would have been a nightmare waiting to happen, and it could have been, if not for the extremely strong Ecstasy, which made everyone hug and laugh and dance till dawn and beyond, new friends were made boundaries were broken down, zero violence, the strangest sight of all was the three Japanese businessmen standing there all night not talking or dancing , just taking notes
This is a similar story in the UK too. Back in the day before CCTV everywhere the football hooligan firms were menacing and brutal. Would always kick off between rival teams.
Once the rave scene picked up they were all dancing and chilling together on the E.
It ended the violence briefly so to speak
How cool to share that! One thing on my bucket list, attend a rave with some good E
Absolutley smashed it, and my boi's storytelling skills are on point. Can't wait to see the follow up to this 👌
Much appreciated!
SOooo much NOSTALGIA ! 😂 THX
Was not expecting the documentary but I'm loving it
What other topics would you like to see?
@@slendyshow history of Q-Dance, Defqon. 1 and various artists
Deep dive into Aussie scenes? Interstate differences etc.?@@slendyshow
@@slendyshowvery well done, thank you! I just want to add 2 things. You say "in order to survive" they had to adapt etc. Yes, from a financial point of view. But for the electronic music lovers of the 90' this didn't have to be the case. There are still young people who like the organic electro and would also go to a Tomorrowland without all the bells and whistles. Money rules the world...
And these days people just stare up at a DJ who plays 2 minutes tracks and jump around when he shouts "jump jump". Slowly dance yourself into a trance, let time, no matter how, is no longer.
slam dancing
soooo cool to see these documentary styles videos on here lately. very much looking forward to the next one! personally, I was missing the psytrance angle in this one.... that is what a rave is to me: psytrance at a all night party or a festival.
Thanks for watching and let us know what you'd like to see next!
The first Partys are illegal , the best Partys are illegal.😊😊😊
Although i get your sentiment towards the word rave. Living in the netherlands i would not describe festivals and commercial events as raves. Here we mostly call a party a rave when its a illegal event. Also dont agree drugs is a dark hole. Information, safety and openness make drugs a safe and fun alternative to alcohol.
if the author of this video say that drugs are fun and adorable, he'll probaby get a strike from youtube
Also when you gonna explain the history of housepartys. Like we call them in the Netherlands. Or feestjes (party's in Dutch)
And not mention the Netherlands ones in the hole story, just stop!!!
You know nothing about it. What Europe? The only country next to the Netherlands who can claim to be the inventors of so called raves are the Italians. Nobody else. Jeezus you should know that. Just lissen to just some little Dutch influenced words. ID&T, Q dance, Bass event, Decibel, Defcon1, Armada Music, spinning records, Awakening, Air, qlimax, Rotterdam Records, Gabber, Masters of Hardcore, Thunderdome, Trance energy, misteryland, Sensation, ground zero, Armin van Buren, hardwell, Martin Garrix, Tiesto, yellow claw, Afrojack, 2unlimited, rave parade, clubx, 3 steps ahead, 2 brothers on the 4 floor, party animals, hardshock, Headhunters, Nightmare, Black, Angerfist, Dr peacock, Don Diablo, party racer, Hellraiser, Holigan, inqontrol, dominator, Diplo, Darkraver, djpaulelstak, cavello, Dana,pavo, wildstyles, Brennan Heard, earthquake, junkieXL, sefa, Amsterdam Dance Event, Captain Hollywood projects, Bass leader, vengaboys, XTC etc etc etc etc etc
I agree on your definition of rave. I also think consumer safety should be prioritized because it's gonna happen anyways and either with more or with less (informed/tested) misery/risk. I also think rave culture has important values to share if commercialization doesn't cannibalize them. But I agree with the maker of the video that there is a dark side to drugs. Not sure if my point is what they had in mind but I think that the glorification/not critically reflecting on consumption is something harmful that I see happen all around me. People are rarely told that what they do might be problematic/not good for them. Beyond the cognitive gymnastics one has to overcome to want a good self image while consuming substances that create inmensurable harm around the world/climate. It's that taking drugs can really drag people into a shit hole. And not everyone is strong enough/well-supported enough to not fall in/climb out once they're in. That's something that should be taken more seriously. It's all fun n games until it isn't. I still think that consumption is ok, but there should be limits and more awareness before people hit rock bottom. Anyways, that's my twoandahalf cents on the topic, for anyone wo cares to read.
@@MAGNA_FRISIA you do know that hardcore comes from germany?
@@Lopro94you clearly are uninformed about Dutch rave culture. Back in the days there were stalls on raves where you can test your drugs, get information on usage and prevention. The Dutch people have all the information to their disposal to get informed opinion on this subject. We also have plenty social safety nets. The Dutch media discuss openly on how to safely use it as well as the origin of substances.
This was a wonderful video! It really helped me fill in some gaps in my knowledge! Wish it was around back when I did a presentation on EDM music genres and rave parties back in my first year of junior highschool 😂 it would have been a big help lol
I also gotta say I loved that short clip of the dad holding his daughter as he bounced. I'm glad he gave her noise cancelling headphones to wear too, I hope she will remember that experience fondly❤
Thanks so much for watching!
Nice video, we Need more culture like this bro
Most definitely!
In Belgium I visit tekno, acid, trance, psytrance, hardcore parties every 2 weeks or so. In europe they are almost everywhere just gotta knnow where to look
I honestly prefer the old school rave vibe. It gives more ✨A E S T H E T I C✨
it hits different
Just give me melodic techno.
and less tictoc culture
One thing to note is as the events became more popular as world wide popularity rose, companies had more money to invest in bigger and better stages. You can see the stages getting bigger even in 2006-2009.
I've never been to a Rave but I always wanted to. The music is so good, why would anyone need drugs. Thanks.
I love these videos its so fun to look at it from an outside perspective
Thanks so much!
Love the video 😊 it was clear and a good narrative, so it was easy to follow.
i had an assignment about something similar and it seems that teh term "house music" might have gotten its name because of it now was more accessible for everyone to make house music and the need for big expensive studios no longer was required.
All in all great video, hope to see more:)
House music (the term) came from Detroit, where the club DJs played what we now consider "house music". The 'house' part came from "house DJ" or 'resident DJ'... the DJ's that were employed by the club on a longer term basis to perform. Thats why you see "Detroit House Music" describe techno in the 80's.
"Timmy Turner plays GDP at Tomorrowland mainstage, wtf"
Damnit Turner, some of those girls filed lawsuits and you're just broadcasting it to thousands, wtf.
I liked the simplicity of the original parties: an empty place, some audio device, and random people gathering around, with no distractions from each other by some fancy visuals. However the huge visuals nowdays make sense, maybe less drugs consumed, and those visuals are made to imitate what you would see if you used drugs.
Interesting take!
Warehouse parties and bush doofs in the 90's..... Aussie rave scene at its peak...
Would have been skitz
Mid to late 90's New Orleans had a decent rave scene. Rip State Palace.
💪
To me a rave does not have spectacle, maybe some lazers. Its all about the music.
Nice one! In Sydney the rave scene peaked in the early 90s. The 3 keys were good sound system, great music, wonderful crowd. It's really hard to get that third component happening these days, except at more exclusive events. Rave parties grew out of RAT parties in the 80s, RATs organised by mainly the gay community, but very inclusive and wonderful. Many of these people crossed over to raves, so you had older, really friendly, worldly people bringing the love to the rave scene and it was infectious through the early 90s. As they got older and moved out, and the non-gay community came in ever greater numbers to Mardi Gras and Sleazeball over the late 1990s, that easy-going, loving community vibe gave way to something more self-centred. Finally the Olympics came to Sydney in 2000, and that event marked the turning point in the party scene. We had drugs back then, but we were good with them. Now, with drugs more laced and the crowd more and more edgy and self-interested, you have to eke out your party in your own circle. There are some bright patches every now and then, but the party scene in Sydney from the mid-80s to early 90s was a beautiful thing indeed.
I think the Sydney rave scene peaked in the early 2000's.
Well until the infamous "Lads" ruined the entire scene.
HARDCORE will NEVER DIE
I was part of a group of visionaries that brought the underground rave scene to the SW region of the USA back in 1991/2.
King
I remember the email list for that !!Subbed via a university computer in Ireland.
A rave for me is an illegal party, outside or in a squatted building, more often then not playing music that is not played in legal venues.
If a party is in a club, it's just a party in a club and if it's a festival it's just a festival.
Fair call!
People have been taking drugs long before raves and drug culture exists outside of the rave scene. I think it's more of a stigma associated with the rave scene than anything
3:07 That place looks very familiar, and so do the faces xD
great documentary 3:58 looking back one of the first acts to use the spectacle and show aspect was Daft punk Alive 2007 tour.
That's so cool thanks mate
I partied my brains out in the 1990’s.
I’ve had my fun for a lifetime.
good stuff mate :)
I cant imagine living in a time without Defqon.1
Me neither :)
was a raver since 88 and I never heard of it until this video! tuned out all the big noise years ago, stayed underground :)
The sales for Defqon 2024 starts in 2 days, if you‘re interested
Talks about drugs, then next scene goes slendy. He must be the drugs 🎉
I'll never take them but I'll happily hype you up at an event :)
@@slendyshow i look forward to seeing you at knockout. fck yeah!
Thanks for the video, really good topic
Thanks mate!
Looking forward to the next one 🥳👍🏻
Thanks mate!
Damn mate, thats was a surprise, good job.
Thanks mate!
Great retelling with great clips and examples, sub and hope to see more like it :)
Thank you!
Warehouse name is from Milton Keynes in 80's. Huge distribution spot in uk. Recession meant lots of em were empty and no one cared. Same coming again.
Loving the extra facts in the comments cheers mate!
You mean there's a K-hole in this story 😀 Awesome .
Great video!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Love this documentary type of video !
Thank you!
USA hardcore scene is honestly horrible imo. im not a house fan or a techno fan, and dubstep is one of if not the worst genre of all to me, so being at Defqon and seeing everything that happens over in the Europe area makes me super jealous
random note: Timmy Trumpet is absolutely mental for playing GPF mainstage 😭😭
In the 90s, the USA was a reference in progressive house, a heavy scene with Josh Wink
techno was dirty and delirious
Hardcore here in the U.K. is total a different vibe to what they call hardcore on the European continent , the U.K. hardcore is breakbeat with uplifting piano sections with quite a lot of hip hop rap samples in also lots of sampled vocals from old songs ranging from soul to any sort of pop music that was originally around 130 bpm then progressed up to around 150 bpm, in my opinion the u.k. rave scene nailed it and the genre lives on, on the European continent what they called hardcore is techno based and tbh if you listen to it for more that 10 minutes you’re thinking about committing suicide as is just a noise, and what I’ve heard about what they call hardcore over in the USA is more like a heavy metal style of music or is there a style of rave music over there? Anyway that’s my opinion and as a 55 year old who was raving back in the day and without a shadow of a doubt the best days of my life.
@@paulmilner3471 "hardcore" in the US is mostly used to refer to heavy metal, thats true. but the rave scene over here is mostly techno, house, and dubstep at specific areas. not many events do any of the harder styles which im personally a big fan of. so seeing places like the Netherlands and germany and so on get all these insane harder styles festivals and concerts, makes me sad cuz im missing out hard.
This video is sooo much better than i expected when i clicked it!
Thanks for watching!
Rave is wherever cool music and good drugs collide.
Make a video about the tekno movement! Illegal teknivals, and the weekly tekno freeparties in Belgium,NL and france!!
Sounds cool!
Lol, the entire history, nailed it… as the great economist and OG raver, Darwin once said ‘gotta be more than a selecta to survive’
oath
Fireworks gave me the chills
Always
Loved this!
Thank you!
Bravo. Summary was on point.
💕
great vid!
Thank you!
Here before 1 mil. This will blow for sure mate
Make it happen and share with da boiz!
Can you please tell me the ID of 6:20?
btw, very nice but way too short video. I will never forget the 90's and its underground partys ....
The only real raves were illegal, as far as I'm concerned.
so hosting a party there is a break in: fbi open up
but if you earn money from said break in and dont pay taxes: _fbi open up harder_
🤣
Drugs can be found on all festivals in the world and partys... on the dutch festivals u can find a info stand for drugs and not in my country... its better to have that on the festivals and partys so there can be controlled about the quality that the user has...
6:02 this is the brightest hole of all ^^
Secound material from editor (tell me if im wrong) , loving it ! Greetings from Poland !
He's doing a great job ay!
House music 88-92
Then it got a few new identities.
Germany - Tekno
Holland and Belgium - Hardcore (And later "95 Gabber became popular)
England - Acid and Rave
From these flows many styles developed over the years.
In the early years it was Alcohol and weed mostly, when the early XTC became more dominant the styles went harder.
In the UK LSD was also very popular and made the UK and Rave parties go in to a different flow then in the EU.
After a while speed (amphetamine) became popular and that flowed in to, gabber (NL) and Techno (GER)
Later things like, trance, industrial, goa ect derived from all these flows, and nowadays there are many.
The 90's where a second hippy period, "make love, not war" mindset, (The fall of the wall, the end of the cold war)
where dancing as a whole (group) became popular and led to a complete new genre of music and styles.
Without that mindset and those chemicals it would never have become mainstream.
The MSM narrative tried to demonize it, witch only helped it to become more popular.
Because youth are more rebellious by nature and the term "gabber" literally means friend. (A term used in Amsterdam)
Rotterdam = kamaraad, The Hague = Makker, Amsterdam = Gabber. This term became > Gabber House.
House music grew in to (EDM) electronic music and Hardcore grew in to Gabber and all the harder styles that come from that.
Similar things happen in the EU / UK and by the mid 90's everyone was aware of electronic music and the culture(s).
For NL, without The IT, Parkzicht, Multigroove and later Mysteryland and Thunderdome EDM would never grown up like it did.
You can find old video's from above mentioned and see the progression true the years.
In those video's it is hard to find a clean and sober individual that is dancing on the dancefloor.
Early house (Max 120 BPM)
House music (EDM) (120 - 160 BPM)
Hardcore (Max 180 BPM)
Gabber (From 180 BPM)
From hardcore house to gabber house with the same song in 1 -1,5 year

thanks mate!
don't forget about goa! :D that was around as wel in the 90s :)
it all started in ROTTERDAM!!!!
Awesome video!
Happy you included Australia in there ❤
Love that moment at 5:53
Thanks for watching!
Slendy Educational Content poggerz
Gotta teach the next generation
House music get it's name from a dance club in Chicago called "The House".
Will have to dive more into this!
Don't want to be a downer but: old school rave was to go out there where the music actually hit your soul, where nobody can judge you and have a good time, today (thanks to commercializing) you don't even have room of this wannabe attention seeking people, not to say that many of the 'music" is just noise.
The video is good quality, thumbs up.
Epic 🎉 looking for part 2
Thanks mate!
Crazy, I was actually at one of these raves (Chicago, the dancing space girls in phat pants shot).. I recognize a lot of these people. 😂
That’s amazing!
well made vid thanks
No problem 👍
there were lots of djs playing hard stuff in the USA (NY), even though it was awful, and to make it worse, the girls would leave and never come back. Ya I was there
That sucks!
Why wasnt a 3 week long Australian bush doof mentioned ....
true that is a historic thing
From the first word, oh this is Hunglish, and than come the rave=rév 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My first rave was Helter Skelter Progression new years eve 97/98 by 2am I was done lol, RIP crazy flying Brian
Helter Skelters were the best raves in the 90’s, the atmosphere was incredible no matter what room you were in! Miss those days!
Man you should probably include psytrance/goa trance and the very early origins in Goa in the late 70s/early 80s into the story here. It was a parallel movement which mutually influenced and was influenced by the rave scene. Started with hippies in India literally cutting up tapes and meshing them together and playing them at 2 or 3x speed and was arguably the very first example of something akin to a rave. Some of they very coolest festivals are psytrance. Take Boom for example.
Very cool tho, I enjoyed this! Thanks.
Adding to that, Germany had one of the first Goa raves outside of Goa in 1991, it was called Voov
That’s really cool I didn’t know that! Thanks mate
@@robertsharp3238 Ah yeah! That's right.
@@slendyshow Cheers!
NOTHING can beat the 90's!! There weren't those selfie addicted got to take photos every damn second, it was the music, the love and alcohol wasn't a big part of it, thankfully!! Everything was pure or very close to being pure 🤪
@slendyshow you should make a video about the australian rave/electronic music scene
I think I’ll definitely make more of these kind of videos!
You left out happy hardcore - which was huge in the U.K.
it is quite funny how people skip over Hard House as one of the fundamental rave music Genres :)
This is so full of misconceptions! Written by somebody who doesn’t understand the scene at all especially through the 90’s and 00’s
Feel free to explain the gaps then rather than criticise! We are very open to feedback
3:22 average Rave lmao
certified banger at 1:18 amazing tune
trespassed xaeros box is the id for anyone needing it
ty!
Return to tradition
reject modernity
Amazing video!
One correction though. Just says Netherlands, instead of Europe. Almost everything you showed from Europe was actually Netherlands haha. Gotta stay raving people :)
Thanks for the info!
@@slendyshow no problem mate
Geweldig!
Did you end up making a video about the role that drugs play in rave culture? Would love to see this.
It comes out v soon!
The "because Americans are soft" part I really wish wasn't true, but I saw a Reddit argument about it quite recently and got depressed
Wow actually banging video
thanks mate!
that was fun! saucer eyed lunacy will never die!
🫡
Back in the days it was for the love of the music, today most people attend raves just so they can say they have been there
The love of the music remains strong - it is just different now
I will admit I went to a number of raves in 1995 and all I ever heard was, you are too late, the best ones happened years ago 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Seems to be a perpetual thing people say
1990: rave
2020: “rave”
Fair
Liked your perspective.
appreciate you having a watch!
ok, bit of confusion here and in comments. Although there were dance clubs all over the world previously, the UK invented the ecstasy fuelled underground Rave in early 88, and the large scale Raves (1000 - 30,000 people) started appearing in 89. People from all over the world read about or experienced this massively popular scene in the UK, and the term 'Rave' started being used internationally to describe big dance music parties. Between 89 and 92 the UK had multiple giant raves happening most weekends of the summer months. Many had thousands of people attending. The government stamped down on the scene and it eventually switched over to the traditional music festival format in the mid 90's. The modern EDM festival carries on this format.
I don't think many today appreciate just how underground and subversive the origins of the Rave scene were in the UK. It was literally a total rejection by tens of thousands of people of the contemporary commercial music and aggressive drinking and fighting nightlife culture that was pervasive in town centres at the time. For over a decade, the Rave scene was a complete hidden underworld populated by those 'in the know' who didn't talk about (and frankly would struggle to explain) their weekend exploits with 'outsiders' when they went back to work, and both clubs and larger raves took great care to exclude those with bad attitudes. Even fairly large commercial raves and dance clubs were still a pretty underground scene well into the late 90s. For many this semi-secret and always very friendly and safe culture was a very big part of the appeal that has been somewhat lost in today's fully commercialized scene. Albeit there are still a few underground crews keeping the vibe alive with their secret parties. PLUR is what it's always been about.
@@enemyofthestatewearein7945 I wouldn't say hidden when it came uk youth culture and music media. It was upfront and proudy celibrated. It's was only the older generation and right wing media who attacked it all the time. Pretty much everyone between 16 and 30 I knew went to parties and raves in the early 90s. Many started as metallers or indie kids and ended up ravers. Totally agree the PLUR was authentic and powerful. A whole generation peacefully united for a few years.
Great history. Australia was more Trance than Hardcore
Thanks so much for watching!
America was more Techno than Hardcore..
Not in Sydney, Gabba was massive around 95/96.
@@danielgriff2659 Really depends on the area of the US, Chicago was House/ Domestic HardHouse, Detroit was Techno, LA was Domestic HardHouse/Hardcore, S.F. was Trance/HardTrance, the PNW was Funky Techno/Funky House, Florida was breaks, the mid west was Acid, and NY had it all.
Illegals were the best ever
1:45 That's why you should never charge a mandatory entrance fee but only accept donations. Then it's not a commercial act just "noize pollution" they carry very different punishments! Also always use equipment you have hired (with contract) in most countries they can't permanently confiscate hired equipment.😎
Thank you
You're welcome
well 80s-90s has been brilliant. What a most fantastic time we had in europe. Raves over weeks and all cross european union. Main Rave saturday sunday - wednessday after rave. Warm up until fryday saturday next rave
That’s awesome mate
@4:35 That's Dutch carnaval music turned ravey...
This is full of inaccuracies, please interview the people and artists who were there. I have Acid tracks dating back from 1987 lol.
nice vid but why anyone forget the german hardtekk/schranz thing
That was really nice! Sent me back to my 18-22's where I used to live the free tekno and crustie life.
From teknival to teknival, party to party.
Sleeping wherever I could squat or place a tent. Traveled nearly through all of Europe just by hitchhiking.
Shit was great. I'm 25 now and have my own startup, lol. Time goes by fast!
Looking forward to Part 2, if it will come. Drugs are both heaven and hell, in my years on the street I have seen so many people close to me suffer from alcohol. Some didn't recover, soms refuse to.
Stay safe out there, fellow humans :)
nice one!
I was twenty years before you. Half of the people I know from the tekno scene died as a junkie. I lost 3 former friends only this year. I got sick of the “movement” when fun places eventually get raided with lots of trash people who misuse all the freedom within the movement destroying empty buildings with their psychotic episodes stacking full bottles of piss and piled dog shit. Still loving the teknivals/raves but the surrounding lifestyle is not always as romantic as portrayed imo. Off course there are many great people too, but I couldn’t live like that anymore
@@hoidoei941 I fully understand that! Part of why I am not around many people from the old times anymore too, tbh.
Luckily, none of my old friends died yet. And I guess I won't know if some of them - sadly but inevitably - do.
There is really a lack of spirit and purpose in the movement, it's filled with "live fast, die young, no future" ppl - which is fine, I can respect that, but that's not the people I want to be around with anymore.
Thanks for sharing mate, I hope you're all well and stay safe!
A bit light on tribe/acid and psy trance talk for a video about a rave i feel ;) . Not even mentionning spiral tribe? Still good video
The rabbit hole is deep and maybe we need a part 2?
