Who killed the rave? Late-night dancing falls into global decline

Electronic underground is still well and alive. Sure there is lots of mainstream electronica now but if you look a bit you’ll find tons of new fresh stuff.

Sure you can organise raves in illegal locations but a club can still be about the music and can be a more sustainable “home” for the music.

Sure it’s a lot more expensive but then again everything is - the clubs just need to survive somehow.

Tbh I live in Berlin, where rave culture is most alive probably

Some of the best events I've ever been to have been where a collective has organized the Nth annual event etc. which has taken over an entire location or venue and brought in a really diverse but very friendly crowd with them from all over the place.

But yes, every other day of the week, it's like a restaurant that serves music, the machine must go on, rent gets paid, food in bellies etc.
