A comment on Who killed the rave? Late-night dancing falls into global decline. Parent comment
Raves died in the 90s for a few reasons.
1. They made dancing illegal (look it up before rage comments).
2. Corporate sponsors moved in.
3. Glow sticks / candy ravers
4. Drugs
5. Police tactics and not being able to be paid off by promoters.
6. The internet (remember map points and info lines?)
7. Models, actresses, famous types going and demanding special service / VIP.
8. DJ as GOD sick gross
9. OG promoters cashing out and not caring. Think Drop Bass and Daft Punk (google it).
10. Techno mainstream / a la hip hop. (DRUGS/S&M)
