I'm 51 and a original old skool raver..at 11 in 83 I was a breakdancer listening to electros. This progressed to house in 86, acid house in around 88, and 90 was at raves, 91/2 free travellers festivals. It was the most beautiful time that now seems quite unbelievable since the government bought laws in around 95 that ended free festivals. I feel privileged to have been a part of a great music and dance scene with extras in the alternative lifestyle I led and still travel along the fringe of. Met people who are sadly gone now. But the greatest thing about the music was that choons.ud heard in 86 were being sampled and remixed years later ad infinitum, that was the best thing , a example , my fave ever track mr.kirk, the amount of different remixes and other tracks that used parts of it.
Born in the early 90s and this is the first genre of music i fell in love with. I remember back in the late 90s and throughout the 2000s people would make fun of me for listening to Rave music. The funny thing is, all those people now listen to this music and some of them are now DJ's!
Born in the 70’s……by late 80’s I was getting into music……the rave scene hit me around 91/92…..I wouldn’t change anything……we grew up in the best decade!
in October 1988 me and 2 mates broke into a disused warehouse in park royal area. We had tickets printed a week prior to the rave. Basically we were aiming for 2 to 300 people. My fuckin jaw hit the floor when realised how many people actually turned up, easily 3000 plus. Cut a long story short my party was called Stomach Bashers and it went down a treat. Ravers loved it so much they begged me to do another one....so i did, in December that same year. Nothing can replicate the early days of acid house, it really was the best days of my life.
We are so lucky to have experienced the musical revolution of the 80’s and 90’s. I will never forget it and wish there was a time machine to go back, even just for a weekend. Feel so sorry for young people missing out on “their” time.
No. They fear segregation. What the elites want is a NWO. No boarders or countries. They introduced LSD and drugs to the masses to dumb down and pacify.
Yep. That's why they don't care about pubs and clubs closing. They like communication to be through social media where it can be controlled and monitored.
Glad this is still happening today.I have been raving since 1988 and am still travelling round the world going to clubs and party’s I will never stop,I just can’t it is ingrained in to my soul.
Remember saying to my friend in 1990 after a night out that we would still be listening to these tunes when we retire because they are classics 🤣🤣🤣 still going strong 💪 💊 🕊️ and still going raving 👌 bass bins are turned up to 11 in the Lexus when picking the kids up🙌
that's a bit harsh. lived it,loved it, survived it, thrived it. The whole scene was massively groundbreaking in social inclusion. You could quite easily walk through a festival or club and get to be besties with either the son of the lord of the manor or some downtrodden kid from the roughest council estate in the country. It didn't matter, you all had an equal passion for the music,and you were all equal under the lights and lasers!!!!
I was at that sunrise party that was alluded to in this video, myself and 4 others in a red vauxhall chevette knew about this party weeks before it happened, the rumours of a big sunrise were rife in the scene and we all eagerly waited for it to drop, and by heck did it drop, one of the best all nighters I ever went to. Oddly enough, this easter bank holiday, I went to an illegal rave last night (Saturday), not too far from me in my corner of Norfolk, though seeing all the kids all ketted up and moshing is proper weird, there is a sense of unity there but it is a strange one at that, everyone seems rather detached from it all these days, however the DJs were absolutely smashing it with the tunes, everything from old school breaks to raggatek. I am old, so I didn't stay all night long 😃
Don't appreciate a 19 year old commenting about anything they were not around to witness first hand. Black or white (and back then it was much more along those lines, we did have a massive Asian population too), at the time we danced and worked with each other far more transparently than anything that goes on today. Someone, somewhere has an agenda to keep these partisan lines going. We tried to get rid of them then - they are still here.
No I don’t think so maybe you were just in bubble and just want to ignore the contribution of black creativity that’s all it’s saying. You could learn a thing or too!
this shows that there is actually nothing for young people today, because they are looking back to a time in music from before they were born shame really but at the same time im 53 now and loved raving in the 80s
A lot has changed societally and raving will never be the same for our generation as it was in the late 80's/90's, but there's so much exciting innovation in the global dance music community! The music only keeps on getting better and more diverse, and the technology that enables it only keeps getting more accessible to the average person.
You sound your age bro. The rave scene is still happening. NYC has a great scene. During the pandemic I went to three illegals. Before the pandemic and currently. There is plenty of legal and illegal warehouse raves
@@erickpinto8547 haaaa.....30 years too late mate kids should have set the generation gap in music at least twice in that time but no.....they are still doing what we did 30 years ago
@@erickpinto8547 no, NYC sucks in terms of music. West Coast is a bit better, but still there's an abyss between US and UK/Europe. America doesn't have this history and culture.
Nearly 50 now and love the new house inspired dance stuff coming out! Instantly reliving my youth in the early 90s - thanks guys! And the fashions too of course 👍
Put my first two EP's out in '92 and '93, an S950, a U20, Juno 106 and an Ensoniq something, controlled by a Roland MC50 mkII - all through a Mackie 1202 - with no FX (we added when we went into a proper studio for full mixdown then master). They go for £70+ a piece on Discogs nowadays.
Make DJ, Club & Rave subculture great again. By bringing it back away from the plastic corporate mainstream and returning back to it's underground, analog, turntablist roots. From the 1970's - mid 2000's.
I remember taking my acid tapes to Ibiza and the hotel DJ called Stanley from Holland hadn’t heard nothing like it and he loved it 😂 I miss those days.
Just turned 50. Left a large part of my brain in the Underground at Sterns. Talked for hours about changing the world back in those days. All I know this is not the World I wanted.
Dj Easgroove, MC Ribbs, Robbie Dee - we used to have house parties in Scotland listening to Easygroove tapes. Never made it to Obsession but heard him at Helter-skelter. Still listen to them now and great to hear he is still Djing. Salute Dj Easygroove
I've got socks older than some of the people telling me about the rave culture I grew up in. Far too young to have been there, but hey this is Amazon making money out of my youth culture.
Most influential clubs in London 1987: Freds, Kiss FM parties, Delerium II, Wetworld, Witchworld, Performance, City of Angels, Daisy Chain, The Snog, Go Global, Intensive care, Danceterium, Transatlantic, Louis Lapaz Syncho Go Go, Casablanca, Doo in the park, Natural History Museum. By 1988 the leading clubs were: Delerium III, Carwash, Bed, Myami, Pansy, Love, Discoteque, Donna, God's Disco, MFI, Spectrum, Future, The Base, Beautiful Contradictions, Trip, Shoom 1 & 2, Babylon, L'Homme, Joy, Trax, Amen, Slaughterhouse. The most well known rave/ trance club nights were: Shoom, Spectrum & Trip. This was just the tip of a massive clubbing iceberg. Then there was all the (illegal) raves.... it really was boom time in the club world.
Youth man, you gotta do this for yourselves. You have to risk this all for the liberties of your lives. If you hide away and fear the powers that be they will know they've won. My generation mocked the government and she was formidable, she hated ANYTHING that stood for liberty and freedom for youth, we made sure she knew full well if she tried to shut us down we'd happily ALL go to jail, ALL of us one by one, we didn't care, maybe because we had less to lose but we had all to gain. power concedes nothing without a demand. it never did and it never will, RAVE ON RAVE ON. Do it regardless.
Elo Nigel, I used to live in Tenerife in '93 and '94 and I bought a drink in Rah-Rahs and u were standing next to me at the bar....👍😁😁😁, ....that's my claim to fame....😂😂😂💯💯🤘🤘🤘🏴🏴🏴, its a true story
tbh, if i had been offered an opportunity to play out at some illegal party over here in germany i would've done it. not out of disrespect or disregard of the pandemic situation but straight out of financial necessities... ppl gotta live and if you're a creative person / artists / freelancer cut off from your primary stream of income without government support you gotta make ends meet. period.
Yeah MOS was not really considered raving… Ministry was known as a ‘super club’. (Owned by James Palumbo - establishment - hardly epitome of outside the ‘system’). That was the issue with some of these clubs, the establishment owned them! Tried to recreate a fake philosophy. In fact I would say independent festivals today are closer to the rave tenet than clubs.
I'd say Drum and Bass is hugely underrated. EDM is this kind of fad I feel like some big artists are EDM/Mainstage based. But I'd say that after Tech House, Drum and Bass is the biggest genre of dance music, followed by Melodic House and Techno, House and Techno (Peak Time/Driving)
I agree, basically she’s a racist in reality and trying cause 💩 by saying raves were race based, this is why the world is like it is because of people like her....
@@ginamoses2279 or maybe you dont know that b4 raving i listened to ragga and went to a blues every week. Yea judging a white person of racial biindness when you dont know what the fk your talking about!! What card is next??
music brings people together, sherelle? 1:14 well, sherelle makes it about race 16:11. nobody in their right mind believes there was no black contribution, or is dumb enough to discount it. electronic music is actually not of black origin though. people like luigi russolo weren't black. stop making everything about race. everybody contributed. or else it would have been djembes and west african dance exclusively.
I agree, why has she made it a race thing..I've never heard one person discredit the black contribution to the dance music scene. It would be nice to know where she has them facts from. I would say the vast majority of people don't see colour within the history of dance music but just a wave of togetherness all contributing thier piece.. She also needs to look back at the history of "one of her genres", jungle didn't get politicised because of colour, it was the gangland culture and trouble in the mid 90s that it started attracting that was the problem..
@@damiencrowe6098 no you need to reevaluate your history and give credit where is due! Black creativity needs to be recognised and respected. It has techno roots from black America Detroit to be specific get your facts straight
@@ginamoses2279 can you tell me what facts I need to get straight? I've not once mentioned who started what or this came from there etc... As long as people are enjoying making, dancing, listening to it, does it really matter??
Same question. I thought it was Overmono - BMW track, but no. I checked the soundtrack on Amazon music - this tune is not there. Could be their original score.
Rave culture is still there, it’s just regulated now. I turned 18 in 2007, my older siblings, brother (15 years older than me) and Sister (10 years older than me) combined raved in the 90’s and early 00’s, ultimately I was brought up listening to that music and loved it. When I finally turned 18 in 2007, I went to Cream in Liverpool and I’ve done countless clubs, festivals and events in the UK and abroad since. The rave culture is there and always has been but instead of it being “illegal” it’s held in licensed venues and sites, rave culture is not a time relevant thing, it’s in our DNA, you either love to rave or you don’t, a huge part of that comes down to musical preference and personality, it’s a way of life, it’s an identity, it’s not something you choose, it just happens, it sucks you in and even if you get older and stop attending events, it will always be part of your make up and no doubt played a huge role in shaping you into the person you are. It may be a different time and a different way of doing things but I assure you, if you went to Creamfields now the clothing may be different, people may have phones and be taking pictures and vids but the fundamental components of a rave atmosphere experienced at Creamfields in 1998 are still there at Creamfields now. The love for the music, love for the DJs, love for the people, being united as one with a crowd of people in a particular moment in time, being next to a complete stranger who in that moment it’s like they’re your best mate and you’ve known them for years, hi 5ing random people, dancing with random people, hugging and loving random people, random people who together in that moment have so much in common, this being one of many moments that will be etched in your mind forever and shape who you are as person. The rave culture is still there, it never went away, and it will never go away. The rave for me was life defining, none of my mates growing up were into electronic music and raves, I went to Ibiza in 2009 for the first time then for years kept floating the idea of going back but it never happened. January 2018 I came out of a relationship and decided to book flights to Ibiza on my own for 5 nights, 2 weeks later ended up creating/joining a Whatsapp group of solo ravers who were going to Creamfields alone that year, it was the best year of my life. Ibiza, raved met so many beautiful people in those 5 days that have become friends for life and the Whatsapp Group is still going strong, together we’ve done raves up and down the UK and in Europe (Amsterdam, Utrecht and Hungary). We all get on likes brothers and sisters I’d trust any of them with my life, even though 4 years ago I’d never heard of, met or spoken to any of them. That is the rave culture… We may be in different times, with different clothes and different technologies but ultimately the emotion and bond, love for the music and escapism is exactly the same now as it was in 1993.
@@Pringy raved starting same time as you but in US. Definitely got to experience counter culture illegal raves here as well as licensed legal stuff. The underground never died here its way less now but it still there. All that being said I am dieing to come to Europe and experience the things the different scenes have to offer. Your relation of your experiences mirror how it changed myself. Your story is fantastic to hear thanks for sharing! Cheers!
Great documentary however why does have to be a “black “ thing according to the black girl ? This scene was colourless absolutely no divide just tribal love. Stop dividing please
The fact that the 80s house music made by black men changed a nation shouldn't go unnoticed. A simple shout out to the djs and a picture of Marshall jefferson who alone perfected a sound that still gets played today just go listen to drake and beyonces new album. His sound never died.
Mate they're all Tories when money to be made even your hard left leaning will always want to make a profit See That's what ruined raves politics got involved
DJ at 16mins got it so spot on with government view on "arts". They're still stuck in a timewarp where it's all art galleries and opera. not to say our technoheads can't make some magic out of that genre.they full on can. with all the trauma of recent,and current,world events, we are certainly due another peace movement. the hippies were lucky in the 1960's, the ravers were lucky in the 1990s, we're still waiting for the sound of the 2020s.
that's got me thinking.....are we due chatGPT VJ sessions? mixing with audio is good, a decent VJ at a festival is also good if they blend well. Now what if we meld the two????????
I'm a DJ based in NYC and I've been working on building a community called the Nocturnal Creature Society. If you share our love for rave culture and hearing people talk about the life style gives you goosebumps, we'd love for you to check us out! Our goal is to spread our passion worldwide, and we're confident that with your help, we can make it happen. So why not join the NCS community today? NCS NCS NCS
Nice documentary, not that accurate in places e.g. the claim that electronic music was invented by black people and is therefore music of black origin. That could be said about house music but not the entire genre of electronic music
@@ElectronicMusicUnderground I think you find people already do give praise to those who have contributed to genre. We just don’t credit black artists enough in the house music genre.
@@ElectronicMusicUnderground it wasn’t like this before though. We had to tell Tv producers, journalists and historians to give the accurate non-biased overview of House music. Rave music is popular with Europeans but a lot of Europeans don’t know that a lot of the music has black origins. It just annoys me when documentaries highlight this historical fact, there is someone moaning that says not “everything is about race” you have to question why does it bother you so much when mentioned 🤷🏾♀️
Too much nostalgia. The govt will use the laws to ban gatherings, large derelict venues will be bought and converted to parking and malls. The music will be there but not delivered in large venues. Any civil unrest will be subdued due to fear culture. Anyone got other ideas? I tell you what get the money into the right hands. I think I know a way. Legally.
Why change the system? Just easily subvert it. Look up counter-economics and read the new libertarian manifesto and agorist premire by samuel edward konkin III and soviergn individual by james dale davidson.

My generation mocked the government and she was formidable, she hated ANYTHING that stood for liberty and freedom for youth, we made sure she knew full well if she tried to shut us down we'd happily ALL go to jail, ALL of us one by one, we didn't care, maybe because we had less to lose but we had all to gain. power concedes nothing without a demand. it never did and it never will, RAVE ON RAVE ON. Do it regardless.
Elo Nigel, I used to live in Tenerife in '93 and '94 and I bought a drink in Rah-Rahs and u were standing next to me at the bar....👍😁😁😁, ....that's my claim to fame....😂😂😂💯💯🤘🤘🤘🏴🏴🏴, its a true story
I'm still in the 90's lol

What its not the 90s anymore?? Whoa!!
tbh, if i had been offered an opportunity to play out at some illegal party over here in germany i would've done it. not out of disrespect or disregard of the pandemic situation but straight out of financial necessities... ppl gotta live and if you're a creative person / artists / freelancer cut off from your primary stream of income without government support you gotta make ends meet. period.
UK is everything.
Big ups Amazon for the D&B chapter
Went to MOS, several times, back in the day; it was like going to M&S
Yeah MOS was not really considered raving… Ministry was known as a ‘super club’. (Owned by James Palumbo - establishment - hardly epitome of outside the ‘system’). That was the issue with some of these clubs, the establishment owned them! Tried to recreate a fake philosophy. In fact I would say independent festivals today are closer to the rave tenet than clubs.
I'd say Drum and Bass is hugely underrated. EDM is this kind of fad I feel like some big artists are EDM/Mainstage based. But I'd say that after Tech House, Drum and Bass is the biggest genre of dance music, followed by Melodic House and Techno, House and Techno (Peak Time/Driving)
I loved the drum and bass scene I remember going raving every weekend from 97 to 2003
Wow from 14.49 minutes in the tune sounds so much like the start up track from Evil eddies essential mix Radio 1 , 19 -2-1995😊🙂
North East Rave Scene - 100% Cant Beat It - Makina 👊🏻
The track at 6:19 is actually real good. Can anyone identify it please?
I'm 48, got a digital piano in my shed and I play alone to house music daily 😊 I break up the week by having a Northern Soul Sunday ✌️
What's.the name of the track that plays @3:00?
Orbital - Chime
This documentary portraits a plastic version of the real deal.
I asked Siri and was told Caesia -Toki Foku you got to love the music really took us on a journey togetherness peace and love when we come together 🙏
Sorry but the quote by that young lady is ridiculous raving has never been race based. Black white all under one roof. Tell she wasnt there in the 90s
I thought the same. The raves were a level field for everyone
I agree, basically she’s a racist in reality and trying cause 💩 by saying raves were race based, this is why the world is like it is because of people like her....
Or maybe you were just in a bubble back then and didn’t really fully appreciate the fruits of black creativity
@@ginamoses2279 or maybe you dont know that b4 raving i listened to ragga and went to a blues every week.
Yea judging a white person of racial biindness when you dont know what the fk your talking about!! What card is next??

Both lovely and sad watching this.
16:00 minutes in, what’s the track ID 🔥???
Joe smooth - promised land
music brings people together, sherelle? 1:14 well, sherelle makes it about race 16:11. nobody in their right mind believes there was no black contribution, or is dumb enough to discount it. electronic music is actually not of black origin though. people like luigi russolo weren't black. stop making everything about race. everybody contributed. or else it would have been djembes and west african dance exclusively.
I agree, why has she made it a race thing..I've never heard one person discredit the black contribution to the dance music scene. It would be nice to know where she has them facts from. I would say the vast majority of people don't see colour within the history of dance music but just a wave of togetherness all contributing thier piece..
She also needs to look back at the history of "one of her genres", jungle didn't get politicised because of colour, it was the gangland culture and trouble in the mid 90s that it started attracting that was the problem..
rave music in the UK is of black origin it wouldn’t even exist without the influence of Black people, african American Chicago house
@@damiencrowe6098 no you need to reevaluate your history and give credit where is due! Black creativity needs to be recognised and respected. It has techno roots from black America Detroit to be specific get your facts straight
@@damiencrowe6098 “gangland culture” you mean racist police officers targeting the black British community
@@ginamoses2279 can you tell me what facts I need to get straight?
I've not once mentioned who started what or this came from there etc...
As long as people are enjoying making, dancing, listening to it, does it really matter??
Wow Farley on here ....😀😀😀
Una época Increíble, simplemente increíble 😁😁😁
Great doc
can anyone ID the tune at 24 minutes. Shazam is not cutting it
Same question. I thought it was Overmono - BMW track, but no. I checked the soundtrack on Amazon music - this tune is not there. Could be their original score.
Shazam check out Evil Eddie Richards essential mix Radio 1 -19-02-1995
I would love to see rave culture reborn
Rave culture is still there, it’s just regulated now. I turned 18 in 2007, my older siblings, brother (15 years older than me) and Sister (10 years older than me) combined raved in the 90’s and early 00’s, ultimately I was brought up listening to that music and loved it. When I finally turned 18 in 2007, I went to Cream in Liverpool and I’ve done countless clubs, festivals and events in the UK and abroad since.
The rave culture is there and always has been but instead of it being “illegal” it’s held in licensed venues and sites, rave culture is not a time relevant thing, it’s in our DNA, you either love to rave or you don’t, a huge part of that comes down to musical preference and personality, it’s a way of life, it’s an identity, it’s not something you choose, it just happens, it sucks you in and even if you get older and stop attending events, it will always be part of your make up and no doubt played a huge role in shaping you into the person you are.
It may be a different time and a different way of doing things but I assure you, if you went to Creamfields now the clothing may be different, people may have phones and be taking pictures and vids but the fundamental components of a rave atmosphere experienced at Creamfields in 1998 are still there at Creamfields now.
The love for the music, love for the DJs, love for the people, being united as one with a crowd of people in a particular moment in time, being next to a complete stranger who in that moment it’s like they’re your best mate and you’ve known them for years, hi 5ing random people, dancing with random people, hugging and loving random people, random people who together in that moment have so much in common, this being one of many moments that will be etched in your mind forever and shape who you are as person.
The rave culture is still there, it never went away, and it will never go away.
The rave for me was life defining, none of my mates growing up were into electronic music and raves, I went to Ibiza in 2009 for the first time then for years kept floating the idea of going back but it never happened.
January 2018 I came out of a relationship and decided to book flights to Ibiza on my own for 5 nights, 2 weeks later ended up creating/joining a Whatsapp group of solo ravers who were going to Creamfields alone that year, it was the best year of my life.
Ibiza, raved met so many beautiful people in those 5 days that have become friends for life and the Whatsapp Group is still going strong, together we’ve done raves up and down the UK and in Europe (Amsterdam, Utrecht and Hungary).
We all get on likes brothers and sisters I’d trust any of them with my life, even though 4 years ago I’d never heard of, met or spoken to any of them.
That is the rave culture… We may be in different times, with different clothes and different technologies but ultimately the emotion and bond, love for the music and escapism is exactly the same now as it was in 1993.
@@Pringy raved starting same time as you but in US. Definitely got to experience counter culture illegal raves here as well as licensed legal stuff. The underground never died here its way less now but it still there. All that being said I am dieing to come to Europe and experience the things the different scenes have to offer. Your relation of your experiences mirror how it changed myself. Your story is fantastic to hear thanks for sharing! Cheers!
I think it will tbh there is a few up and coming djs
Best days of my life bring back the 90s
Lol same im 51 n still moving to jungle,dnb,its in my DNA
Great documentary however why does have to be a “black “ thing according to the black girl ? This scene was colourless absolutely no divide just tribal love. Stop dividing please
Track id at 24 min? Shazam not picking it up
Beautiful perspective :)
The fact that the 80s house music made by black men changed a nation shouldn't go unnoticed. A simple shout out to the djs and a picture of Marshall jefferson who alone perfected a sound that still gets played today just go listen to drake and beyonces new album. His sound never died.
colour has nothing to do with it ,,,, get over it
Tories mate owned ministry of sound
Mate they're all Tories when money to be made even your hard left leaning will always want to make a profit
See
That's what ruined raves politics got involved
What’s name of rave songs on this video
I feel so bad for everyone growing up in 2010-11 but things will get better, parties and raves will start again. Pain creates great things ! 4 sure.
wrong years mate
ID of minute 9:00?
Fun doc. The rave scene is very addictive
I was 17 in 1989 great times.
No social media no phone’s or internet.
We felt free, no dystopian 1984 world like today.
Raving since 92
DJ at 16mins got it so spot on with government view on "arts".
They're still stuck in a timewarp where it's all art galleries and opera.
not to say our technoheads can't make some magic out of that genre.they full on can.
with all the trauma of recent,and current,world events, we are certainly due another peace movement.
the hippies were lucky in the 1960's, the ravers were lucky in the 1990s, we're still waiting for the sound of the 2020s.
that's got me thinking.....are we due chatGPT VJ sessions?
mixing with audio is good, a decent VJ at a festival is also good if they blend well.
Now what if we meld the two????????
Remember Kidz,,Rave is not Political
Yes! It's anti-political

Weird doc. Why are there people in it born after the rave scene making, often totally wrong, comments about what went down 87 to 95?
Lekker hakkkuuuhhhh!!!
They making black women look crazy in that one scene 😳
Some of these ‘ravers’ never actually went to one…

@@domtekos7761 i alaways expect it😂

Nice documentary, not that accurate in places e.g. the claim that electronic music was invented by black people and is therefore music of black origin. That could be said about house music but not the entire genre of electronic music
Well actually is it electronic music has techno house roots from Detroit!
@@ginamoses2279 Which in turn was influenced by white dudes from germany, music doesn't have a race!
@@ElectronicMusicUnderground I think you find people already do give praise to those who have contributed to genre. We just don’t credit black artists enough in the house music genre.
@@adaxrvt it doesn’t have a race but it’s important to give credit to where it started.
@@ElectronicMusicUnderground it wasn’t like this before though. We had to tell Tv producers, journalists and historians to give the accurate non-biased overview of House music. Rave music is popular with Europeans but a lot of Europeans don’t know that a lot of the music has black origins. It just annoys me when documentaries highlight this historical fact, there is someone moaning that says not “everything is about race” you have to question why does it bother you so much when mentioned 🤷🏾♀️
Too much nostalgia. The govt will use the laws to ban gatherings, large derelict venues will be bought and converted to parking and malls. The music will be there but not delivered in large venues. Any civil unrest will be subdued due to fear culture. Anyone got other ideas? I tell you what get the money into the right hands. I think I know a way. Legally.
Why change the system? Just easily subvert it. Look up counter-economics and read the new libertarian manifesto and agorist premire by samuel edward konkin III and soviergn individual by james dale davidson.
