God I feel old. You say 'golden age' and I'm about Chemical Brother, Fatboy Slim, Basement Jaxx, Prodigy, Apollo 440, Moby, Pitchshifter...gah the 90's was a long time ago.
I feel so old at almost 37 I stopped listening to any other genre of music but country in 2008 when I moved in with my future husband lol I didn't stop hearing these kinds of songs in movies or tv but I stopped listening to other radio stations but country then! So I'm so behind that I just feel so old!
Love those groups you mentioned but I just knew what type of music they would come up with the EDM title. Disappointed but not really surprised honestly. 😁
I'm so glad I'm 52 years old. I got to experience the birth of progressive house music in the late 90s. These songs owe their existence to the artists of that time period.
I remember my friend calling me about Avicii's death and we spend the whole day listening to avicii celebrating him . EDM was the thing back in the day.
The late 1990's and early 2000's was the golden age of EDM. There was DJ Tiesto, Fatboy Slim, Moby, Afrojack, Daft Punk, Eiffel 65, Robert Miles, Paul Oakenfold, and so many others that were huge on the charts. The 2010's were a mini-revival of EDM, but it was stylistically different than the late 1990's and 2000's.
@@esaedvik no. Don’t ever ever disrespect real edm like that ever again or I will find you and punish you with the hugs and kisses you never got as a child.
I would say the timeframe you picked as the "golden era" more perfectly captures the time period where EDM very quickly became mainstream and also very quickly faded out of the mainstream, personally
80's and 90's, when rave was actually techno (mostly without lyrics), D&B, gabber, acid beats, ... and when you're tired out you go to the lounge to relax to some house.
This is definitely not the golden age of edm. That was 90s/2000s. I was expecting Above & Beyond, Alice DJ, Tiesto, IIO/Nadia Ali, Cascada, ATC, Fragma, Eclipse, Gemini, Darude, DJ Sammy, Grove Coverage, Basshunter, etc…
There's something so cool about watching people just be people; excited to listen to songs from when they were growing up. So fun to watch everyone enjoy themselves and vibe along with them!
"Golden Age of EDM" No Tiesto No DJ Jean No DJ Icey No Armand Van Helden No DeadMau5 Absolutely insane that someone would call this the Golden Age lmao
This was not the golden age...this is when edm became mainstream. I'm not taking away that these are still good songs, but I'm glad i got to experience the true golden age in the plur age 💜🙏 I don't care what people think, I'll be the entitled rave snob 👋 sooo many artists and songs that deserved to be on here and not just the radio hit artists and overhyped songs...

For those who were born in 90's, surely will agree that the best EDM is medio 2008-2015. Armin Van Buuren, Tiesto, Avicii, Kygo, Oliver Heldens, Martin Solveig, Hardwell and KSHMR.
100% as much as artists like Skrillex and Martin Garrix held notoriety for helping popularize the genre when it was still somewhat "unknown" the names I expected to see here were Hardwell,Tiesto,Benny Benassi,Avicii,Marshmello,Deadmau5,Skrux,Felxprod,Pegboard Nerds,Tut Tut Child,Noisia,etc (way to many to list). There are so many great artists from 2008-15 or to present day that I personally am not sure we have even hit EDM's golden era. EDM is going to continue to evolve.
Mid 90s-early 2000s was the golden age. It wasn’t nearly as commercial and had a great underground scene. 2010 plus there’s some amazing production but the events and scene are mostly just meh big festivals.
Americans - "Golden Age of EDM 2010-2015" The Rest of World - "Well no-one other than you calls it EDM and you got the 'Golden Age' wrong by about 20 to 25 years but, well, it IS the React channel after all"
Daft Punk got me into EDM, they were the originals for me and the original masked musicians. I told my friend that they started in the 90s and she goes I didn’t know they were that old 😂
@@Lapislazuli_36this video is correct in a way, it’s the golden era for mainstream EDM, the 2010s is where this type started getting more popular. I kind of wish they would of included all eras of EDM from 70s-2010s because each era had their golden age
EDM's golden years.... and the video starts with Swedish House Mafia who were formed about 20 years after the actual golden age of EDM or 'dance music' as the entire world called it back then, in 1989-1990
THIS! Just because US EDM fans didn't crawl from under a rock in droves before 2010, it doesn't mean that there weren't hundreds of thousands of people raving in Berlin at the Loveparade from 1989 'til 2006, equally so at the Mayday (since 1991) and Nature One (since 1995), to name a few.
Yeah, when you think many EDM songs today got their base rhytms from 80-90s EDM tracks, it’s fair to say that it’s not “golden era” but “most popular era” since many non-EDM listeners were vibing with these million streamed songs on digital and radio
I feel like most people on the comments are being misled by the title, or the description. The title of the video is "Adults try not to Rave - EDM's golden era". "Rave" in this sense is referring to the dance, not the music genre. They then picked out EDM hits from the 2010-2015. Now whether or not that was the "golden era" of EDM is always up for debate. My two-cents is that, yes, EDM quickly grew mainstream out of 90's progressive house with artists like Swedish House Mafia, David Guetta and Avicii. And all that started happening around the mid to late 2000's. But as others pointed out, this collection of songs is way to melodic to be considered rave music; at least, according to the early 80s-90s interpretations. If you walked into a rave in the UK or New York City underground back in those days, you'd likely hear stuff like drum and bass, gabber, hard dance, break beat, acid house, or some branches of the trance family. Definitely nothing "pop" about it, which is why it was kept in the underground for so long.
Honestly golden age of EDM were VIXA times end of 90s to mid 2000s and djs like Tiesto, Benny Benassi, paffendorf, scooter, ATB, basshunter... White gloves, whistles, dark glasses and lockjaw 😂
"It's a song that an eight-year-old and a 38-year-old can both vibe to, and that's a good song." I don't think he knows just how profound this statement is. My man's found one part of the secret of life. Respect.
For those who don't know or remember from the video, this commenter is referring to reactor Noah(paired with Brian) speaking about the song "Heroes(We Could Be)" by Alesso featuring Tove Lo. Btw, I have that song on my spotify playlist library. I loved it when the song was first played on the radio in 2015, becoming one of that year's radio earworms(song that is played so much that it's difficult to turn to a radio station & not hear it played within an hour of any given day) & 8 years later, I still love that song.
Golden era for Americans perhaps...the real golden age of HOUSE music is the 80's/90's and early 00's. Try reacting to some island classics or euro trance...then experience some real euphoria! enjoyed the vid though.
Okay... I'm going to argue about this being the Golden Age. Was there a lot of great music during this period? Yes. But the Golden Age of Rave was the late 90's early 2000's. You know, like, when the term rave became a thing. I'm talking Chemical Brothers, Crystal Method, Moby, Darude, The Prodigy, early Daft Punk... and so, so, so many more.
I’m only 25, but this was not the “golden age” of EDM, I think that would be late 90’s/ early 00’s this was just the point where it became popular and more broadly enjoyed. These are definitely songs I connect more with, but less iconic and influential I think.
Oh for sure! The original clubhouse, underground dance and EDM scene was for sure the 90’s and the first few years of the 2000’s. I like to think the 2010’s was simply when it became mainstream after a 10-12 year hiatus.
Agreed I am same age I think this was the emergence of “big room” and “anthems” when edm broke into mainstream. Definitely not golden age, but very popular!
The golden age of EDM is 2010-2015? Umm ... I think you got that wrong guys. By any metric the "golden age" was 1995 to about 2005. After that EDM began to morph into other things. "Planet of the Bass" parodies that true golden era.
@@schauschau2552They don’t mean it as “the best years” it’s just when it was the most popular, and it was arguably the most popular in 2009-2015 as every other big song was EDM influenced
EDM "fans" are some of the worst gatekeepers, I swear to god. Progressive house crossed over into the mainstream for a little bit. What's so bad about that? If anything, it's a good thing for EDM.
Golden age of EDM, well only in the USA is that the golden era, would say Europe has been in the Golden Era of EDM since the 90's and it is still in the Golden era to this day. There will be of course a few Americans who know about Europe's massive head start of EDM of course.
as a hardcore metal guy, I couldn't agree more about this golden era of EDM. man those song slap hard, especially live ! seen Skrillex twice + Jack Ü and every time, shit hit the fan hard !
The American golden age of EDM was 2010-2015??? Really????? I feel so so sorry for you guys.... The birth of EDM was around 1995 and you guys missed the best part of it!
I was Djing at the real golden era. Tiësto, Cosmic Gate, Paul Oakenfold, Armin Van Buuren, Chicane, Faithless, Etc. The ones on this video are just pop music. Justin Bieber EDM? Come on...
these are like mainstream super light EDM, like EDM for grandpas that would break bones if they heard a real bass....these light ones are for the wannabees who never been to a real rave
2010 to 2015? Golden era of EDM? Seriously? Guys, do your homework! You got to at least go back a decade. 1995 to 2005 were the golden years of Trance and EDM.
But if they're talking about popular EDM then I think 2010‐15 is about right where it peaked in popularity. It was really the first time this type of music was being played on the radio. Anything earlier would be considered underground.
@@devinmay3038 Perhaps in the US. But US got very late to EDM compared to Europe and the rest of the world. And even so, even the legendary performance of Daft Punk in Coachella was back in 2006.
Had zero reaching for the lazers over here ... Imma go play the Gatecrasher Black album.... get some bangers echoing around in here. Might even strobe the ceiling lights :D
Golden era of EDM and not a single attempt to even include a track from the 90s?! It's not hard not to rave when there's no actual rave music being played.
1. Only Americans call it "EDM", everyone else just calls it "dance music" 2. America was late to the dance music party. Raves took off in Europe in the late 80s/early 90s.
“Everyone else” why does it even matter? What’s even the point of mentioning that if clearly this is a video where I’m assuming all of the people in it are American, therefore they are using the term EDM because that is the term to use in America.
@@mossburries Because this video is pure cringe. Chart dance music is considered "rave"? LMAO Only in America I guess. It would be like seeing a UK video about "gangsta rap" featuring Justin Bieber and Katy Perry.
I remember when Americans started calling it EDM and I was like “huh? Do you mean dance music?”. It was always dance music in Australia (or “Ministry of Sound” music lol). I know words evolve but this song list was not it.
I'm turning 30 this year and this is considered old? When I think the "golden age" of rave trance music I'm thinking 90s. Half of this stuff I consider pop
I agree 100% even in my times was like the end of gold entering the silver era in the 2000's, coming from underground raves to things like Freaknight in Seattle's biggest raves in Halloween times by like 2005. when Paul Van Dyk and Tiesto ruled most main stages with drum n' bass and happy hardcore on the other stages, liquid dancing and popping all over
"Sandstorm" by Darude or "Dance with the Devil" by 6th Gate were my two top EDM jams. But that was back in 2000 & 2001 when I was in my early to mid 20's and would go to raves and rolling on ecstasy.
The luigi death stare or the "really dude" that they gave Gina was priceless. That was me and I never listened to this song fully until after I graduated highschool in 2020 and the first time i heard clarity was 2014
Most people do not refer to EDM as a genre. It's an umbrella term. People mostly talk about individual styles when describing music, such as DnB, or Techno. Aside from that, most of these songs were more towards the pop music feel, which is not indicative of it being a golden era. I would argue the 00s was the golden era (L'Amour Toujours by Gigi D'Agostino came out in '00, just saying). Lastly, raves are usually play very distinct genres of electronic music, none of which were in the video. Raves were also notorious for its drug use. Then again, this video seems to be more tailored towards the US audience, and they have a very different perspective on electronic music, so this is probably where the differences lie.
God I feel old. You say 'golden age' and I'm about Chemical Brother, Fatboy Slim, Basement Jaxx, Prodigy, Apollo 440, Moby, Pitchshifter...gah the 90's was a long time ago.
Probably more defined as Techno for some. EDM became the term to define the mainstream electronic music that was catching steam in 2010s
I feel so old at almost 37 I stopped listening to any other genre of music but country in 2008 when I moved in with my future husband lol I didn't stop hearing these kinds of songs in movies or tv but I stopped listening to other radio stations but country then!

I haven't heard the term Progressive House in a LONG time. Anyone else remember Witch Doktor? ;)
Facts.
Nick Warren was pumping out progressive house in the early 90's around 92 still does so to this day superstar dj without doubt
Came to say what Izzy said. Not golden age, just what's popular. Us Bassheads are still thriving and living our EDM dreams
"I can't dance to this because I choreographed this"
This is the greatest yet unexpected flex that I've seen in a while.

soo relatable
I'm also an introvert but some how EDM is in my DNA lol

Dont get me wrong these are great songs and definitively classics of EDM. But i dont think anyone here in Europe would call them "rave music"

For those who don't know or remember from the video, this commenter is referring to reactor Noah(paired with Brian) speaking about the song "Heroes(We Could Be)" by Alesso featuring Tove Lo. Btw, I have that song on my spotify playlist library. I loved it when the song was first played on the radio in 2015, becoming one of that year's radio earworms(song that is played so much that it's difficult to turn to a radio station & not hear it played within an hour of any given day) & 8 years later, I still love that song.
golden era of rave music was in europe during the 90's
Golden era for Americans perhaps...the real golden age of HOUSE music is the 80's/90's and early 00's. Try reacting to some island classics or euro trance...then experience some real euphoria! enjoyed the vid though.
Golden age is like from 90s to late 2000s
The Golden Age? What the hell... who compiled the list? A Gen Z? The golden age is from the 90s!
came to say this. where was CeCe Peniston, Robin S, Crystal Waters and so many more bangers. Not one of these songs are true EDM.
Okay... I'm going to argue about this being the Golden Age. Was there a lot of great music during this period? Yes. But the Golden Age of Rave was the late 90's early 2000's. You know, like, when the term rave became a thing. I'm talking Chemical Brothers, Crystal Method, Moby, Darude, The Prodigy, early Daft Punk... and so, so, so many more.
I’m only 25, but this was not the “golden age” of EDM, I think that would be late 90’s/ early 00’s this was just the point where it became popular and more broadly enjoyed. These are definitely songs I connect more with, but less iconic and influential I think.
Oh for sure! The original clubhouse, underground dance and EDM scene was for sure the 90’s and the first few years of the 2000’s. I like to think the 2010’s was simply when it became mainstream after a 10-12 year hiatus.
Agreed I am same age I think this was the emergence of “big room” and “anthems” when edm broke into mainstream. Definitely not golden age, but very popular!
I'm 21 and I know the early 2010s was far from the golden age of electronic music
If this is a golden era, then gold is worth jack
Fully agree. This was not the golden era.... At all
@@christianlessing7256 it was the golden era
This is a Try Not To Rave challenge, but Travis raved to everything we have today😂
The golden age of EDM is 2010-2015? Umm ... I think you got that wrong guys. By any metric the "golden age" was 1995 to about 2005. After that EDM began to morph into other things. "Planet of the Bass" parodies that true golden era.
My thoughts exactly
But Clarity though!!! 🔥🔥🔥
If this was EDM's Golden Era then I must hail from EDM's Prehistoric Age. 😞
i was about to comment the same lmao i was expecting 90's bops and early 00's breakthroughs not whatever this is lmao
@@schauschau2552They don’t mean it as “the best years” it’s just when it was the most popular, and it was arguably the most popular in 2009-2015 as every other big song was EDM influenced
And now I'm going down the rabbit hole. I'm too old to go down this hole again. 🤣@@schauschau2552
this is NOT the golden age of raving O.o. Didnt hear even ONE rave song...
EDM's Golden Era, lol. This is pop music with electronic beats and a "drop". Music for people that don't know much about it.
EDM "fans" are some of the worst gatekeepers, I swear to god. Progressive house crossed over into the mainstream for a little bit. What's so bad about that? If anything, it's a good thing for EDM.
based@@steevieg
Facts this commercial garbage is not electronic music
Golden age of EDM, well only in the USA is that the golden era, would say Europe has been in the Golden Era of EDM since the 90's and it is still in the Golden era to this day. There will be of course a few Americans who know about Europe's massive head start of EDM of course.
You don't "Rave" to these songs...
as a hardcore metal guy, I couldn't agree more about this golden era of EDM. man those song slap hard, especially live ! seen Skrillex twice + Jack Ü and every time, shit hit the fan hard !
I want to see this but with 90s and 2000s dance music like Daft Punk, Darude, Chemical Brothers, etc.
Darude too!!
Not having Faded by Alan Walker is criminal. That was huge
love how Martin still play "Animals" in his sets nowadays. That song is iconic!
golden era was late 80s, 90s and 00s
Best rave music was from 92 til 97... the birth of gabber... 😏
93 it started i think, correct me if im wrong
Izzy I. and Jack's matching outfit colours is such a vibe! Great video!
this is not the golden era,
WTF??????????? this is the most cormecial era
LMAO the "golden age" none of the tunes are from the 90s
The American golden age of EDM was 2010-2015??? Really????? I feel so so sorry for you guys.... The birth of EDM was around 1995 and you guys missed the best part of it!
Rave? This sounds like a pop festival.
i expected gabber or techno lol
True!
Golden progressive edm era.. 2009-2012. And new era again 2013-2014. 2015-2018. And now all blend
Where? 😂
I was Djing at the real golden era.
Tiësto, Cosmic Gate, Paul Oakenfold, Armin Van Buuren, Chicane, Faithless, Etc.
The ones on this video are just pop music.
Justin Bieber EDM? Come on...
these are like mainstream super light EDM, like EDM for grandpas that would break bones if they heard a real bass....these light ones are for the wannabees who never been to a real rave
2010 to 2015? Golden era of EDM? Seriously? Guys, do your homework! You got to at least go back a decade. 1995 to 2005 were the golden years of Trance and EDM.
But if they're talking about popular EDM then I think 2010‐15 is about right where it peaked in popularity. It was really the first time this type of music was being played on the radio. Anything earlier would be considered underground.
@@devinmay3038 Perhaps in the US. But US got very late to EDM compared to Europe and the rest of the world. And even so, even the legendary performance of Daft Punk in Coachella was back in 2006.
I thought they were doing adults, and I thought they were doing rave. Befuddled, confused, and perplexed.
Had zero reaching for the lazers over here ...
Imma go play the Gatecrasher Black album.... get some bangers echoing around in here. Might even strobe the ceiling lights :D
Golden era of EDM and not a single attempt to even include a track from the 90s?! It's not hard not to rave when there's no actual rave music being played.
1. Only Americans call it "EDM", everyone else just calls it "dance music"
2. America was late to the dance music party. Raves took off in Europe in the late 80s/early 90s.
“Everyone else” why does it even matter? What’s even the point of mentioning that if clearly this is a video where I’m assuming all of the people in it are American, therefore they are using the term EDM because that is the term to use in America.
@@mossburries Because this video is pure cringe. Chart dance music is considered "rave"? LMAO Only in America I guess. It would be like seeing a UK video about "gangsta rap" featuring Justin Bieber and Katy Perry.
@@CatsAreRubbish different countries have different cultures
I remember when Americans started calling it EDM and I was like “huh? Do you mean dance music?”. It was always dance music in Australia (or “Ministry of Sound” music lol). I know words evolve but this song list was not it.
I prefer the 90s Techno. This is my Generation....I'm 46 right now.
I'm turning 30 this year and this is considered old? When I think the "golden age" of rave trance music I'm thinking 90s. Half of this stuff I consider pop
We’re old bud, accept it 😢 lol
2010- 2015 is more like bronze age edm
I agree 100% even in my times was like the end of gold entering the silver era in the 2000's, coming from underground raves to things like Freaknight in Seattle's biggest raves in Halloween times by like 2005. when Paul Van Dyk and Tiesto ruled most main stages with drum n' bass and happy hardcore on the other stages, liquid dancing and popping all over
2016+ is plastic edm
Rave, americans, EDM... 3 things that is not to be mentioned together. Rave & EDM is 2 things not to be mentioned together.
"Sandstorm" by Darude or "Dance with the Devil" by 6th Gate were my two top EDM jams. But that was back in 2000 & 2001 when I was in my early to mid 20's and would go to raves and rolling on ecstasy.
NO ONE can resist racing to Sandstorm!
It's actually The 6th Gate by D-Devils. Dance With The Devil is the album name by D-Devils, where the song was released.
Sorry but the golden age of EDM would be 99-04
You beat me to it
95
Runaway and Titanium are the 2 incredible songs on this video that I would give passes to.
No it's not
I thought the 90s was the golden era lmao
It was. 2010 to 2015 saw EDM come back into the mainstream, but imo it wasn't as good as the 90s.
Yeah golden era of Rave is 90-00
Glad to see that i agree with the comments for once. Golden age 2010-2015? CRAZY
The luigi death stare or the "really dude" that they gave Gina was priceless. That was me and I never listened to this song fully until after I graduated highschool in 2020 and the first time i heard clarity was 2014
This was so disappointing. I was expecting Milk Inc, Lasgo, Sylver, Ian van Dahl. The list literallly goes on!
Most people do not refer to EDM as a genre. It's an umbrella term. People mostly talk about individual styles when describing music, such as DnB, or Techno. Aside from that, most of these songs were more towards the pop music feel, which is not indicative of it being a golden era. I would argue the 00s was the golden era (L'Amour Toujours by Gigi D'Agostino came out in '00, just saying). Lastly, raves are usually play very distinct genres of electronic music, none of which were in the video. Raves were also notorious for its drug use.
Then again, this video seems to be more tailored towards the US audience, and they have a very different perspective on electronic music, so this is probably where the differences lie.
Funny how 9:28 to 9:30 they say “EDM People will not see this as a golden age” & the comments validate that statement LMAOOO
We need a part two of this one so bad
Not even CLOSE to the golden era, but some of them are GOOD!
the wut? the golden age is 2010-2015? THE HELL?! GOD I'M OLD!!!
I was thinking the same thing hahaha. Totally different perspective from mine.
