Though must admit I've never heard it.
amen to that.
I was just about to shout...What! No punk, then started counting back.....So lucky to have lived through the last 40 years of music, school days and clubs gave me a choice of
House / Techno (and all the genres)
MADchester
Ambient
Shoe-gazing
Grunge
`Stadium Size` Heavy Metal
Breaks and DnB
Gothic
The radio today sounds pretty bland in comparison.
Aoki confirmed his status of complete bell-end "if I'm bringing $1 million into the club for that night, i want $500,000"
Id stick that sponge cake right up his arse.
Remember the reissue of seminal Sasha and Digweed album Renaissance: The Mix Collection had the M People tracks removed.
Noel Gallagher makes an excellent point on the Oasis ‘Supersonic’ documentary when talking about youth movements (Britpop arguably being the last one, after acid house / summer of love).what I think has changed is that the punk spirit has gone from music. something like the klf could never go top 10 now. it's partly evil emperor cowell's fault but also changes in tech, society etc. it's all too easy and no struggle was ever meant to be easy...
The rave scene of the early 90's was the commercial explosion, acid was the start in the UK, but the UK took that and it developed into the hardcore sound of 90 - 92/93, which developed into something much bigger - massive raves all over the country, new fashions, new styles of music (breakbeats/faster 4/4), it seemed like everyone was into it at the time, but these documentaries always skip over that, they talk about acid, maybe mention The Prodigy, then if they are still talking about the rave scene then it skips straight to drum and bass/jungle!
Maybe that early rave scene is not looked upon as that important, maybe too many chipmonk vocals, or kids tv show samples?
While all that was going on, you still have the house music scene which was very popular too
