Talk:Rave

Rave

Early nineties, I raved across the south of England in the late eighties. Staring 1987 ✌️ maybe needs an edit 94.173.17.182 (talk) 19:46, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

Addition of "The Death of Rave" as an album under "History by country">>"United Kingdom">>"Legal and underground raves (1994-present)"

A sentiment experienced by many in the UK around early 2006 was that rave was dead, and one such person at v/vm test records, an avant-garde UK dance/electronic label, James Leyland Kirby, visited the Berghain Club in Berlin. ...“At the time Berghain was about to explode on the international club scene as a temple. The feeling was in the air that something special was happening. I went and saw a pale shadow of the past. Grim and boring beats, endlessly pounding to an audience who felt they were part of an experience but who lacked cohesion and energy. For me personally something had died. Be it a spirit, be it an ideal, be it an adventure in sound. Rave and techno felt dead to me." https://www.factmag.com/2014/06/10/vvm-the-death-of-rave-a-partial-flashback/#:~:text=“The%20idea%20for%20The%20Death,club%20scene%20as%20a%20temple. Due to this experience, Kirby went on to create "The Death of Rave," a soulless, pounding, 19 hour and 25 minute album in two parts, The Death of Rave (The Source) and The Death of Rave (Additional) on July 2, 2006. He later went on to release a remastered edition of 8 selected tracks in the 40-minute, 'The Death Of Rave (A partial flashback)' on May 29, 2014."

I found it intriguing that it was not included but thought I'd mention it on the off-chance it was relevant to the article. I'm not sure if it detracts or adds to it. If it needs re-worded that's fine as well. Keebruce (talk) 22:20, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

US History of Rave is poorly sourced mess; suggest massive trim

The entire section at Rave#United States is high on WP:PUFFERY and low on sourcing. Examples below.

• Rave#Origins in disco and psychedelia (1970s) seems to have only the statement about comparing ravers to hippies as sourced.
• Rave#Growth in Chicago (1980s) has a good source citing Frankie Khuckles as a creator of house, but the other source seems more focused on British house music.
• Rave#New York Raves and Party Promoters (1980s) is entirely unsourced.
• Rave#Southern California and Latin America (1990s) is sourced only to a blog.
• Rave#Growth in California has the most sourcing, but the first source is a dead link, and the remainder are about a specific death in the colosseum. Very little about the development of rave in California.
• Rave#Seattle is entirely unsourced.
• Rave#Recent years (2000s) has its only source as being specific to EDC, though the hatlink to the list of EDM festivals is useful.

If nobody objects, I intend to severely trim the section down to what is currently verifiable, and any verifiable statements can be readded with sources. EducatedRedneck (talk) 15:08, 29 July 2026 (UTC)

Missing info

Hey, this is missing information. Detroit was already doing raves way before the second summer of love. Like established party network in warehouses. I have the contact information for the people who can give first hand source material. One of the creators of techno and the creator of Detroit house along with people who were throwing the raves. If someone can reach out that would be great. ~2026-48004-73 (talk) 02:37, 5 September 2026 (UTC)
