Another point that's missed here is, by and large, musical
revolutions happen in time with other youth/cultural changes.
These can be brought around by changes of society (rock and roll
due to teenagers having money) or changes in the drugs that
society does, amongst other things.
One big reason house and techno became so big was the association
with MDMA, particulalrly in the UK youth culture of the 80s.
I total agree, it gave kids a degree of separation from the
generations before, something that was their own.
I remember when people who still drank when E was at full swing
where referred to as "beer monsters" but the main problem as I see
it with the E generation is they all went back to their day jobs on
Monday morning.
yep yep yep....
the (r)evolution never happened. it was co-opted by alco-pops
manufacturers and now we have a society with a huge drinking problem.
sorry veered off-topic there....apologies.
