It used to be that raves were grassroots organized, anti-establishment, unlicensed all-night drug-fueled dance parties held in abandoned warehouses or an open field. This book explores the dance music, drug use and social deviance that are part of the pulsing dynamics of this collective.Exposing the forces behind the decline of the rave scene in Philadelphia and elsewhere
"Anderson clearly has a passion for the subject matter and a keen focus on the 'decline' of rave culture which is to be commended. There is a need for in-depth considerations of post-rave club cultures as embedded in global, national, local and virtual spaces. The thoroughness of Anderson's empirical work, and her engagement with the data is useful and gives voice to young (and not so young!) people and culture."—Karenza Moore, Lancaster University
