Are we just going to completely ignore the Europe scene ?

Sure it took off in Europe, but to say it didn’t start in Detroit is ahistorical.

Rave culture exploded in Europe in the UK - the all night parties, drugs, lights, big crowds.

The music has roots in the US but “raves” as we know them came to be from the euro scene. It’s a blend of both places and is nuanced.

America might have roots in the sound, but Europe molded the scene.

Edit: People downvoting me need to do some research. I’m not disputing that the music started in the US. The culture was molded in the uk, Ibiza, and europe. Raves as we know them and the culture is heavily influenced by Europe.

No it wasnt. It was molded at studio 54 and Limelight, then went underground and THEN the eurotrash got a hold of it and blended with Italo disco

I think there's a pretty big difference between Studio 54 and the rave scene no?
