Loved this time, the music the love, everything about it was genuine, before it went commercial people just wanted to dance, that was all it was about! Mental.
Always nice to hear the opinion of real experts with first hand experience of the phenomenon they're discussing. With all these years hindsight it seems like a sketch from a comedy programme, not something that would be allowed on a news programme.
It's actually been sampled a couple of times already 😅 CamelPhat used it in a tune, and then Grafix - Acid Generation has some re-recorded vocal samples that are almost word for word from this
People in the comments essentially confirm it's true with their statements though and they don't even realize it. Granny wasn't so wrong after all. lol
Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it's not going on ;) I've been hitting freeparties with my mates since the age of 15 and we're certainly not alone in that respect. Maybe the scene varies from place to place but where i'm from freeparties are still going strong with everyone from teens to the 30+ crowd turing out in force on a regular basis. The underground scene is bigger and more varied than ever before, we just don't get as much media attention as you guys had back in the day.
It's so cute to see how naïve and narrow-minded the older generations are about drug taking 😅 It's a lot more acceptable nowadays, finally people realise that it's not just dirty criminals that use them. Normal, hard working people may like a bit of Class As every now and then, and that's okay.
@@palebeachbum What a completely ignorant comment. It's not black & white, it's entirely possible to dabble in the use of most drugs without being an "addict". Someone who's homeless and scrounges pennies to shoot up heroin as often as they can, THAT'S an addict. Someone with their life together, who likes to occasionally take them when at a social event such as a rave or music festival, that is not a drug addict.
A few months back there was a warehouse rave round the corner from the biggest police station in Sheffield. The cops couldn't do anything about it cos the only way in was through a reinforced steel door. They just stood around scratching their heads. Funniest shit I've seen in a while. To be fair to the Sheffield police, they don't really bother shutting down raves unless they're in a built up area. Usually they just turn up early on in the night and tell us when to be gone by the next day.
exactly man. it's especially insulting to people who are currently trying to build the underground scene by making music, putting on parties and spinning underground records.
why is there always a "it's not like it used to be" comment on these types of videos? "dance music is far too commercial now"... biggest/worst generalisation i've heard in years. underground dance music is everywhere if you know where to go and you actually have an interest in it.
woah, big shocker. drugs have been part of the music scene, like, forever. heck, even the old impressionist artist movement of the late 1800`s had it`s fair share of absynth and alcohol addicts.
there is a track that uses this documentary audio as a sample in it: "some newspapers have called acid house music a sinister and evil cult wich lure young people into drug taking" anyone knows?
Yeah, when former ravers make claims like that, it just demonstrates that they've become willfully out of touch. Not unlike the people being interviewed in this video they dismiss the current underground scene out of hand, without having any real knowledge of it. The difference being that they really ought to know better. Quite sad really but I guess that we all grow old eventually...
how could people be so ignorant,is call acid house because the 303 synth makes an acid a very squeaky sound called acid,it don have nothing to do with talking lsd acid or insitate people to do it,actually people in this scene don't take acid is the progressive and pyitrance scene the one that to that as majority of the members are a bunch of skaty new era hippies
