Reading Festival 1991

Even though many won’t admit it, a lot of clubbers and ravers started out as Indie kids.   There are actually quite a few similarities between the two scenes

  1. Both started out as small and outside the mainstream
  2. Both went mainstream in a big way around 1991
  3. Both have stayed around in one form or another
  4. A gig can be like a club – hot, sweaty, hands in the air, people dedicated to the cause

More example tracks of the period will be added, and post your own, but these few sum up the era
