Electronic music has been around since the mid to late 70's in it's most popular form. But something about the EDM scene in the 1990's and early 2000's is something special. I was a wee youngling so I wouldn't have experienced the full rave scene that went down in clubs and warehouses (minus the drugs, because I consider myself straight-edge 90 percent of the time)
The EDM scene had some breakthrough genres which I personally adore. This isn't a review per-se but more of a reminiscence of the genre and sub-genre.

I've been looking back on how raves were back in the day. Maybe someone should suggest to Electric Daisy Carnival or Euro festivals to once in a while do a throwback where they play ATB, Dune, Lasgo, Wamdue Project, Tiesto,
For some reason, it's hard for me to get into the new EDM though I have soft spots for Skrillex, Deadmau5, Kaskade, Tiesto. But for me personally the nostalgic songs of the millennial generation seem to have a hold on me. I guess that's what nostalgia goggles are for music.
