A few disclaimers: This study is almost a year old now, and it only focuses on the midwest rave scene. As with any study of this type, I'm sure there have been updates to my information, and changes in the subculture that differ from my report.

In the interest of keeping up to date, I encourage people to
critique this study and give me suggestions for updating or improving it. In particular, I have to admit glossing over the musical history. Those of you who have a clearer, more detailed understanding of the music's development, please help me out.

Any
references, web sites, articles, people, music samples, pictures, and so on you could suggest for additional information would be great. You can email me directly.

The file's pretty big, so be patient as it loads.


Sociologists
: there's a lot of subculture slang in it.
Ravers
: there's a lot of sociological/ academic jargon in it.
Everyone:
enjoy.
