From Underground Raves to Mainstream Success: The Evolution of Electronic Dance Music
This chapter traces the journey of electronic dance music from its underground origins in the British party scene of the late 1980s to its global mainstream success in the 2000s. It explores the fusion of American house music and British fashion trends, the impact of acid house culture on youth movements, the commercialization of EDM by US record labels, and the transformation of the genre from a diverse and dynamic sound to a more homogenous form in the modern era.
