Rave Culture and Youth in the UK

Meanwhile, the younger generation was already under the influence of the emerging subcultures (rockers; hippies) and sources of entertainment such as cinemas, bars and rock or jazz concerts. We can argue that this was the stage where "Rave culture" started, as a progression of the inevitable development of the interests of the youth community. Originally started in Manchester, it quickly engulfed England, Scotland, Wales and the Northern Ireland. The participation rates were very high, while revellers were courageous and unstoppable. Later on, they were recognised as a potential threat to society because of such effects as psychological disorders, which were caused by drugs, and physical damages, which resulted from vandalism and violence.

There are several types of narcotics that can affect individual's insight of life and realness, and result in psychological depressions and mental fatigues. (CODA, 2011) It also claims that it is the cause of antisocial behaviour of youth, which usually leads to fights with other members of the party. And the "disease" of the Rave's does not stop at this point. It may also result in a bad relationship with the members of the family and others.
