In the late 1980s, the rave phenomenon swept the youth culture of
the United Kingdom, incorporating the generations' two newest
social stimulants: modern electronic dance music and a notorious
designer drug known as Ecstasy. Although the movement began in
rebellion against mainstream culture, its underground dynamism soon
attracted the interest of novelists, screenwriters, and filmmakers
who attempted to reflect the phenomenon in their works. Through
artistic and commercial popularization, the once obscure subculture
was transformed into a pop-culture behemoth with powerful links to
the entertainment industry. This study deals with the
transformative effects of film, television and literature on club
culture. Chapters furthermore reflect club culture's own effect on
crime, ethnicity, sexuality and drug use. As the study traces
artistic depictions of club culture's development, each chapter
focuses on individual books, films and television shows that
reflect the transformation of the club culture into what it is
today.
