I think we all know that the 90s rave scene was absolutely awesome from the stories we’ve heard – you know, calling an answerphone message that would direct you to some abandoned warehouse in the middle of nowhere which 2000 other people had all turned up to as well – but one of the sad parts about it is that there isn’t much video footage of it all. Although maybe that’s a good thing because you can argue that it all adds to the mythos of the era.

Anyway, a new TikTok account has been compiling footage of the 90s rave scene and as you might expect it’s completely lit and looks like quite the time. Mainly it’s just people in oversized bright jackets and baggy clothes gurning their faces off in some dark and dingy clubs, but isn’t that what it was all about?
Take a look at a few of the best clips we’ve found from the account below:

Lol that Keith Flint impersonator is a good one isn’t it? Even got the dance moves down and everything. Great selection of videos there.
Whenever I see footage like this I always think about how awkward it must have been for whoever was filming it because back then camcorders were absolutely massive and the only device that you would be able to film stuff like this on. Imagine lugging one of those around a rave. Makes the whole thing way way better.
