Ok, a few queries to unpick here, fuck all personal btw. Firstly, the “rave” years included a lot more than hardcore. House comes to mind. Whether you like that music (outside of hardcore) or not is irrelevant, it continues in lots of ways too. House has braved every conceivable watering down act on its ability to move a listener - prog, minimal, slo-mo, irony driven wank like DJ fucking Boring. Yet it’s still here & I’m still hunting for releases that are older than my kids.
The abomination that became Goa was always trying to appropriate from the 60’s, think this is an open secret. However, it had none of the musicality of an act like the Grateful Dead, paper thin liable to fracture whenever you actually had to listen to it. The horror, the horror. Goa should never be forgiven for these crimes. If you lump a genius band like the Dead in with such abominations, not only are you missing out on outstanding music you’re also misconstruing what the focus of that band was in its prime - openness, tolerance, inclusiveness & absolute commitment to the musical moment. Not a million miles away from the rave era, surely?
So different realms from the rave era, with the focus expanded to include music other than hardcore, had/has been fed through slightly different paths of provenance, even if it appeared as an umbrella that included repetitive beats & certain compounds.
