The best music: from the 90s | Rising Star Giveaway - Reward 10000 Starbits diary Round 57

The 1990s saw a second summer of love in Europe, fueled by electronic music, underground clubs, raves and the use of ecstasy to enhance the concert experience. At that time many gangs emerged with objectives very similar to MDMA. Since then the hits and sequences have become much more frequent and faster. Relics and names associated with medicine also began to be used. One of the groups that can be said to have mixed it all is 'The Prodigy'. Although it cannot be classified into a single genre, it belongs to electronic music.

At the time, it was a huge spectacle held in abandoned warehouses and factories on the outskirts of the city, especially in Manchester. Then, with the arrival of video and television, they decided to show what was happening in Europe. Not only under the influence of drugs and alcohol, but also just having a night on the town.

The Prodigy, as the title of their 1994 second album suggests, became a symbol not only of broken rhythms, but also of an entire "abandoned" generation. They were a symbol of a rebellious generation focused on rave culture and following ideals very similar to the punk movement. Later, over the years, it gave rise to what we know today as an underground culture dominated by other sounds such as techno and drum and bass. That is why The Prodigy are considered one of the icons of British music. For example, we saw his legendary song "Firestarter" at the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games.

To finish this small tribute to this great music icon, I would like to end this article by attending one of the band's last concerts at Alexandra Palace in London, where they performed one of the most successful songs of the band's career, We live forever. The last album. And Keith was right when he sang. Wunderkind is still alive and always will be as long as rave culture and electronic music exists.
