Glowsticks in the 80’s
The dance and rave culture really started to take of in the 80’s this was helped by clubs like the hacienda in Manchester, this club was archetypal to the creation of the dance culture in Manchester and the north west in general, this also spilled into other towns and cities up and down the UK and so to did all of the glowsticks. People would come from miles around to go to these clubs and raves in order to wave their glowstick frantically and proudly in the air. From then we move to the 90’s, which unfortunately was the demise of the hacienda but the birth era for many more clubs to come.

The 90’s saw the increase in popularity of dance music throughout the UK, it had then started to split into many different genres such as;
House, hard house, tech house, tribal house etc.
Trance, hard trance, psy-trance, tech trance
Hardcore, happy hardcore
Jungle, drum and bass
