![]() Music For The Jilted Generation meant quite a bit to a lot of people across the Western world. This early work didn’t make it over the pond, but as they got bigger they moved decidedly toward the soccer riot end of the music spectrum. ![]() This hard-hitting (especially if you lived in the UK/US suburbs) sound was essentially the brostep of the 90’s. This sound, roughly approximating the halfway point between a rave and a soccer riot, took the UK by storm. They pioneered a sound called “big beat” which is the genre you’re thinking of when you think of The Prodigy, Fatboy Slim, Chemical Brothers & even The Crystal Method. To note, MDMA had been illegal for less than 15 years when this group showed up on the burgeoning UK open air & warehouse rave scene. This group was one of the ones there, pretty much at the beginning. Maxim & Keith Flint are two of the more visible faces of the group (the two guys yelling and having crazy body modification in every video). In case you need a refresher, The Prodigy was formed by Liam Howlett in 1990.
