🌀 Personal throwback: the era of rave flyers 🎟️

Rave flyer.

Before Instagram, Facebook, and endless digital ads, the underground rave scene lived through paper. Flyers were everything — stuck on record shop walls, tossed into club lockers, or passed hand to hand by those who truly lived it. Those pieces of paper weren’t just invites. They were art. Each one bursting with loud colors, raw typography, and that mystery that got your heart racing before you even stepped into the party.


What we’re sharing here today is a visual trip: images pulled straight from Flying Over England by Mike Pendegast — a time capsule showing the creative chaos of 90s rave flyers. Neon, scribbles, collage… all pulsing with the raw energy of that era.

❓ I want to hear from you:

• Which flyer hits you the hardest?

• Got a rave memory tied to a flyer you still keep?


📹 If you’ve got a collection, send in photos or scans — we’ll build a video montage with the best ones here on the channel. Why it matters?



These flyers were the original social media. They told stories, built hype, and connected people — all without the internet. Understanding this analog legacy helps us value what we do today with memes, playlists, and digital posters. The spirit of the rave lives on in every piece of art we share.
