Hey @peterloupelis sorry I've only just noticed your reply, I'm not long back and I've been catching up on a mountain of work since my return!! It's a shame that the adaptations rarely match the imaginations of the books or indeed our perceptions of that imagination. I was involved in the rave scene and outdoor parties and festivals for several years, we also used to throw our own. There was certainly something in the air and it scared the powers that be.
Did you ever see a really old british film called the Quatermass Conclusion? if not catch the three hour plus TV version instead of the edited film. It's pretty dated but a fairly interesting story based around some kind of manipulated youth uprising. Ah yes "The Dominator Culture" leading us into a blind alley! Like you say it's certainly insidious but equally potentially miscalculated and perhaps the driving force that enables humanity to awaken from it's slumber.
