the chicken or the egg? the beans or the raves? were raves orignally began by the existance of pills? or did pills become popular because of raves?
egg came before the chicken, as dinosaurs and many other creatures laid eggs. Meaning the chicken evolved later. as for the pills, you should check out some of the ecstasy documentaries out there, some are quite excellent really.

Well, the IDEA of raves have been around long before MDMA was discovered. But after it was, i guess you could say thats when the whole strobe lights and thumpa thumpa came around.
I found something more recent that says the opposite: Chicken Came Before the Egg: "Scientific Proof" - CBS News
