In Australia where in many ways it felt like we were second-hand consumers of UK rave/dnb culture, the "digital" was a big part of that experience in the early 90s.

Think of all the newsgroups, mailing lists and blogs. Think hyperreal.org and the community around all that.

The music itself may not have spread digitally as we saw from the mid-90s onwards, but discussion of the music certainly did.

Hyperreal was an integral part of a lot of the local scenes in North America, too. Ishkur, who is something of an Internet rave culture celebrity, known for his guide to electronic music, guide to rave culture, and his rave captions project, once posted an essay to the nw-raves mailing list arguing that rave culture was inherently a geek culture. Which was arguably true for the PNW and northern California.
